Eastshore & More--Exclusive Insight into Luxury Home Trends From South Florida?s Premier Architectural Firm
Coral Gables, FL (ContentDesk) September 7, 2005 -- Coral Gables architecture and design firm, Eastshore Architects, offers insight into lavish living with these tips and trends on luxury home construction. Known for their elite clientele, which includes professional sports figures, politicians, celebrities and captains of industry, Eastshore Architects have an exclusive perspective when it comes to living large. President Luis Jauregui shares his knowledge on these emerging trends. Biggest Splurges: We find that women are splurging on the kitchens and bathrooms. Eastshore has created extensive bathrooms with lounging areas, open closets and even small beverage refrigerators.
Men are splurging on media rooms complete with built in storage and wiring for plasma televisions, satellite radio, iPod docking stations and hook-ups and more. Average Square Footage:
In South Florida, the average size of our projects is between 6,000 ? 7,500 square feet, with a budget of $250-$300 per square foot and approximately 2-2.5 years to design, develop, permit and construct the home. Smart Homes ? With technology as it is today, 85% of clients are asking for structured wiring providing them with high-speed Internet access, networking capabilities, integrated lighting systems and distributed dvd/music systems that can send entertainment to every room in the house. Tear Down vs. Renovate:
Since South Florida's real estate prices have boomed over the last few years, people are finding that it is easier and cost-appropriate to tear down and start over.
The biggest area of growth is Key Biscayne.Kitchens:
Regionally and nationally, we see a trend for opening and expanding the kitchen space into a central station for the home with furniture and living areas combined. Clients want their home to function as both a formal and informal space to entertain. Therefore, we not only design a formal dining space to accommodate that request, we open the kitchen and family room to be one central, livable space. Specialty Rooms:
Eastshore has found that most clients are asking for an over the top media room. We work with the client to outfit the space into a mini-cinema.
Additional requests have been for wine rooms and even a recording studio.Pools:
In South Florida, a pool is a must. We have noticed a trend to tile the surface of the pool with colored tile. Grey, navy blue and black are the most popular. Fashion Colored Appliances: We help our clients select appliance packages that fit their needs and goals. We find that people are choosing more traditional Viking or Wolf stoves and stainless steel Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers.
Small, replaceable appliances, like blenders and toasters are featured more with color.
We have some clients that have chosen glass front refrigerators but advise that unless you are obsessive about neatness, there might be a better option available. Eastshore is a full service company offering complete architectural, engineering and interior design services. The firm also provides land planning, landscape design, lighting & sound design and construction supervision with offerings structured to cater to each client's distinctive needs.
Eastshore is able to tailor their services from a minimum set of construction documents to a complete set of plans and specifications, defining every aspect of a project down to the slightest detail.

Homework Help for the Attention Deficit Child
Does the homework battle so typical with your hyperactive or A.D.D. child have you at the end of your rope? Relax. We have some tried-and-try ADHD information that should get your A.D.D. child on the right homework path.The hyperactive or A.D.D. child especially needs consistency, a work place free of distractions, solid encouragement and praise - along with established consequences if the positive homework tips fail.
Establish a Set Homework Routine:
Because the A.D.D. child functions best in a consistent environment, homework should be done in the same place, at the same time and for a set amount of time every day. Work with your child to develop that routine. Some Attention Deficit and hyperactive children work best immediately after school while others need an hour or two to settle down before jumping back into studies. To help the A.D.D. child better focus, the work area should be free of distractions, such as televisions, video games, music and other...Homework Help for the Attention Deficit Child

Hotels in Central London: History and Luxury
Copyright 2006 S Wander
Central London is where everything is: the history, the culture, the center of the UK's government, and the night life. For about a three-mile stretch between the Tower of London and Hyde Park, you'll find most of the London you're looking for: Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, St. Paul's, London Bridge, Westminster, Trafalgar Square. It only makes sense, therefore, to find a great hotel to stay in that area. You can do this for a reasonably-inexpensive rate, or you can splurge and be treated like the Queen.
The most important thing, though, is to reserve your spot as early as you can; rooms, especially the inexpensive rooms, go quickly. If you're arriving by midday, many places will hold your spot without a deposit. Others can be expensive if you're forced to cancel.
Bed and Breakfasts
In the streets behind Victoria Station, you'll find colonies of budget Bed and Breakfasts. It's a nice area, not at all touristy, and you...
