Dark, striking, modern. This dark floor with white wire-brush is sure to make an impact. The Modin Rigid luxury vinyl plank flooring collection is the new standard in resilient flooring. Modin Rigid offers true embossed-in-register texture, creating a surface that is convincing to the eye and to the touch; a low sheen level to ensure a natural look that wears well over time; four-sided enhanced bevels to more accurately emulate the look of real wood floors; wider and longer waterproof planks; an industry-leading wear layer; and a pre-attached underlayment.

Concrete block lined corridor connects spaces around the secluded and central courtyard

Eichler in Marinwood - In conjunction to the porous programmatic kitchen block as a connective element, the walls along the main corridor add to the sense of bringing outside in. The fin wall adjacent to the entry has been detailed to have the siding slip past the glass, while the living, kitchen and dining room are all connected by a walnut veneer feature wall running the length of the house. This wall also echoes the lush surroundings of lucas valley as well as the original mahogany plywood panels used within eichlers. photo: scott hargis

The Hallway of this expansive urban villa sets the tone of the interiors and employs materials that are used throughout the project. A dark grey concrete floor contrasts the overall white interiors focusing on the large garden at the back of the property, also visible through the open treads of the staircase. Gino Safratti's chandelier gives the interior a sense of grandeur and timeless elegance.
