Here we are at the end of our tour. The pool and grounds took a particularly hard beating from a hurricane several years ago. Replanting, combined with natural regrowth, has brought the forest back to it’s lush grandeur. The pool area took a lot more hands-on work. The same coral tile that was used throughout [...]

The courtyard provided us with a great opportunity to expand the house with exterior rooms. In the center of the courtyard the roof was opened up to allow for the greatest amount of light possible.

Here we are inside the living room. The interior ceilings were all dark mahogany. While the wood itself was beautiful the dark ceilings closed in the rooms. The interior floors in all the rooms were an uninteresting worn out ceramic tile. We had them all removed and replaced with polished marble. The ceilings were painted [...]

We recently finished up a wonderful project in St. Thomas and are excited to share it with you. This was a labor of love for the home owner. We were restoring the home his family built in 1960 which had fallen into decay over the decades. The first order of business was to determine if [...]
