The hidden beauty of maple! It’s unique… It’s stunning… And it’s completely natural! Lauzon has unlocked the inherent beauty of maple hardwood. Through their new, breakthrough process they have unveiled maple’s exquisite grain patterns, textures and mineral streaks. Combined with rich neutral shades and a warm–glow finish, this floor offers an astonishing design that will evolve to even greater elegance over time.

From floorplan to materials to decor, this architect's home reflects a lot of thought and creativity. Showplace cabinetry's inherent flexibility was a perfect fit. Almost every room in the home has a Showplace creation in it, from the spacious kitchen to the children's playroom.

We transformed this already stunning home in Greenwich, CT, infusing it with a modern aesthetic while preserving its inherent elegance.

Our Norton Nightstand exudes a raw urban appeal, with the inherent characteristics of its salvaged wood and contrasting metal ware. The nightstand offers versatile storage space with its three multi-purpose drawers. The Norton Nightstand's design is modest yet stunning and is bound to enliven any decor. The pine wood used is FSC certified and meets universal sustainability standards.

Restraint and order are inherent in classical design. Breathtakingly enhanced by lighting, the room displays harmony in both proportion and placement. Expansive glass walls and reflective floors echo the rustling silk fabric. The tables, wearing pale silk taffeta, appear dressed for a waltz.

This mid century modern home was built in 1956. The original copper fireplace was in tact and the tongue in groove ceiling was restored. Painting the windows frames black added sophistication and elegance. Wide plank, wire brushed hardwood was added throughout the house to add to the connection with nature inherent in the architecture of the house.

A radical remodel of a modest beach bungalow originally built in 1913 and relocated in 1920 to its current location, blocks from the ocean. The exterior of the Bay Street Residence remains true to form, preserving its inherent street presence. The interior has been fully renovated to create a streamline connection between each interior space and the rear yard. A 2-story rear addition provides a master suite and deck above while simultaneously creating a unique space below that serves as a terraced indoor dining and living area open to the outdoors.

If you’re looking for an excellent flooring option then look to cork floating planks. These planks don’t need adhesive as they click and lock together. The honeycomb cell construction of cork allows it to be both compressible and supple. Because of this, cork floors are exceedingly durable and perform as excellent noise and thermal insulators; cork will dent or warp when subjected to pressure, but will return to its original form as a part of its inherent 'memory'. Take a look at floating cork flooring today and see the wide selection available

The architecture of the Karoo Wilderness Center is a result of a thorough process of investigation into the origins and character of the Karoo landscape and the flora and fauna that result from its particular qualities. The tectonic events that produced the specific topography of the site, trajectories of water runoff, wind movement, soil composition, and effects of plant and animal species on the landscape have converged to create the conditions of the site chosen for the Center. Each of these factors have in turn been subject to the impact of human inhabitation and vernacular building practices, amplified in recent generations to a harmful degree by shortsighted agricultural strategies and their associated effects of overgrazing, water over-manipulation and erosion. Fundamental to the architectural response is the premise that the human species is an inherent part of the conditions that comprise and affect the landscape. The significance of the Center, enhanced and informed by the activities that occur within and as an extension of it, lies in the co-dependence of the Center and the ecosystem as inherently bound entities. The architecture of the Center is intended to make evident the natural processes of the Karoo and establish a new precedent for building within and through an ecosystem defined by dynamic flux.

Stone: Calacutta Borghini Finishes: Polished Surfaces Whether you're remodeling a kitchen, building one from scratch or just ready to give yours a face-lift, countertops are a central part of the look. Nothing beats marble for sheer elegance. It stands up to heat well, and because it remains perennially cool, it's a traditional choice for pastry and baking stations.Quartz Master Slabs are manufactured from natural materials, each slab is unique and variations to shade and pattern are inherent of the product. http://www.quartzmasters.com/

For more than a decade the owners of this property dreamed of replacing a well-worn trailer, parked by a previous owner onto a forested corner of the site, with a permanent structure that took advantage of breathtaking views across South Park basin. Accompanying a mutual friend nearly as long ago, the architect visited the site as a guest and years later could easily recall the inspiration inherent in the site. Ultimately dream and inspiration met to create this weekend retreat. With a mere 440 square feet planted in the ground, and just 1500 square feet combined across three levels, the design creates indoor and outdoor spaces to frame distant range views and protect inhabitants from the intense Colorado sun and evening chill with minimal impact on its surroundings.

New York Flagstone in a full color range has subtle color variations which include shades of gray and gray-green with some tan, brown, gun-metal and rust mixed in. The surface is natural cleft which shows its inherent characteristics and slight variations in face. The quality of our New York Flagstone makes this our top selling product.

Nature is omnipresent and ingrained in every fiber of the home, not just through the thoughtful integration of interior and exterior spaces and placement of openings that highlight the surrounding views, but in the selection of materials that the interior is composed of—blond oaks with minimal protective finish preserving the inherent essence of wood, bespoke hand-finished metals that patina over time and exude that wabi-sabi quality of imperfect perfection, plasters that have been hand molded into sculptural shapes of colossal proportions (main fireplace), natural stones whose leathered surface only becomes more burnished and warmer to the touch, organic fibers and hand-woven rugs.
