Condo renovation at Horizon View Tower

I installed the framing to accommodate my design and the owner's vision.  In this design, a wall dividing the living room and the kitchen was demolished and the kitchen was doubled in size to accommodate storage space for the homeowner.  Drop ceilings were added to provide the lighting detail.

Cherry cabinets, granite countertops, lighting details, travertine floors and acacia hardwood floors transition together to create a luxurious and durable living space.  This popular configuration allows the homeowner to place seating to accommodate future dinner guests.

Large 18 inch x 18 inch neutral travertine stone tiles were installed over the second layer of waterproofing.  A green roll-on membrane is applied to all the walls and floors to prevent any future water leaks.  A custom made corner mounted travertine soap dish was created and installed.  A border matching of the floor tile was also installed.

All edges of the travertine stone were bull-nosed and polished for a truly custom look.  This can never be created from porcelain or ceramic tile since the color beneath the glaze is always different and unfinished.  A Kohler frameless sliding glass door was installed.

Condo renovation at the Ilikai

An old broken valve flooded the unit from the ceiling above the kitchen.  Must have been a real nightmare for the homeowner considering the water coming from the broken valve was hot!!!  A wall was removed separating the kitchen from the living room.

The kitchen was pushed out slightly to add more storage space and create and open concept living space between the kitchen and living room.  The wall was framed to the right so we could install a new split AC system.

Nude cabinets, granite countertops, updated lighting details and oak engineered flooring was installed to create a perfect retreat hidden in the heart of Waikiki.  We worked hard to make sure that the owner was able to get their condo back quickly within budget.  Renovation time was 6 weeks and the insurance company covered all of it.
