● The Climbing furniture is made from high-class polished birch plywood. Birchwood is very strong and flexible. The products are tested at a load of 100 kg, but the maximum load for use is 60 kg. We make sure that everything is brought to perfect condition. ● It is absolutely safe for children: for painting, we use only high-quality, sustainable water-based paints, environmentally friendly varnish. And that’s why our products do not cause any allergic reactions, do not emit harmful substances. ● Climbing set like one of the foundations of Montessori teachings helps developing independence. Children independently work on the improvement of their motor skills (explore their body limits in a safe manner) and encourage children's imagination. ● Our furniture is CE and CPC certified due to the major international toy safety standards, including EN71, ASTM F963, 16CFR, and 15USC 1278a DIMENSIONS •━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━• ● Climbing Triangle Standard size: Height: 81 cm / 32 inches Width: 87,5 cm/ 34,4 inches Length steps 80 cm / 31, 5 inches

This homeowner had lived with her dark, crowded kitchen long enough and was ready for a change. Through our design process, we identified several ways to maximize storage, improve functionality, and create a brighter, more open feel. To transform the space, we removed the raised bar top, repaired the rounded wall corners, added roll-out trays and an adjustable lazy Susan for easier access, installed tray dividers, repaired the refrigerator panel, modified toe-kick areas, and refaced all the cabinetry and range hood surround. We also installed beautiful new doors and drawer fronts, updated the countertops, added a stunning tile backsplash, and finished the project with task lighting to brighten every workspace. The result is a kitchen that feels larger, more functional, and much more inviting while allowing the existing wood hood to remain a beautiful focal point. The homeowner's reaction said it all: “Ahhh, I can finally breathe!”

Challenge This 2001 riverfront home was purchased by the owners in 2015 and immediately renovated. Progressive Design Build was hired at that time to remodel the interior, with tentative plans to remodel their outdoor living space as a second phase design/build remodel. True to their word, after completing the interior remodel, this young family turned to Progressive Design Build in 2017 to address known zoning regulations and restrictions in their backyard and build an outdoor living space that was fit for entertaining and everyday use. The homeowners wanted a pool and spa, outdoor living room, kitchen, fireplace and covered patio. They also wanted to stay true to their home’s Old Florida style architecture while also adding a Jamaican influence to the ceiling detail, which held sentimental value to the homeowners who honeymooned in Jamaica. Solution To tackle the known zoning regulations and restrictions in the backyard, the homeowners researched and applied for a variance. With the variance in hand, Progressive Design Build sat down with the homeowners to review several design options. These options included: Option 1) Modifications to the original pool design, changing it to be longer and narrower and comply with an existing drainage easement Option 2) Two different layouts of the outdoor living area Option 3) Two different height elevations and options for the fire pit area Option 4) A proposed breezeway connecting the new area with the existing home After reviewing the options, the homeowners chose the design that placed the pool on the backside of the house and the outdoor living area on the west side of the home (Option 1). It was important to build a patio structure that could sustain a hurricane (a Southwest Florida necessity), and provide substantial sun protection. The new covered area was supported by structural columns and designed as an open-air porch (with no screens) to allow for an unimpeded view of the Caloosahatchee River. The open porch design also made the area feel larger, and the roof extension was built with substantial strength to survive severe weather conditions. The pool and spa were connected to the adjoining patio area, designed to flow seamlessly into the next. The pool deck was designed intentionally in a 3-color blend of concrete brick with freeform edge detail to mimic the natural river setting. Bringing the outdoors inside, the pool and fire pit were slightly elevated to create a small separation of space. Result All of the desirable amenities of a screened porch were built into an open porch, including electrical outlets, a ceiling fan/light kit, TV, audio speakers, and a fireplace. The outdoor living area was finished off with additional storage for cushions, ample lighting, an outdoor dining area, a smoker, a grill, a double-side burner, an under cabinet refrigerator, a major ventilation system, and water supply plumbing that delivers hot and cold water to the sinks. Because the porch is under a roof, we had the option to use classy woods that would give the structure a natural look and feel. We chose a dark cypress ceiling with a gloss finish, replicating the same detail that the homeowners experienced in Jamaica. This created a deep visceral and emotional reaction from the homeowners to their new backyard. The family now spends more time outdoors enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of nature. Their professional lives allow them to take a trip to paradise right in their backyard—stealing moments that reflect on the past, but are also enjoyed in the present.

Blocks the Effects of Light CAVEA is the world’s first glass cellar designed for aging wines. The glass composition is a result of long-term research. Its construction differs from the rest, with multiple filters that are overlapped in a precise order. This combination ensures that the glass will protect the wine from the damaging effects of light. Actually, light initiates many chemical reactions. The light’s shortest wavelengths – UV rays – are mostly responsible for light strike, a condition that produces an unpleasant aroma of boiled cabbage and cooked onions. Natural light and even fluorescent light found in markets and wine shops can spoil the wine’s aroma in less than a week. The light’s longest wavelengths – infrared rays – will heat the wine inside the bottle, causing irreversible damage. CAVEA protects the wine against all types of rays. Recreates the same efficient performances found in natural cellars all within a glass-enclosed wine cellar.
