More Exciting Construction Shots
Posted in Design Projects, tagged awning, process, roof, steel on November 6, 2015| 1 Comment »
The first three shots here are showing the site work for a new little ceramic studio. We are saving that little citrus tree and the foundation will angle around it. This will create an interesting interior space with a cozy sitting area on one end and a wider studio area at the other. The lot slopes down to the right and we are adding a retaining wall along the property line to level the lot. The concrete walls will be board-formed and hopefully look very nice.

This is John McBride, hard at work. Oscar and Jose behind working on the excavation for the footing.

Here you see a new 3/16″ thick steel awning recently installed. Gonzalvo is installing the lag screws. There will be another similar awning over the doors above. I tried to talk the owner into painting them bright blue or fireball orange to match their front door, but she chose a more conservative and very classy grey brown. Kind of like wrought iron.

More Snapshots of a Recent Whimsical Kitchen Project

A key part of the design was adding this door from the kitchen to the back part of the house (and future back deck)
As you can see below, this also gave the bedroom a better connection to the bathroom and more privacy.
These curvy shelves and cherry peninsula were just icing on the cake.
The homeowner is a bicycle enthusiast (and an artist)
Very cool,.
