Russian, World Renowned, Master Craftsman Creates Revolutionary Design in Flooring, Featured in Just Completed Project
(PRWEB) March 19, 2008 -- Davidson Home Builders recently competed project features the revolutionary floor designs of Russian master craftsman Boris Kushnir (www.davidsonhomebuilders.com).
In 2004, the Mission Viejo Company selected Steve Davidson, President of Davidson Construction, Inc., as one of the Signature home builders approved to build in the custom development of Covenant Hills in Ladera Ranch, California. To add a sense of tradition and grace to the community, Davidson chose, as his first from the three (3) projects, an authentic American Craftsman home were Arts and Crafts philosophy strongly influenced architecture, interior design, furniture design, and design in general at the beginning of this century.
Due to the level of artisanship required for a American Craftsman style home, Davidson and company sought out the finest artisans in their fields. Master craftsman and woodworker, architectural interior designer and detailer, Boris Kushnir was selected by Davidson. For over 28 years in US his design build projects earned highest recognition on many projects including private aircraft interiors for Prince Saud al-Faisal of Saudi Arabia and President Reagan, and a custom built home for film producer, Andrew Lazar.
The home's original plans called for a herringbone and random-plank floor design to give it a cozy appearance. During stages of the Architectural Interior Design for materials and details selections across all trades, Kushnir decided that the majority of the 4300 sq. ft. of allocated floor space should be geometrically designed parquet wood flooring.
After a two month completion in the design phase and six field measurements, Boris persuaded Davidson and his brother Michael to additional investment and made three separate, one-month trips to Russia. There, he supervised the engineering staff and personnel of his family-owned factories, Siberian Forest, and at the Kovcheg Parquet Company. In all, fifteen major design, craftsmanship, and engineering appliquåre used.
For design, beauty and durability Russian Rift and Quarter Sawn, solid wood engineered, White Oak was selected. Thousands of different wood components were then fastened into different sized panels and replicated throughout the house. Borders mirrored a wood-coffered, reflected ceiling plan. The center of the ceiling light was calculated to the center of the mosaic composition and with specially designed patterns for transitional panels between the areas, giving each room a "warm, home-like feeling" and an individual appearance.
Boris Kusnir then found it necessary to invent a secondary mosaic frieze border and by using different size modules for the different areas to balance the design, allowed modules to be installed without cutting them to fit various room sizes. Each area was manufactured and assembled in Russia. Then it was disassembled, marked, and inventory-labeled and delivered to the site. Even treads, risers and elevator floor adopted same techniques.
Kushnir States: "It Was An Honor To Fulfill The Traditional Works Of The Masters Such As William Morris, Gustav Stickley, Frank Lloyd Wright 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."
By introducing old-world, international craftsmanship to a home stile admired by many influential people, Kushnir and Davidson have raised the bar for the rest of the field. The results have been hailed as revolutionary.
