J Banks
This project was a complete restoration of a 19th century farmhome or casale in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The design vision was to create an authentic Tuscan home that reflected an overall continental European sophistication. Because the home was to be used for family gatherings and social events, it was imperative for us to incorporate elements of luxury into a livable, welcoming and comfortable space. Our services included all hard materials and finishes; lighting; fabrics; determining mural concepts;˜European vendor sourcing; designing all decorative details and managing the procurement process.

Even the smallest changes can have a BIG impact. This is a major pathway that leads from the home to the beach walkway. It was a safety hazard and an eye sore. Resetting the stone plus adding decorative stone (recycled from another job) removed the trip hazard and beautified the pathway.
