Client – Client Meeting – 2026.03.25

Steel Detailing And Staircase

Jeff has signed off on original design intent for steel detailing — confirmed this morning

Renderings from the living room perspective helped secure approval

Steve has questions for Monday regarding the door downstairs

Peter to complete flange and steel for staircase — estimated one week, material already in hand

Steel sign-off frees up masonry crew to move from hallway to staircase

Fireplace Doors

Peter provided pricing for fireplace doors — to be submitted to Jeff

Jeff is expecting this as an add — previously discussed

Mesh used in fireplace door sample is from Rust-Oleum — same mesh to be used in laundry room cabinetry

Metal mesh sample is currently at the office — Peter can retrieve if needed

Glass Channel And Shower Track

Key question is whether to recess the channel or surface-mount on the circle — Brett to follow up with Fernando

Downstairs bypass is confirmed surface-mounted — no recess required

Tile can proceed on floors before channels are installed, but not on curves and vertical elements where glass makes contact

Channel decision should not affect overall timeline

Inset Panel Finish

Finish for inset panels: brushed nickel preferred — soft, not shiny

If no cost or lead time challenge, match finish to rest of hardware

Stock anodized aluminum acceptable if needed to keep schedule

Structural Beams And Solarium

Beam samples: half received, remaining half arriving by Friday — to be reviewed Wednesday

Previous box beam sample was rejected due to poor color and insufficient texture contrast

New samples expected to be close enough to approve and move forward

Box beam with veneer remains the preferred and safest path for columns, headers, hallway corridor, and mudroom

Staining Douglas fir in place to match white oak was explored but rejected — too labor-intensive, unpredictable color result, and schedule risk

Solarium Structure

Solarium structural beams confirmed: can be sanded and chiseled — structural engineer approved up to 1/16" removal

Design intent: sand smooth and paint to match existing window package (black or matching window color)

Goal is for solarium structure to read as part of the window system, not a separate element

Painter to select color match — client to review and approve

Cabinet Finish Sample

Cabinet sample needed by Wednesday for painter to match finish

Reagan to set out sample — client arriving Wednesday morning

Sample to be cut in half so client retains a control piece

Door and trim color sample currently being produced — to be ready by Wednesday

Tile And Drains

Drains arriving Friday — tile crew to begin packing shower pans and prep work

Tile work on bathroom floors has not yet started — not currently threatening project schedule

Plan remains to install bathroom cabinetry before floor tile — no reason to change this sequence at this time

Wood Floors And Masonry

Wood floor installation timeline being coordinated around labor availability, drywall and paint sequence, and masonry sequence

Wood floor must acclimate on site for approximately two weeks before installation

Stone masonry in hallway and living room has not started — steel sign-off now allows crew to proceed from hallway to staircase efficiently

Drywall And Texture

Currently in second coat of mud — building corners and preparing to sand

Texture expected to begin shortly — good progress anticipated by Wednesday

Stone Slabs

Client hopes to select slabs on Monday — will need fabricator contact and shipping address

Slab yards to be visited: local LA yards

Brett to confirm process with fabricator — owner-provided slabs have been done with this fabricator before without issue

Some slab yards may require a fabricator as the buyer — Brett to confirm and be available Monday as intermediary if needed

Brett to provide fabricator contact and delivery address to client before Monday

Art Storage

Client sent email to Jeff this morning regarding art storage — awaiting response
