here’s what happens when you start bouncing wacky ideas around at a site meeting…. no telling what can happen! We are have yet to stain the fire pit to eliminate some of the discoloration , but WOW, do I love this layout!!

FYI not stamped or coloured concrete! It’s not always about the stamping you know This is an excellent example of integrating landscaping and concrete where the grass will be planted between the slabs…. you know the stuff that the smart design dudes preach?!! haha

let’s play: follow the magic pour hose!

3! WOOHOO, wonder what’s around the corner!!!

4! It’s Mr Doug!! the happy pumper guy…who else?!

5! hey, I see some feet?

6! Hey everyone, its Derrick!!, he’s real happy to be holding holding a hose

here we’re framing walls to shore up the dirt in preparation for the…(wait for it)…. pool!!!!

Phil is as tough as nails. Look now as he eats a screw while placing a concrete wall form as he’s suspended 30 feet off the ground

these here rocks are going to be used on this here job, making it: purdy.

wow, my boy is playing some creepy shoot em up game with kooky flying serpents that fly out of bodies after you shoot them- then you need to shoot up the serpents..hmm, weird …good thing he’s 19… Oh, yeah… Check out this sick concrete fireplace and steel thingy we made…

I saw a sweet fireplace design in a magazine the other day, and showed it to the cool people from Artista Homes. Nice guys. They’re Italian too hmm go figure. (lol, KIDDING) They loved it, and we made it. We have a few details to work out, but this piece came off very well. This home will also feature a custom wine room, and concrete back splashes. It’s not always about the concrete- it’s about how things relate to each other, and create space. Us professional design type people call this: spatial relationships. Can I get a WOO WOOO?!!!

The vertical work done here is to mimic a poured concrete wall. There is some honey comb, bug holes, cracking and a natural grey colour. The steel surround is in 4 pieces and has custom 1″ square bolts.

yeah.

here’s a few updated pics from the first job of the year! Lookin real purdy and nice like;)
