This sustainable project was completed on a private 80 acre view parcel in the hills above Corralitos, CA. The owners were drawn to us through the Green Building link on our website and after an initial meeting, hired us to manage the preliminary feasibility studies, site work, design and eventual construction. With this type of project, we start at the beginning; making sure that development on the site is both possible and practical before we spend a lot of our client’s budget on plans that may not be suitable. After we determined that building on the property would be permitted by the Santa Cruz County Building and Planning Departments, we completed several feasibility steps that included: •A geologic review • Percolation test (for septic) • Water well probability analysis • Grading analysis • Biologic review • Site survey and topographic mapping • Earthquake zone and archeological clearances With these steps finished, we set up interviews with several local architects that we partner with to find the one that was most appealing to our client. The owners were integral to the process and agreed with our choice of Daniel Silvernail, Architect. He impressed the clients with his gracious nature and open attitude; welcoming feedback and the preferences they had throughout the design process. In addition to being very reasonably priced, Mr. Silvernail quickly gave his attention to the preliminary design plans. After client reviews and approval the full architectural and construction blueprints were finished. We had the complete ready-to-submit-for-permit documents in less than 10 weeks; this included structural engineering, energy calculations and Green Building ratings. We were all impressed by his professionalism throughout the design and building process.

Inspiration for a large modern master gray tile double-sink bathroom remodel in New York with gray cabinets, an undermount sink and a hinged shower door

After sighting the elevations (surveying) and flagging the entire wall, the step- down footings are dug, Then, the vertical / horizontal rebar is set & tied together and finally the forms are built and connected all the way down... next is pouring the concrete into the footings with the pump truck! Notice the black silt fence running along the entire wall area. It's designed to prevent any runoff to the street (erosion control) and preventing any silting into any water sources

This is the master bathroom which didn't exist when we first entered the home, we love mixing rectangles with circles. Also notice the elongated drain in the shower. This is another example of an accessible bathroom, where the shower has no entry lip, making it smooth, modern, and elegant. Luv it
