Europlanters Ltd80 Charlotte Street is a major mixed-use development in the heart of London’s Fitzrovia redeveloped by Overbury Plc. This regenerated building occupies an urban block with the adjacent Asta House, delivering over 320,000ft₂ of workspace, 55 new apartments, a café, a restaurant and the new Poets Park on Chitty Street.
The main block was originally built in the 1960’s as the Post Office headquarters with the new building now three floors higher than the original. This takes the building from 7 to 10 storeys high and now links the floors to make one building, now 90m square. The architecture imaginatively combines the existing fabric of the building with new-build elements and is characterised by the various facade treatments and terraces.
The new levels are set back to reduce the size, providing the terraces with unrivalled views over Fitzrovia, the nearby BT Tower, and out towards the City and the river.
Europlanters worked closely with MA design and Barton Willmore Landscape Architects to design and build more than 300 large planters, which created the planting beds and 45m of seating for the new terraces.
The intregrated benches were precisely cut to curve at the corners and were made from sapele timber.
The GRP planters and benches were finished to compliment the building exterior and the timber decking.
Each of the planting beds were then superbly planted up by Oasis Plants.
The ground floor has been designed to act as more than a commercial reception, offering space for tenants to use for events and social activities.
An island café-bar caters for both tenants and the public, while tenants and guests can also take a dedicated lift to the roof terrace, where a second bar benefits from stunning views across North London and the City.

E. F. San JuanGulf-Front Grandeur
Private Residence / Alys Beach, Florida
Architect: Khoury & Vogt Architects
Builder: Hufham Farris Construction

This one-of-a-kind Gulf-front residence in the New Urbanism community of Alys Beach, Florida, is truly a stunning piece of architecture matched only by its views. E. F. San Juan worked with the Alys Beach Town Planners at Khoury & Vogt Architects and the building team at Hufham Farris Construction on this challenging and fulfilling project.
We supplied character white oak interior boxed beams and stair parts. We also furnished all of the interior trim and paneling. The exterior products we created include ipe shutters, gates, fascia and soffit, handrails, and newels (balcony), ceilings, and wall paneling, as well as custom columns and arched cased openings on the balconies. In addition, we worked with our trusted partners at Loewen to provide windows and Loewen LiftSlide doors.
Challenges:
This was the homeowners’ third residence in the area for which we supplied products, and it was indeed a unique challenge. The client wanted as much of the exterior as possible to be weathered wood. This included the shutters, gates, fascia, soffit, handrails, balcony newels, massive columns, and arched openings mentioned above. The home’s Gulf-front location makes rot and weather damage genuine threats. Knowing that this home was to be built to last through the ages, we needed to select a wood species that was up for the task. It needed to not only look beautiful but also stand up to those elements over time.
Solution:
The E. F. San Juan team and the talented architects at KVA settled upon ipe (pronounced “eepay”) for this project. It is one of the only woods that will sink when placed in water (you would not want to make a boat out of ipe!). This species is also commonly known as ironwood because it is so dense, making it virtually rot-resistant, and therefore an excellent choice for the substantial pieces of millwork needed for this project.
However, ipe comes with its own challenges; its weight and density make it difficult to put through machines and glue. These factors also come into play for hinging when using ipe for a gate or door, which we did here. We used innovative joining methods to ensure that the gates and shutters had secondary and tertiary means of support with regard to the joinery. We believe the results speak for themselves!

Metropolis Drafting and Construction IncUpdating of this Venice Beach bungalow home was a real treat. Timing was everything here since it was supposed to go on the market in 30day. (It took us 35days in total for a complete remodel).
The corner lot has a great front "beach bum" deck that was completely refinished and fenced for semi-private feel.
The entire house received a good refreshing paint including a new accent wall in the living room.
The kitchen was completely redo in a Modern vibe meets classical farmhouse with the labyrinth backsplash and reclaimed wood floating shelves.
Notice also the rugged concrete look quartz countertop.
A small new powder room was created from an old closet space, funky street art walls tiles and the gold fixtures with a blue vanity once again are a perfect example of modern meets farmhouse.
