This patio design is inspired by our Ocean Grande patio slab. The new Ocean Grande is Techo-Bloc’s latest dry cast slab using a new high-definition technology that provides an extremely tight surface texture with pores that are virtually invisible. This 60 mm thick slab is 19 ½’’ x 32 ½’’ and designed with very thin joint spacing for a seamless look that lets the slab's texture be the real star of the show. The Ocean texture is a first of its kind and was inspired by the veins left behind on sandy ocean shores. Perfect for pool decks and patios, this innovative concrete surface is slip-resistant and stays cooler under the feet on hot summer days due to its unique relief and light colour pallet.

Inspiration for a contemporary family room remodel in Orange County

Entering the back yard is like entering an English garden. To ensure a seamless look between the original new parts of the house, we built the covered patio using the same German schist stone and timber framed stucco. Further, the stone’s pointing matches the original historic stone, and we used a gray grout for a weathered, aged look. The space is finished off with spiraled lattice iron works and all slate roof. At the end of the roof is an open truss timber frame in a cathedral design. Copper flashing at the joints protects the wood from water sitting in the spaces and eventually rotting the joints. The patio itself features a flagstone floor, built in gas grill, and the other side of the Rumford fireplace found in the family room.

Natural stone is a look that simply cannot be beat. However, porcelain that looks like natural stone captures the beauty of it while also taking away the headache of maintaining a natural product. This homeowner had a very neutral and cool vibe going on in their kitchen and decided to do an Ardesia Marrone stone look porcelain on the floor. The 12x24's are laid in a 1/3 offset brick joint which really allows you to see the movement and color variation in each tile. The Ardesia has enough interest in it that it compliments the backslash and counter top movement without taking away from any of the other elements in the kitchen. Great contrast between the white cabinets and bead board as well!
