Refined Space Constructions’ Post

In today's world of modern design and construction, new builds can sometimes fall short in both design and craftsmanship. Often, the trouble arises from overlooking crucial design details, such as the placement of floor waste gullies in bathrooms. When these gullies are positioned at the highest point of the floor, they fail to perform their job effectively. This results in overflowing water spilling into other areas, like hallways, causing additional headaches. It's not just about drainage- it's about the fundamental purpose of having a floor drain. Reporting these oversights is essential to ensure that your new build meets the quality and safety standards you expect. 🔗 www.redlbp.co.nz ☎ 0800 113 191 📧 info@redinspect.co.nz

(Don’t) Shake That! 🪜 As the builders prepare to climb to the top of the chimney to measure and install the siding, they give the ladder a few shakes to secure it in place. I watch with awe and fascination as the builder begins his ascent. While I might feel a bit uneasy at the sight of such heights, the builder is calm and composed. His confidence is evident, honed by countless hours of practice and the steady support of another builder holding the ladder securely at the base. Outside, the siding goes up, while inside, the painters work their magic. It’s a reminder that a home renovation truly takes teamwork from all angles…pun fully intended! #EveryDayTheirShuffling #PartyRock #ClapClap #Ladder Design @ninashomedesign GC @bernardinibuilders . . #ninashomedesign #instascrollstoppingdesign #architexture4life #trendsettingismyjam #westchesterny #greenwichct #connecticutliving #newyorkfamily #natureinspireddesign #natureinspiredhome #multigenerationalhome #residentialinteriordesign #inspotoyourhome #renovationspecialists #newbuildhomes #elledecor #interiorarchitecture #designwithpurpose #luxuryinteriordesign #livableluxury #prettylittleinteriors #connecticuthome #newyorkinteriordesigner #newbuilds #connecticutinteriordesign #westchesternymoms

Drywalls - aka plasterboards or gypsum boards - are a building and renovation material that are gaining popularity when it comes to interior design and architectural solutions. Drywalling is a simple alternative for non-load-bearing interior walls and ceilings - be that in reconfiguring homes or creating partitions in office spaces. The benefits of drywall solutions and accessories include the following: cost-effective, durable, easily available, quick to install, and easy to cut. Drywalls are also used to wrap cement columns and conceal steel beams as a commercial building solution. Being fire-resistant, drywalling adds an important safety consideration for any homeowner. It can also be painted multiple times, giving you the design flexibility to change the look and feel of a room quickly and easily. #Officerenovations #commercialconstruction #officemaitenancesolutions #constructioncompanies

Some important questions to consider when setting your budget for your kitchen remodel: • Are you planning to stay in your current home for the foreseeable future, or are you remodeling to increase resale value? • Do you have any specific high-end features or materials you want to include, such as custom cabinetry? • Will there be any substantial structural changes, like wall relocations or plumbing adjustments? . . .

Is sound transfer in your home stressing you out? Horizon's Tim Agar talks with Spruce Magazine about how to design and build a quieter, more peaceful home. ➡ Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/grzRUTaY Not all sound is bad, but the consequences of negative sound transfer can be serious. Luckily, there are a number of architectural solutions out there to minimize sound and bring a sense of peace to a home. It starts with the walls and ceiling, which have the ability to control the acoustics in individual rooms. The materials used here are key. Reflective surfaces like windows and hardwood floors are great at projecting sound. Substituting in concrete floors or adding design elements like carpets and draperies can go along way in minimizing that sound. When installing appliances and mechanical systems, it helps to have a strategy with acoustics in mind. Placing these systems away from bedrooms and windows is a great start, and adding acoustical lining to duct chambers will make a noticeable difference. ➡ Check out the full article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/grzRUTaY #acoustics #homeacoustics #customhome #custombuilt #architecture #yyj

Designing is not just decorating. In fact decorating is the cherry on top of a comprehensive design project: The Progress on site for the Little Sweet Calbung. This darling double brick, apart from a bathroom update and small addition out the back, hadn’t been touched in decades. The original owners still lit the fires at night to stay warm. We’ve worked through the design of the new interior layout, one that will not change the original intent of the California Bungalow ethos, and now we are working through the fundamentals of a solid foundation on which to restore her. Fundamentals for a solid base to build the new interiors include addressing moisture and water ingress with tanking and drainage upgrades, restumping, removing damaged floors and joists, insulation, an electrical & lighting plan to enable re-wiring and three phase upgrade and drawings for new plumbing. We’ve also worked through options for hydronic heating; underfloor vs panels and have established a panel layout. Soon we will start reframing walls and then linings begin.. and rough in.. stay tuned! #interiordesign #interiordesignprojectmanagement #antipodejones

You might think the work interior designers do is just play with color and decor but it can be quite complex and doesn't necessarily start out pretty. Sometimes we start with a blank slate but often times we're renovating old and poorly or awkwardly constructed spaces. And if we're retiling and moving plumbing, electrical and appliances, it can be quite messy—see for yourself in this sneak peak of an apartment demo! There's a lot of thought that goes into making spaces functional, safe, and beautiful. Every space has a story. Let us design yours. #tobedesigngroup #behindthescenes #demo #demolition #remodel #renovation #interiordesign

Opening up a basement staircase wall does more than add design interest (though it certainly does that, too!) Eliminating one or both walls enclosing the stairs make the area feel spacious and light—more like a natural extension of your existing home and less like a dark tunnel. #basementfinish #homeremodel #openhandrail #coloradobasements
