Some driveways deserve a touch of timeless charm. Villagio™ is Techo-Bloc’s nod to old-world cobblestone roads, delivering vintage elegance with modern durability. Whether installed in a sweeping circular layout or a winding path, its worn texture and tight-fitting joints create a driveway that’s both romantic and resilient.
Made from high-performance concrete, Villagio™ pavers are built to handle vehicle traffic while maintaining their antique look for years. The surface is subtly tumbled for a naturally aged appearance, perfect for heritage-inspired estates or anyone who values tradition woven into function.
This pattern, paired with a circular center detail, creates visual rhythm and flow that guides the eye, the vehicle naturally. With multiple colors available, from dark charcoal to soft greys and browns, Villagio™ complements lush gardens, natural stone, and classic architecture.
This isn’t just a driveway. It’s a historic impression made new.
Let’s revive your landscape with a paver that honors the past while paving the way forward.

THE MAKEOVER: The sunny easterly interior of the residence received a specialty seven-coat faux wall paint-out mixed with differing sheens to subtly reflect natural flooded sunlight. The kitchen was removed and replaced with Lilly white painted custom painted cabinetry with drawer & pot systems, ample pantry pullouts and a coffee/tea station. A very special waterjet cut partridge backsplash was selected for its uniqueness and ocean reflective colors. A Viking 7th gen column refrigerator and freezer (which also act as an air purifier) were used and a Thermador professional gas range & hood system were installed. A waterfall Cambria quartz countertop was installed for practical longevity along with new lighting and trims and an expansion of the passthrough viewing of the den media room. Trims and mouldings were refitted or replaced and the travertine floor repaired and polished. We kept the original wet bar design and refinished the cabinetry, added lighting and a unique coconut hull countertop.
CONTRACTOR's note: Not everyone looks for a deeper connection with their designer & contractor; but we feel genuine care comes from working to please our clients and friendships develop that last far beyond the work. - Matthew Winchenbach

This basement renovation was specifically designed to provide additional and more functional entertaining space. We addressed the previous layout, where the old bar somewhat divided the area, by installing a new bar that seamlessly opens up the floor plan, creating a much more inviting space for gatherings.
We also relocated the main gathering area to the larger open section of the basement. This allowed us to incorporate the big screened TV, making it a focal point for entertainment.
The custom-designed built-in shelving unit serves multiple purposes. It cleverly integrates a necessary support beam into the design while also subtly defining the game table area. Furthermore, this piece offers a stylish wine display and includes concealed shelving for convenient storage.

Placed within an idyllic beach community, this modern family home is filled with both playful and functional spaces. Natural light reflects throughout and oversized openings allow for movement to the outdoor spaces. Custom millwork completes the kitchen with concealed appliances, and creates a space well suited for entertaining. Accents of concrete add strength and architectural context to the spaces. Livable finishes of white oak and quartz are simple and hardworking. High ceilings in the bedroom level allowed for creativity in children’s spaces, and the addition of colour brings in that sense of playfulness. Art pieces reflect the owner’s time spent abroad, and exude their love of life – which is fitting in a place where the only boundaries to roam are the ocean and railways.

A subtly orchestrated gift from mother nature. Walls sheathed in mother of pearl mosaic take on a translucent and enticing appearance. The mesh backed sheets are simple to install and the minimal depth of each tesserae ensures the result appears truly sumptuous with a little shimmer.

The homeowners needed to update their tiny powder room (5' x 5') to have a boutique hotel feel to it, while keeping in the traditional theme with the rest of the home.
The inspiration for this elegant powder room, was the large print damask wall covering that subtly illuminates the tiny space. The wallcovering a modern take on traditional damask, with a larger print and subtle hues of white, grey and beige. A lovely neutral backdrop.
Installing a dark wood cabinet with classic style doors and a marble top vanity was in keeping with the decor in the home. Marble backsplash in a subway pattern was added along with faux marble porcelain tile for easy maintenance and durability.
