START WITH ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS...

 

Stone Walk the line between rugged and refined with dry-stack stone, which can be applied to almost any vertical surface, from an accent wall to a fireplace surround.

 

 

 

 

 

 


Stainless Steel For a touch of polish, inset a panel in a stone wall, or try stainless-steel countertops or backsplash tile.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reclaimed Wood This sustainable material adds warmth and character to floors, ceilings and just about every surface in between.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Concrete There are countless applications for this industrial material, from flooring to walls to countertops. Stain it any color you like to warm up the look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Weathering Steel When allowed to rust and weather, this material takes on the warm colors and rich character of wood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rammed Earth This structural wall system offers superior thermal
and acoustic properties—and beautiful strata of color and texture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...THEN ADD FURNISHINGS
