Floor to Floor at the Ritz
At the west end of Fruitville Road is the towering new Ritz-Carlton Residences. It’s the epitome of luxury living, but did you know the interior of these condo units don’t exactly look all that luxurious when they’re newly built? That’s why the homeowners contact design-build companies to come in and create the final extraordinary touches to their homes. This is what we recently did for two separate units in the Ritz. Both designs involve luxurious, custom fireplaces with water vapor fire. Step on the private elevator with us as we start on the fourth floor and end on the 14th floor as we take a look at our various build-out projects.
The 4th Floor: Emerald Ocean
We start our ascent up the Ritz Residences with our first project on the fourth floor. A luxury electric fireplace is the new eye-catching centerpiece in the living room.

Surrounded by luxurious Emerald Green Quartzite, this particular one of our custom fireplaces sits between two stacks of floating shelves that have LED strip lights to provide a milky glow above two heaps of fire-ready logs (which of course is purely for decorative purposes as the fireplace is electric).
The 14th Floor: Fire & Ice
Four flights higher is a unit showcasing our final project we recently completed in the Ritz. The electric fireplace returns here but in two separate places. What was a bare wall in the living room is now a modern floating fireplace surround constructed out of Venetian plaster. The interior of the fireplace is painted flat black.

The same icy fireplace surround is in the den. There are a couple of additional touches here though. The floating shelves are Elmwood Custom Cabinetry with a bright white aqua gloss finish. 3D decorative wall panels were installed on the back wall above the fireplace. These wall panels run from corner to corner and from the top of fireplace to the bottom of the soffit, finishing out one of the most beautiful custom fireplaces we’ve designed.
