Concrete floor
I look forward to finding creative solutions when I'm presented with a 'must have' during construction. My client found some leaf shapes cut from slate tile. I set them in the concrete floor as if blown in by the wind.
A concrete floor with radiant heating is finished in natural tones acid wash. Laser cut leaves from slate, embedded in the floor, seem 'blown in' through the front door. A raised platform behind shoji screens offer japanese style seating at a 'sunken' table.
