This contemporary living/kitchen design has been an absolute honor. This condo owner has requested a TOTAL transformation and to please go ahead and just make it happen, an exciting and truly a bit nerving at the same time. The entire space has a sophisticated & clean look. The walls have been layered in metallic cork wallpaper with gold flecks, the velvet sofa and new chairs (have been recovered) were carefully selected for a warm and glamorous feel. The accents of pewter, gold and layers of grey are one of the top trending colors and metal finishes and will be for some time to come. The upper cabinets have been refinished in Repose Gray by Sherwin Williams and lowers in a custom pigmented beautiful brilliant blue in satin finish. the gold hand pulls create a nice balance to the warm gold tones throughout the space. Granite with veins of blues, green and grey compliment the matte glass back splash in subway tile. The edison ceiling and tripod fixtures have been designed and implemented by K.R.Totty. The yellow laminate flooring is now a medium charcoal/brown in 8" bamboo. The largest upper cabinet is now a showcase for colorful pretty dishware and collectible pottery. Glass shelves and mirror add to this lighter, brighter and cheerful kitchen!!

The design strategy was for Al Curtis to begin designing a pool that would fit into the grand scope of this expansive back yard – with the homeowners’ voice in the back of his mind saying what would you do if you could do anything in this yard? His only wish list was a lazy river, and hers was a super long waterslide. As long as those two items were incorporated, the rest of the yard was a blank slate. The pool grew to the largest residential pool our team has built to date, incorporating a vinyl liner pool into the footprint, wrapped by a lazy river created with shotcrete flowing through a grotto, and a lower pool with a 25′ waterslide. The pool also features a sunshelf, coated in ecoFinish, a bridge over the grotto entrance, a swim in cave/grotto area. The lazy river is powered by three Endless pool units. In his unique way, Curtis begins designing and building the pool in his head- estimating he builds it 100 times from the underground up before he ever puts pencil to paper. He draws the pools in the same way he did when he began his career nearly thirty years ago, by hand, with a pencil and triangular architectural scale ruler 1″=10′. Once he has a design he likes, he’ll hand color with watercolor markers. This is the entire plan the customer sees before they make the decision and give the project it’ go ahead.
