You should have seen the forming that allowed this bench to be poured in concrete. Plastic lumber was used. 4 profiles of the bench were cut from plywood, and the plastic lumber screwed to the plywood. The original idea was to cover this entire bench in red glass tile, but expense was too great. The bench was carefully designed (reclines @ 10%) and it's located close to the fire pit for human comfort reasons. The seat tips towards the rear and is very comfortable. I mocked up the exact forms in my office and transferred the data to the detail drawings, there are weep holes (3/4" sweeps) that eliminate water from collecting at the rear of the bench. Such a fun element. More photos of the entire space coming.

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.

There is an intentional elegance to the entry experience of the foyer, keeping it clean and modern, yet welcoming. Dark elements of contrast are brought in through the front door, natural slate floors, sconces, balusters and window sashes. The staircase is a transitional expression through the continuity of the closed stringer and gentle curving handrail that becomes the newel post. The curve of the bottom treads opens up the stair in a welcoming way. An expansive window on the stair landing overlooks the front entry. The 16’ tall window is softened with trimmed drapery and sconces march up the stair to provide a human scale element. The roof line of the exterior brings the ceiling down above the door to create a more intimate entry in a two-story space.
