Richard Mandelkorn A newly connected hallway leading to the master suite had the added benefit of a new laundry closet squeezed in; the original home had a cramped closet in the kitchen downstairs. The space was made efficient with a countertop for folding, a hanging drying rack and cabinet for storage. All is concealed by a traditional barn door, and lit by a new expansive window opposite.

The client was dismayed to discover their preferred commercial grade rubber playground floor tiles were financially infeasible for the small residential area (200 square feet). We researched and presented comparable soft, but durable, options for their consideration. They settled on a dark green commercial grade carpeting with extra trick padding that semi-resembles astro turf. The result is a soft, cushy feeling, which the client ultimately determined was preferable, as rubber would have created brush burns while children crawled.

Design ideas for a large modern front yard landscaping in San Francisco.

Although this home features beautiful 16′ crown molded ceilings that open up the rooms and give it a feeling of grandeur, the high ceilings posed a few design challenges. In particular, with so much vertical space to fill, the high ceilings can make rooms appear much larger and spacious than they are, so the trick is to play with that perception. Our design team was up to task and did not disappoint. They welcomed the opportunity to create functional improvements to the home that kept in consideration scale and proportion. In the home office, we designed a transom window above the glass doors in the newly formed office wall. And, in the kitchen, we added a decorative beam that spanned the width of the room below the height of the ceiling—a height between the living room windows and the transom windows.

This was an unusual request to clean a modern piece of contemporary artwork by New York City artist Mel Kendrick on display in one of the gardens of the Wormsley Estate. I’m no art expert but having done some research on the internet it appears to be part of a collection known as “Markers” that were on display at the Madison Square Park in 2009. The work is made from concrete cast into different coloured sections and fitted together to form a rather larger piece of art which having been exposed to the UK elements was now starting to discolour and go orange in part. Cleaning Modern Concrete Artwork Being such a prestigious work of art i had to be careful not to damage the stone in anyway so after careful consideration I worked out a process using an alkaline cleaning product Tile Doctor Pro-Clean. To get the statue clean I used a warm water dilution of Tile Doctor Pro Clean working it into small areas at a time spraying the solution on and scrubbing with a brush, then rinsing it off with clean water. This process took some time but certainly did the trick. Sealing a Concrete Artwork With this project being outdoors and with it taking a couple of days I had to pick a good weather window and fortunately the weather held out long enough so I could continue and seal the concrete in order to protect it going forward. Again careful consideration had to be given to the choice of sealer and in the end I went with Tile Doctor Ultra Seal which is an impregnating sealer that soaks into the pores protecting from within and most importantly it’s a natural look sealer that does not change or enhance the colours. If you’re a lover a modern art then you should appreciate the difference and will agree with me that the statue now looks new again.

The Great Room This was originally a large screening room that the client wanted to re-purpose for entertainment. The structure was an addition to the house forming a separate wing with multiple points of entry to the outdoors. The desire was to vault the hip-roof stricture to the apex and create a light airy feeling with high ceilings, exposed timbers, and a focal point of an antique fireplace. Structural considerations required sizeable steel truss beams to hold the ceiling structure together at the ridge. The trick was to get them in without significant disruption to the existing roof structure. The exposed “timbers” were applied as false beams pressed from foam so as to remain lightweight. The fireplace surround came from an old French farmhouse and was modified to be attached to a hidden steel structure in the wall. The overall effect with lighting and furnishings is a grand space suitable for entertaining and outflow to the gardens and terraces surrounding the structure.
