Tile


We've been using Porcelanosa products for a while now and we are impressed with their european look and great quality. With their help, the Owners selected a beautiful neutral stone tile to be used for all the bathroom floors, bath & shower surrounds and a different mosaic tile to be used as a feature wall behind the sink vanity in each one of the bathrooms. The crew worked hard for a few days (weeks), but the results are amazing.

Front Door

As a focus for the main entry we proposed a large teak pivot front door. You can see attached a picture with the actual door as it arrived on site today, but stay tuned to see the final product installed with all the necessary hardware. This will be an impressive door.

Garapa deck

Rainy day on the job site today. The Garapa decking is almost complete, the steel structure for the Garapa trellis is in place, and next week the railing will be installed.

Even on a gloomy, rainy day like today the views from all over the house are still beautiful

Interior

One can enjoy wonderful views of the backyard, the moment you step into the house. The attached image is a picture from the Foyer looking towards the Living Room.


Wood Flooring - Nothing goes to waste

The Owners loved their original red oak floors and mentioned they would love to keep it. Because we hate wasting beautiful existing materials, during demolition the crew removed, salvaged and stored the existing wood flooring.

Last week they carefully installed the original wood flooring in the common areas of the house: Foyer, Living Area, Dining & Corridor. In the rest of the house (Bedrooms & Office) we will install a new red oak flooring that will match the size, layout, color & finish of the existing one as much as possible.






Driveway pavers

The crew finished the concrete apron, driveway strips and turnaround area installation.
