This guest house and courtyard was part of the 2014 Designer Show House in Lighthouse Point, Florida benefitting Food for the Poor. My vision was a space that allowed guests to be transported, which is why I selected the guesthouse and courtyard. With careful attention to every detail, I created a modern sanctuary filled with exquisite, unique pieces that revive the spirit and inspire curiosity. It's a space where guests will feel transported with exotic elegance and leave invigorated.

This was a slightly odd shaped island (hopefully, the owners agree) and raised bar that we built an African mahogany countertop for. The countertop is 1.5" thick and built as an edge grain top (we specify .75" to 2" strips that run the full-length of the countertop, so no butt-joints). This countertop is finished in our food safe mineral oil that allows the owners to cut/chop directly on the surface. This top also features our Roman ogee edge treatment. One thing to note about this countertop - the homeowner was looking for a deeper red color so we built and finished the countertop and then parked it outside on a sunny day to allow the sun to deepen the color. This sped the patina process that would have happened naturally in a six-month-to-a-year time frame. Typically, freshly machined African mahogany has a more pinkish/salmon hue.

Africa Thatch Panels can either be attached to custom wooden framework or metal umbrella kits avaialbe in various daiamters. Clips on the thatch install easily on the metal rings of the kits and then a top cone finishes off the structure.
