You imagined more than just a room; you envisioned a hub, a place where culinary creativity and family gatherings intertwine seamlessly.

We recently completed a truly exceptional pool project in Boca Raton, Florida, designed to complement a multimillion-dollar waterfront home. The client's vision was to create a large, visually stunning pool that would frame their backyard while embodying the relaxed yet sophisticated vibe of South Florida living. They also prioritized convenience and ease of maintenance. Epic Watershapes delivered on all fronts.
One of the primary challenges was constructing a pool of this size so close to the water while ensuring a flawless installation of the surrounding artificial turf. Our team's expertise in waterfront construction and meticulous attention to detail resulted in a seamless integration of the pool, turf, and surrounding landscape. The raised spa, fully tiled for a luxurious feel, adds another dimension of relaxation and visual interest.
The pool itself is a masterpiece, offering ample space for swimming and entertaining. The infinity edge creates a dramatic focal point, seamlessly blending the pool with the tranquil waterfront views. Sundecks with bubblers provide a fun and refreshing way to cool off, while the expansive patio, designed on multiple levels, offers plenty of space for lounging and dining. The use of artificial turf not only adds a vibrant green touch but also ensures low maintenance, a key request from the client. Piling was essential to ensure the structural integrity of the pool given its proximity to the water.
This project perfectly captures Epic Watershapes' ability to create custom outdoor spaces that are both luxurious and practical. From the grand scale of the pool to the thoughtful selection of materials and features, every element of this Boca Raton project reflects our commitment to excellence.

Design Concept:
Our vision was to create a kitchen that feels both classic and contemporary.

This was achieved through careful selection of materials and finishes that speak to both aesthetics, ensuring that every detail contributes to the overall vision of a modern traditional kitchen.
Outcome:
The result is a breathtaking kitchen that stands as the heart of the home, offering a perfect blend of sophistication, warmth, and functionality.

2011 NATIONAL NARI COTY SOUTHEAST REGIONAL AWARD
This family of four living in a 1987 brick colonial had to make dramatic changes now that their 85 years old grandmother was about to move in. They needed a mother-in-law suite complete with bathroom facilities to meet her needs. Because they were remodeling anyway, they decided to overhaul the rest of the home to create the house they have always dreamed about, including a grand two-story entry.
Starting in the basement, the homeowner added a home theatre room, added storage and a larger bathroom. Hard wood floors and a new stairway were also added.
The main level boasts the new two-story entry foyer. To its left is the mother-in-law suite with a large front bay window and its own walk-in closet and private bath. The bath is furnished with a walk-in jetted tub and aging-in-place accessories. Other first floor highlights include a music room and gourmet kitchen.
Kitchen amenities the client always wanted were added, including a large center island, extended cabinets, double layered crown molding, exotic granite top and wide board mahogany floors throughout entire first floor.
The entire second floor and stairs going up were reconfigured too. The master bedroom is larger with a new tray ceiling and recess lights. The new walk- in closet is now adjacent to the master bath instead of being across the room. The master bathroom was totally gutted and re-positioned. It includes an enlarged shower with bench and frameless shower door, toilet hidden behind a closet and new whirlpool surround with beautiful travertine tile and long double vanity space.
This new renovation is truly a testament to the possibilities of aging-in-place remodeling strategies. Three generations are now living comfortably in this home.

With concealed 6-way adjustable hinges, the doors open smoothly and close gently, adding to the tranquility of the space. And with the interior protected by a conversion varnish topcoat, cleaning becomes a breeze, eliminating the need for shelf paper and ensuring a durable, easy-to-maintain surface for years to come.
