**★★★★★ — laurengalit, Aug. 2012**

> Ira Frazin is an incredibly talented architect. I've used him twice now and will be doing a third renovation with him in a few years. He has a fantastic eye for space and a talent for finishes. He has also been respectful of my budget -- any architect can create the dream home with unlimited dollars. Ira can do it within reason.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Shower base and floor** *(in Photo Questions)*

Can you please identify the product and manufacturer for the wood floor in the shower?

A: MTI makes the shower base and the teak mat to fit inside. http://mtibaths.com

**Q: Window** *(in Photo Questions)*

What kind of preparation or materials did you have to use for the window area to prevent moisture issues due to its location?

A: We used a standard waterproofing membrane wrapping the corners of the window. The sill has a slight slope so water will run off. And the joint between the tile and the window itself is sealed with a waterproof sealant.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the island?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Really reminds of an old high school chemistry lab or something, in a good way. Looking to have an extra long island in my new home, so it can serve double duty as an informal dining space. This amount of seating would be perfect.

A: The island is about 4' wide by over 17' long. The chemistry lab trigger is probably the black matte countertop. We used Paperstone for that top.

**Q: How long is this kitchen island?** *(in Photo Questions)*

How long is this kitchen island?

A: A little over 17' long.

**Q: Manufacturer Shower Door** *(in Photo Questions)*

Who makes the shower door?

A: C R Laurence

**Q: No track whatsoever on bottom?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Beautiful and I love the hanging door approach but it seems like if there is no track or guide of any kind at the base, the glass panels could swing which seems dangerous, say if you leaned or fell against them.  Is there anything preventing them from swinging? Any splash issues at the base/foot? Thanks.

A: There is a guide at the end of the fixed panel and a gasket along the bottom of the door. So no issues with swinging or splashing. Take a look at the manufacturer's specs for more information.
