Construction Progress
A large excavation kept the crew busy for the first few days of this project. Concrete forms were made for the front pillars and feature walls.
The existing staircase tile was chiseled off and the concrete was cleaned for the application of new stone facing. A precast concrete block system was used to build the front pillars and a double sided block system for the walls.
The large scale property enabled our team to load tri-axel trucks directly on the driveway which kept the project running smoothly and with efficiency.
After constructing the pool, we were able set all the heights for the surrounding stone work as well as the loggia extension. Large excavators were used for further digging.
Extensive footings were excavated for support of the loggia / 4 season room addition. This footing would support the concrete slab that would be the base for the room.
The engineered footing and concrete slab was poured with rebar spaced according to the specifications. A heating system was laid into the flooring to keep the space warm in the winter months.
Stairs were built between two planter boxes that would flank the ends of the grand entrance. They were faced with stone to match the house.
Construction of the roof began, which had an insulated ceiling. We broke into the house and created a double sided fire place that could be seen on both sides.
The cabana design was constructed, and the kitchen installed beside to create an outdoor entertainment area. The stone patter was carried throughout the design in the front, sides and back yard. Black stripe on top with beige tones in the center.
Bi-folding glass doors were installed on the loggia to keep the space warm in the winter, but enable the space to be fully open in the spring and summer months.
