Floors, Floors, Floors

The office will be finished with several types of flooring. The front entrance is 12x24 tile laid in a brick pattern. The front desk is surrounded with a circle of maple hardwood on the diagonal.

The staff bathroom and mechanical room have solid serface material. The remainder of the office will be carpet.

The Lobby is Coming Together

The front windows will be finished with a knee wall that borders the entire interior of the lobby. We will use this wall for additional seating space and display space. The structure for the knee wall is in place and ready to be finished.

Tile has been laid in the lobby entrance, and the lining paper is in place for the hard wood floor surrounding the front desk. This all means that we are very close to opening the doors for business!

We're Making Things Pretty

The walls are painted with a neutral two tone concept. The walls will all have a chair rail of natural maple to divide the two colors. The curved wall behind the front desk is slightly darker than the top color.

Our front desk is up and almost finished. The top of the front desk will be stone slabs to match the limestone on the front of the building.

Dropped Ceilings

The exam and lab rooms will feature dropped ceilings. The grid for the new ceilings is installed, and a few of the tiles are in place. All of the lights need to be wired in place, so the remaining tiles will be installed closer to completion.

Deck Staircase

The staircase for the back deck is started. Two sets of stairs with a landing in the middle will create a grand entrance to the second floor. We chose to use wood, as it would have most likely been used in 1905. During our construction process, we have tried to implement materials and design elements to be "period" correct. Although, the interior has received a major contemporary upgrade, the exterior is still fairly similar to the original design.

Let's Rock!

For the first time in this project, we are moving through a stage faster than expected. The sheetrock has already been hung, and the finishing crew started today. They asked if someone could be at the building on a Saturday to open the building, which means we will be another day ahead of schedule. We will be painting and putting down flooring before we know it. Get ready to book your appointments ... we will be open for business soon!

The Insulation Is In

The interior insulation is complete! We used UltraTouch insulation, which is made from recycled cotton products. The project was a little dusty, but far more pleasant than working with fiberglass insulation. The UltraTouch insulation has a very high rating for sound absorption and thermal performance. The insulation does not contain any chemicals, which makes it safe for us and the environment.

Now we wait for sheetrock ...
