Design Awards 2010 - Elements

Interior Use of Stone

First Michael Coyne Design - The fireplace was lost in the huge great room, so the entire 20-by-20 wall was done in a dry-stacked look with natural quarry stone. Custom scrap- steel sconces were designed extra large so they wouldn’t get lost.	Second Ronald Roy Wilner
Third Ledoux Interiors

Flooring Installation
