The kitchen renovation is well underway. We tore down the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room. The drywall surfaces have been patched. All of the CABICO cabinets have been delivered and are quickly and carefully being installed. We are also installing new roof framing and membrane.
The steel framing and decking is in place. One can clearly understand the volume of the house and its interior and exterior spaces. The views from the covered terraces are outstanding. The house seems to welcome Tampa Bay under its wing.
The glass bridge is in place along with teh interior glass rail. The exterior space only requires the pool finish and the rail. All the rails should be installed next week.
All of the concrete formwork for the uppermost concrete beams was stripped. The house now has a remarkable presence on the street. One can clearly appreciate the double cantilever of the roof over the entry stair. The deep concrete shadowbox on the side elevation adds interest to the volume of the house from both the street and the water.
Three weeks later, the uppermost tie beams delineate the outline of the house. It is now possible to better differentiate the spaces that will serve as terraces from the conditioned enclosure.
