PROBLEMS:

• Client desired a house filled with color, patterns, exuberance, and one-of-a-kind character.
• Client wanted memorable, expressive architecture within an ordinary budget.
• Due to remote location, construction techniques and materials had to be everyday
  and conventional.
• Client desired accessible main floor.

SOLUTIONS:

• I made liberal use of plastic laminate, paint, economy ceramic tile and vinyl tile.
• Architecture of the stairwell has nooks, crannies, built-ns, overlooks, skylights, wrought iron railings and views.
• The rest of the house relies on lively finishes for its expression.
• Main floor is handicapped accessible.
