C USTOM WOOD FLOORING Installed at 5 FOX HOLE ROAD LADERA RANCH, CA C RAFTSMAN HOUSE BUILT BY

D uring stages of the Architectural Interior Design for materials and details selections across all trades, K ushnir decided that the majority of the 4300 sq. ft. of allocated floor space should be geometrically designed parquet wood flooring.

The following is a list of Technical data adhered to in the Total design of the floor:

1. r ussian rift and quarter sawn White Oak was selected for beauty and durability while remaining consistent with the style.

2. A ll logging materials were specifically milled, cut, and callipered into custom sizes.

3. W ood strips were engineered of solid wood with a life time solid layer, and a solid wood shredded bottom sub base which was glued in to a sandwich and will be able to withstand any climate conditions.

4. A u niversal 3 wide wood strip was used to contain the materials in panels, forming a geometrical tile for a cozy appearance.

5. A n Insured limited lifetime warranty lumber was laboratory tested. The test didnt Exceed 8% of the moisture content which is normally 10% conventional.

6. A border was designed between areas mirroring the wood cover and reflecting the ceiling, giving it a classic look for each area.

7. M ultiple drawings were created to select the best design.

8. B order lengths were custom made for each area. Approx sq. ft. and were glued together to keep joints sized evenly and in the middle of all crossover borders.

9. M osaic f rieze which is the secondary border, was invented to balance the design features and to allow geometrically fabricated modules to be installed without cutting them to fit the pre-existing room size.

10. A t the ENTRY HALL, and the 2nd FLOOR GALLERY, the center of the canned light was calculated to reflect on the center of the mosaic composition.

11. G lued wooden tiles were constructed in a variety of different sizes as large as possible. The largest glued panel was 48 x 54.

12. T reads, risers and elevator floor were built using the same techniques to keep the consistency of the project.

13. Many Design options were kept within budgetary considerations.

14. G rooves were made around tile perimeters to be used for spline or biscuits insuring easy installation and surface levelling control.

15. c ost saving methods were developed to control the waste of materials, production steps, and installation process.

16. E ach area of composition was manufactured and assembled at the factory floor in r ussia. It was disassembled, marked and inventory labelled before delivery to the job site.

K ushnir States: It Was An Honor To Fulfill The Traditional Works Of The Masters Such As W illiam M orris, G ustav S tickley, F rank L loyd W right And Others. It Was Also An Honor To Add To Their True Vision, Success In Experimental Design, And Be Able To Integrate Such Industrialism Of Factories And Craftsmanship. A nd K ushnir Adds, Extraordinarily, This Creates A Priceless Consideration In The Area Of Design, Craftsmanship And Engineer Technology That Leads To The Future Fulfillment Of The American Craftsman Home.
