"My Plaster finishes took me all the way to Dubai!! I'm back and ready to rock for you!! This finish is "Tuscany" from Texston Co. you'll never find a better plaster company!!!!!

This traditional master bathroom is part of a full bedroom suite. It combines masculine and feminine elements to best suit both homeowners' tastes. 2011 ASID Award Winning Design This 10,000 square foot home was built for a family who prized entertaining and wine, and who wanted a home that would serve them for the rest of their lives. Our goal was to build and furnish a European-inspired home that feels like ‘home,’ accommodates parties with over one hundred guests, and suits the homeowners throughout their lives. We used a variety of stones, millwork, wallpaper, and faux finishes to compliment the large spaces & natural light. We chose furnishings that emphasize clean lines and a traditional style. Throughout the furnishings, we opted for rich finishes & fabrics for a formal appeal. The homes antiqued chandeliers & light-fixtures, along with the repeating hues of red & navy offer a formal tradition. Of the utmost importance was that we create spaces for the homeowners lifestyle: wine & art collecting, entertaining, fitness room & sauna. We placed fine art at sight-lines & points of interest throughout the home, and we create rooms dedicated to the homeowners other interests.

This Starwood home, located in Frisco, TX, was originally designed in the Mediterranean-Tuscan style, typical of the late 90’s and early 2k period. Over the past few years, the home’s interior had been fully renovated to reflect a more clean-transitional look. Aquaterra’s goal for this landscape, pool and outdoor living renovation project was to harmonize the exterior with the interior by creating that same timeless feel. Defining new gathering spots, enhancing flow and maximizing space, with a balance of form and function, was our top priority. Wade Griffith Photography

Los Gatos – Contemporary Tuscan - This two story home captures the essence of a Tuscan Villa, yet is clearly of our time and without all the crumbling stone and sentimental goo gah. Exterior and interior design details have been stripped down to their elemental forms for a clean and crisp, yet comfortable atmosphere that still evokes a feeling of old world sensibility. This outdoor loggia frames the views of the Silicon Valley. Equally comfortable housing pool parties for the neighborhood kids, or elegant dinner parties for the high tech elite. A shady outdoor loggia with cozy outdoor fireplace create the perfect environment for relaxed Saturday afternoon barbecues.
