Our client reached out to Finesse, Inc. looking for a pet sanctuary for their two cats. A design was created to allow the fur-babies to enter and exit without the assistance of their humans. A cat door was placed an the exterior wall and a 30" x 80" door was added so that family can enjoy the beautiful outdoors together. A pet friendly turf, designed especially with paw consideration, was selected and installed. The enclosure was built as a "stand alone" structure and can be easily dismantled and transferred in the event of a move in the future. Rob Kramig, Los Angeles

In the "Fetch" series, Dr. Michelle Rivera's bold, life-sized dogs emerge from a multimedia, monochromatic, abstract background. Their gaze is direct, summoning the viewer to enter their fun world and play. Michelle believes that art should invoke a happy memory or feeling, perhaps even the same happiness that she feels while she is painting. "I paint large images with big strokes very quickly, in order to transfer my energy onto the canvas. Painting is the perfect creative and emotional outlet for me.” Dr. Rivera is a Harvard trained physician, wife, and mother of 3 teenagers who lives, paints, and practices breast imaging in Charlotte, NC.

A patio cover is basically a huge roof. At one end, we can usually tie it into the home’s existing roof. But at the other end, and along the sides, we use posts to support the patio cover. Posts are supported by footings. When we complete our work, you won’t see the footings, but they are critically important because they transfer the structural load into the ground.

Our clients asked us to design a guest house while thinking about the big picture which included a main house, a guest house, and a garage. We were in the middle of the design phase when they were transferred to Hong Kong. The project continued, as we worked long distance to iron out the details. The guest house/pool house then became home base for periodic visits while we worked on the main house and the garage. Eventually, they came home to their compound, and it feels like they never left.

Engineered bamboo flooring is manufactured by bamboo with wood, they are laminated together with cross structure, the main advantage is for radiant heating installation because the thin wood layer can transfer the heat very fast. Strand woven bamboo flooring is solid press of bamboo strips, very high density even over than most of hardwood species. Strand woven has click lock style and it is sealed with wax to prevent the moisture enterring into the flooring.When choosing between engineered bamboo flooring and strand woven bamboo flooring, consider your priorities regarding durability, appearance, and budget.

We altered a master bathroom to create a spa like accessible bathroom. The toilet was relocated from it’s tight space to the right of the vanity, where a linen closet used to be, allowed for proper clearance and bar placement. One of the grab bars folds up when not in use. The former toilet area became a beautiful barrier free shower with an infinity drain along the far wall. The shower has a rain head and a Kohler Artifacts hand shower. The six shower spray heads are hooked to a thermostatic valve controlled by software that can be set via an app or control pad. It was a challenge to fit the multiple shower heads’ plumbing, the thermostatic valve box and it’s electrical in the walls with the backer the multiple grab bars required. We had to coordinate the subcontractors in this area so the backer was not disturbed and all of the systems had the space they needed. The tile in the shower has two accents, a chair rail tile over an ornate accent tile. Three niches in the wall have the quartz countertop material as the shelf. To accommodate the infinity drain, the shower floor has additional backer to support the weight of an occupied wheelchair. We removed the existing shower and installed a SanSpa wheelchair transfer bathtub with air massage. The linen closet hides the shower plumbing access. The molding at the top of the cabinet hides the wifi receiver that is needed for the shower controls. A large ornate mirror hangs at an angle above the vanity so the homeowner can be seated and use the mirror. The stunning statement countertop is Avalanche quartz from Pental. This remodel was a challenge to craft the structure behind the beauty, that allowed a master bath to evolve into a completely wheelchair accessible spa retreat.

This custom hand rail was a design the clients friend (an architect and friend from Spain) showing the resemblance of the "Mediterranean Ocean Waves". It was drawn on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. I transferred that onto a clear vinyl sheet and put it on an overhead projector (like back in school) and put the photo on a sheet of drywall until the size was to code and drew it on the drywall. Then I took it to the Iron Worker, to build it to specks. Pete S. Buzby

What is now the master suite used to be a 1970's living room addition that was built 2' lower than the rest of the house. This split-level design required special considerations for steps and door swings, which added renovation challenges in an already tight area. Dexter worked closely with the owner to find this solution which raised the floor and transferred valuable footage from the entryway into the living spaces. Dexter Builders and Dexter Block worked together to enlarge the addition, which gained enough space for the walk-in closet.
