It's all in the details...

For Patrick Ottesen, owner of Foundation, KCMO, it's "all in the details."

“It’s in the detailing and however and how far (customers) wish to take that vision,” he says.

Ottesen was an architectural student before opening his own architectural salvage business in Kansas City's trendy West Bottoms. Interior designer Nate Berkus, of The Nate Berkus Show, was one of his customers when he worked at Architectural Artifacts, Inc. in Chicago.
