Mercury Mosaics and Tile
This Florida Gulf home is a project by DIY Network where they asked viewers to design a home and then they built it! Talk about giving a consumer what they want!
We were fortunate enough to have been picked to tile the kitchen--and our tile is everywhere! Using tile from countertop to ceiling is a great way to make a dramatic statement. But it's not the only dramatic statement--our monochromatic Moroccan Fish Scale tile provides a perfect, neutral backdrop to the bright pops of color throughout the kitchen. That gorgeous kitchen island is recycled copper from ships!
Overall, this is one kitchen we wouldn't mind having for ourselves.

The renovation of the Woodland Residence centered around two basic ideas. The first was to open the house to light and views of the surrounding woods. The second, due to a limited budget, was to minimize the amount of new footprint while retaining as much of the existing structure as possible.
The existing house was in dire need of updating. It was a warren of small rooms with long hallways connecting them. This resulted in dark spaces that had little relationship to the exterior. Most of the non bearing walls were demolished in order to allow for a more open concept while dividing the house into clearly defined private and public areas. The new plan is organized around a soaring new cathedral space that cuts through the center of the house, containing the living and family room spaces. A new screened porch extends the family room through a large folding door - completely blurring the line between inside and outside. The other public functions (dining and kitchen) are located adjacently. A massive, off center pivoting door opens to a dramatic entry with views through a new open staircase to the trees beyond. The new floor plan allows for views to the exterior from virtually any position in the house, which reinforces the connection to the outside.
The open concept was continued into the kitchen where the decision was made to eliminate all wall cabinets. This allows for oversized windows, unusual in most kitchens, to wrap the corner dissolving the sense of containment. A large, double-loaded island, capped with a single slab of stone, provides the required storage. A bar and beverage center back up to the family room, allowing for graceful gathering around the kitchen. Windows fill as much wall space as possible; the effect is a comfortable, completely light-filled room that feels like it is nestled among the trees. It has proven to be the center of family activity and the heart of the residence.

Made for Monterrey: Having worked as an educator in the field of architecture for 5 years, Lucia was thrilled at the prospect of creating a blueprint for the hilltop home she would share with her husband, Eduardo. After its completion the couple set out to imagine a warm interior environment that would expand on her theme of designing spaces to open from the inside out. Besides, the natural setting and sweeping city views practically begged to be showcased. Read the full story on this project > http://cantoni.com/interior-design-services/projects/gte-house

Located on Washington’s Key Peninsula, this custom home was designed and built to provide a tranquil retreat from the daily bustle of urban life.
The living room is captured on three sides by a Classic Series custom wood window curtain wall spanning over thirty five feet within a single opening and turning two 90 degree butt-glazed corners, all at a height of over eleven feet. Our 2 ¼” common mullion provides clean and narrow frame sightlines to maximize the panoramic view of the Puget Sound. Other Classic Series architectural windows run as clerestory around the perimeter of the structure providing ample amounts of natural light to the interior spaces.
The kitchen area features a six-panel XXX-XXO Lift/Slide door system that opens from a post-free corner. Three panels one side of the door provide the option of sliding the panels to either side or even to the center creating an opening that can be fine-tuned as needed for desired ventilation or traffic flow.
Other unique features include casement and awning flush sapele wood “vents” that blend into the exterior wood siding, and a large, single-panel teak pocketing door that opens a forty-five square foot clear opening from an interior shower to the exterior.

Bringing the outdoors in and letting ample light flood the room, this window back splash was the perfect opportunity to do so. Stainless Steel undermounted sinks allow a clean look next to the white easy to clean quartz counter top. A built up flamed black absolute granite adds texture and creates an informal eat-in kitchen space.

It's not stone, it's petrified wood! This durable and rare tile would make for a luxurious and warm bathroom.

Oversized sliding glass doors pocket completely away to dissolve the physical boundaries between interior and exterior, creating an uninterrupted flow from the rear courtyard through the main living space to the pool area, all against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.

A professional couple asked IFA to turn a 2,100 square-foot penthouse in a converted 1890s warehouse building into a modern pied-a-terre. A layered wall of wood, glass, steel, and drywall mediates between the private and public spaces. This wall connects the entire apartment, from the upstairs where it defines the study and guest room to the western facade where it dissolves into glass to offer an expansive view of the Hudson River. Dramatically cantilevered from this wall is a steel staircase offering an overview of the great room. Crowning the larger stairwell is a new skylight bringing daylight to the rear of the apartment.

In an effort to exploit the benign climate of Southern California, one of the primary design initiatives was to design spaces for indoor-outdoor living. The glass roll-up doors on the lower level allow spaces that are moderate in their square footage to flow uninterrupted into the exterior (both the central courtyard as well as a landscaped patio in the front of the property) to expand the livable area of the house without constructing additional square footage. @Benny Chan
