Just as the home owners, our project is sui generis. We present to you an intimate portrait and tour of our Appleton Way II project. We will discuss in detail the design process and how the project materialized. We will also be talking about the array of atypical building materials and finish choices for the completion of this residence. From a Hinokifuro (Cypress Soaking Tub), to Muiracatiara Siding (South American Tropical Hardwood), and Clay wall finish throughout. As designers and architects, the exposure to new spaces and different project types naturally enhances our understanding of the physical world. This tour is a wonderful opportunity to critique and exchange ideas in order to grow as amateur or seasoned designers.
