000829.09.02.15 JUST ANOTHER CASE OF WINDOW ENVY. Visit allweatherwindows.com to find out why we stand out from the crowd, and don't be surprised if your home or job site attracts more attention. 000829 WFPPH AWW.indd 1 2/9/2015 3:04:58 PM Over in Bridgwater lakes, at 100 lake Bend rd., there's seri- ous drama in a staircase that incorporates glass and saw-tooth stainless steel stringers along the sides. While it's open-concept, partial walls create separation be- tween spaces without interfering with the flow of natural light throughout the home. Marble floors and a 9.5-foot island with a quartz countertop are highlights, but one of the most striking materials is an old-school hallmark of a Maric home — wood, and plenty of it. That kitchen island is attached to a 6.5- foot waterfall walnut table and the floor is solid walnut, too. Maric says the family-owned company usually uses maple, and occa- sionally oak, but whatever the species, you can't have too much of it. "you can use it in any capacity. If you really clean it up and do a nice dressed sharp edge you can make it really, really modern, but it always still has this kind of underlying warmth to it because it's a natural mate- rial — it's completely unadorned and not man-made," he says. "glass we have to fabricate, steel you have to fabricate, but wood is wood and (in) any home, the more wood you can put in there, the better." 100 lake bend road – Maric homes 24 Parade of Homes FALL 2015 it's ALL MAteriAL – Cont'd from page 22
