Last weekend designer and photographer, Joshua Colt Fisher, came to visit the project that he had a hand in designing. He had the opportunity to take a helicopter ride for an aerial view of the house and garage, and luckily for us he had his camera with him! Many thanks to Josh for sharing his photos with us – they are beautiful! Be sure to check out Josh’s website for more of his photography and design work: JoCoFi Design + Photography

The holidays are quickly approaching and we are tying up the loose ends here before heading home to spend time with our families. Before we sign off though, we thought we’d take a quick look at the garage with some exterior and interior photos. Read the rest of this entry »

After pouring the concrete for the house, we allowed a week for curing and then we were able to begin putting up the steel framework. Documented below is the two weeks of hard work it took to put up a good portion of the steel!

A little more than three months and we are already nearing the end of our work on the garage. It is looking a lot less bare these days as it has undergone the process of stucco-ing!
We try to take the green/sustainable/eco-friendly route in all aspects of our construction, especially when it comes to using products that are on par with the LEED standards. R-GUARD FastFlash, PermaLath 1000 and Acrocrete are some of our favorite products when it comes to adeptly finishing the exterior of a building successfully.
Check out the process in all it’s detailed glory!

We mean that literally and figuratively because today we poured the concrete for the super-mega-ginormous house that will sit perfectly beside the super-mega-ginormous garage we’ve been working on.
It was once again an early start for everyone, but it was great to able to watch such a big pour. Our crew, Bella Construction, did a beautiful job.
Be sure to view all the beautiful concrete fun! Read the rest of this entry »

We have begun construction on a new project located in the Florida Keys.
Over the course of the last few weeks we’ve constructed one of our largest garages yet! At 30′ x 42′ the garage can store two 40′ RVs, or if need be, up to 6 cars. Above the garage is a loft space with enough room to be used as storage space, an office, or even an apartment.
Have a peek at some photos! Read the rest of this entry »
