Exterior forms are emphasized with glass and fiber-cement panels at the top level, soaring over and sheltering containers clad in tougher, leathery Corten Steel at the ground level. Exposed concrete walls and rock-filled gabion retaining was selected to anchor the partially day-lighted basement level and garages to the land. Materials were chosen to be low-maintenance, relatively inexpensive, and to contrast the volumes that express the interior spaces.

We updated this full bathroom with elegant materials and fun textures for a unique look. Textured gray ceramic tile adds dimension to the shower walls. For the shower wall accent, and for the bathroom floors, we used a stunning multi color marble pebble mosaic tile. Light blue walls, white bead board and an all-white vanity add a modern vibe to this beachy bathroom.

The underside of the arbor shows the rich natural color. It has held well after three years whereas the top roof which was constantly exposed to the sun and needs re-oiling to regain the same rich color. Notice the beauty of the underside of the roof. Our company always likes to show the exposed carpentry of our projects. When done well the carpentry makes the project interesting and elegant. Only an excellent design and an expert craftsman can make the inside and the outside construction artistic. Photo credits: Dan Drobnick
