This 7,800-square-foot, three-story home was designed with Feng Shui principles and lots of concrete.

The concrete driveway uses a combination of stamped textures and borders to offset the different colors of a compass stamp. The porte cochere includes a textured micro-topped entry with wheelchair ramp.

The side entry has a unique textured concrete finish with two-tone coloring that accents the home’s earth-tone stucco walls. Another side of the home has a basketball court made with wood-tone integral-colored concrete that was plank stamped.

Additional integral-colored concrete was used on the plank-stamped walkway from the pool house. The walkway merges into the pool deck and is surrounding by a sandblasted integral-colored concrete slab that was finished in a wave pattern.

Concrete was also used for the countertops of an outside entertainment area.

The home’s lower level has another entertainment area, this one with a dyed concrete floor. On the main level, concrete was used for an exterior deck.
