For a newly constructed South Florida home, we installed 2,500 square feet of wide plank wood flooring throughout both levels, including a custom wood staircase. The stairs featured one-piece treads, avoiding joints and separate nosing, treated with a custom stain to match the pre-finished wood, and accented with white risers. We reinforced the second-floor plywood sub-flooring with an additional layer to support the wide plank wood flooring, which was glued down directly to the plywood. On the first floor, we used a high moisture tolerant adhesive to glue the wood flooring directly to the concrete, ensuring a moisture-free environment. The result is a stunning, durable, and moisture-resistant wood flooring throughout the entire home.

This lyrical home was designed for an artist and her husband in the Northside Overlay District in Wheaton. The owners wanted a home that would fit comfortably into the established neighborhood, while creating its own presence as a new classic. While the large front porch ties the home to its neighbors, subtle details set it apart, such as the granite rubble base, the arched copper entrance, and the delicate curve in the cedar shingle roof. While the exterior echoes its shingle style roots, it is a distilled version of shingle style, a simplified rendering that sets the house firmly in the present day. The interior reinforces its stripped down persona with a long gallery and barrel-vault ceiling leading back to an intersection with the great room ceiling,- yet another barrel vault which defines the main living space in the back of the house. In all the house provides a clean canvas, ready to be filled in with the colorful detail of everyday life.
