The Gherkin- London, England

30 St.Mary Axe, or The Gherkin as it has become known, is an unmistakable landmark proudly claiming it's place on the London skyline. Built on the site of the old Baltic Exchange The Gherkin has modern architecture which is both aesthetically pleasing and forward thinking. In terms of internal space and working environment, this building is truly unique. The Building is one of many masterpieces designed by Norman Foster.

Dreshouse- flooring

The walnuts are in







Dreshouse- details

This project is really coming together, check out some of the details

this reveal on the washroom ceiling should look really cool. the wall on the right will get a full mirror edge to edge and the cove will be lit. The rest is a secret.

The living room ceiling has a couple coves. The goal was to have the two elements on each side appear as they are floating, so the coves will be lit and they will be accented with paint.

This curve is in the bedroom where the ceiling meets the built in wall unit.

At the top of the staircase we did a reveal so the side of the stairs create a continuous element all the way up the stairs and across the ceiling.


A couple of curves in the bulkhead which wrap into the curved wall. I like how the curves meet the hard angles of the built in desk area.
