After 15 years of salt air the untreated wood deck was ready to fall off of the house... Now the Gex's have a brand new composite deck that will stand up to the salt air and require no more maintenance than a spray with the garden hose once a year.

We began by completely demolishing the old deck and rebuilding it from the ground up. The new deck not only doubled in size but also enhanced the home’s overall appeal. Special planning was required, as the home is located on an island, but we anticipated these challenges and worked through them smoothly.

I built this on my property for my aging father who has some health issues. Handicap accessibility was a factor in design. His dream has always been to try retire to a cabin in the woods. This is what he got. It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath with a great room. It is 600 sqft of AC space. The footprint is 40' x 26' overall. The site was the former home of our pig pen. I only had to take 1 tree to make this work and I planted 3 in its place. The axis is set from root ball to root ball. The rear center is aligned with mean sunset and is visible across a wetland. The goal was to make the home feel like it was floating in the palms. The geometry had to simple and I didn't want it feeling heavy on the land so I cantilevered the structure beyond exposed foundation walls. My barn is nearby and it features old 1950's "S" corrugated metal panel walls. I used the same panel profile for my siding. I ran it vertical to match the barn, but also to balance the length of the structure and stretch the high point into the canopy, visually. The wood is all Southern Yellow Pine. This material came from clearing at the Babcock Ranch Development site. I ran it through the structure, end to end and horizontally, to create a seamless feel and to stretch the space. It worked. It feels MUCH bigger than it is. I milled the material to specific sizes in specific areas to create precise alignments. Floor starters align with base. Wall tops adjoin ceiling starters to create the illusion of a seamless board. All light fixtures, HVAC supports, cabinets, switches, outlets, are set specifically to wood joints. The front and rear porch wood has three different milling profiles so the hypotenuse on the ceilings, align with the walls, and yield an aligned deck board below. Yes, I over did it. It is spectacular in its detailing. That's the benefit of small spaces. Concrete counters and IKEA cabinets round out the conversation. For those who cannot live tiny, I offer the Tiny-ish House.

Wooden Classicism Nesbitt House – Seaside, Florida Architect: Robert A. M. Stern Builder: O.B. Laurent Construction E. F. San Juan produced all of the interior and exterior millwork for this elegantly designed residence in the influential New Urban town of Seaside, Florida. Challenges: The beachfront residence required adherence to the area’s strict building code requirements, creating a unique profile for the compact layout of each room. Each room was also designed with all-wood walls and ceilings, which meant there was a lot of custom millwork! Solution: Unlike many homes where the same molding and paneling profiles are repeated throughout each room, this home featured a unique profile for each space. The effort was laborious—our team at E. F. San Juan created tools for each of these specific jobs. “The project required over four hundred man-hours of knife-grinding just to produce the tools,” says Edward San Juan. “Organization and scheduling were critical in this project because so many parts were required to complete each room.” The long hours and hard work allowed us to take the compacted plan and create the feel of an open, airy American beach house with the influence of 1930s Swedish classicism. The ceiling and walls in each room are paneled, giving them an elongated look to open up the space. The enticing, simplified wooden classicism style seamlessly complements the sweeping vistas and surrounding natural beauty along the Gulf of Mexico. --- Photography by Steven Mangum – STM Photography

The main Projects were Kitchen & Master Bathroom remodeling required architectural and engineering plans. During the kitchen remodeling, we definitely upgraded all the plumbing and electrical up to date, as well as new tile flooring. We prepared and made the cabinets requested by the client's preference. As for the master bathroom, we upgraded all the plumbing and electrical up to date and demo the original bathtub, and made a new frame for a walk-in shower with tile walls.

We uncovered a little space behind a wall and decided that no space would be left without a job! Cozy homes require every last bit of space utilized to it's fullest and that exactly what we did here!

Part of the original living room provided the new space required for the small dining room. Hung with an elaborately carved gold mirror to visually enlarge the area, and lit by a 1930s glass chandelier (not visible here), this cozy area is perfect for enjoying dinners 'a casa'! Stairs lead up to the master bedroom and the altana. The heavy gray velvet drapes were purchased from Restoration Hardware and lined in a Brunschwig & Fils fabric by the owners.

Town centre shopping centre undergoes transformation. A £50million revamp of Stevenage Town Centre including a new shopping area is now underway. Access roads to the shopping centre at Westgate required modernising to create a safe and secure environment but with easy access to the facilities and delivery areas. Rather than use traditional lock-up gates the designers specified the use of our bespoke perforated sheets. The slotted mesh provided an attractive yet secure frontage to the utility space.

Up front, reclaiming a lawn has significant costs involving the installation and cultivation of the plants as they establish themselves. But, over time, the ecosystem created by the plants begins to take care of itself. Less maintenance, less water and fewer chemicals – in fact none at all – will be required for the space to flourish.
