The distinguishing trait of the I Naturali series is soil. A substance which on the one hand recalls all things primordial and on the other the possibility of being plied. As a result, the slab made from the ceramic lends unique value to the settings it clads.

Originally, the exterior of the Napa ranch residence was a standard knocked down stucco finish. We covered over the entire exterior of the house with a natural plaster product that has been made in Italy for centuries, known as Rialto or Vero. This product is a combination of slaked lime mixed with 60% reconstituted crushed marble dust. Quarried from the legendary Carrara marble mines. The finish itself is a vertically combed striated texture embedded into the plaster. While it cures, a transparent group of patinas are applied to the stone-like plaster substance to create a look of an aged villa.

Plantings also included various deciduous shrubs and several Norway Spruce. Behind the upper waterfall is a colorful Japanese Maple. Other plants include Japanese Blood Grass, Sedum Autumn Joy, Hosta Sum and Substance, and one of the water plants is Yellow Flag Iris. www.deckandpatio.com

With a child and dog, it was not practical for the couple to use wooden furniture. But that did not mean they had to give up on stylish, warm pieces. Clifton opted for laminate covering from English brand Lamitak for all storage units, such as this grey one in the living room. Not only is the covering water resistant, it is also durable. Hence the couple need not worry about the dog scratching the surface or their son throwing toys at it. While many might balk at the choice of laminate coverings, often associated with sacrificing style for substance, Lamitak caters to design-conscious parents with its fabric-like, matt textures. The brand is also certified for its low emissions and low toxicity. The minimalist design of the living room is complemented by B&O sound systems.

I was so happy to discover CRAFT. The first 10 seconds I spent examining CRAFT’s wood products at the 2015 IDS Show in Vancouver was all it took for me to say aha –here is something different; this is it. For Allan, some of the highlights include the fact that the core of the flooring made of solid pieces of Canadian Spruce, not plywood. How the floor stands up over time has everything to do with its construction. Allan distinguishes between floors that have the look but do not have the substance behind them. The choice of long lengths, widths and thickness of the wear layer is very important to him. Allan also appreciates the variety of CRAFT wood species, and the very natural looking finishes.
