2018 HNA Awards Winner - Vintage Installation
Contractor: Stowe Contracting
Producer(s): Calstone & Pacific Interlock
Designer: Walt Combs
In 2004 paving stones were still a young industry. Cobblestones were the main stay and a three color mix was cutting edge. Customers were not adventuresome enough to try something like this so one of the owners of the company did this at his house. The industry has come a long way. This installation certainly shows the resilience and longevity of paving stones. The kids that lived here now have kids. Multiple birthdays, anniversaries, and celebrations have taken place here with virtually no degradation of the installation. The pizza oven was added four years ago and fits in seamlessly. Only wish the patio furniture lasted as well. that is the third generation since the patio was installed.

The neutral color palette in this kitchen project really helps one feel at home. The multi-level island creates a space with multiple functions that allows the chef in the family to be very comfortable with all the counter space!
