Decorators Showcase
Hatcher Associates long has advocated increased use of classical brick in South Florida. When the building's owners, Emil and Dennis Gould, stressed they wanted nothing but top quality, the way for brick was opened. Masonry contractor for the job was Charles R. Poe Masonry, Inc. (MCAA) of Miami. Poe says more than 3,000 man-hours, by masons and laborers, went into the antique brick walls. In addition, brick pavers were used to border the sidewalk and act as an entryway from the street into the central courtyard.
Patio area of Decorators Showcase, part of the restaurant section, reflects a careful blending of brick and lush landscaping designed to accentuate an over-all tropical effect. Brick pavers cover the entire floor section, a carry-over of the entryway theme.
Looking like anything but the entrance to a parking lot, these lush tropical fountains, set off by orange brick, offer a welcome change from the endless miles of concrete and asphalt which formerly greeted visitors to downtown Miami.
"We felt we had to create a sort of wedding between classic and contemporary design," said Gunn, "because Decorators Showcase houses such a variety of offices and showrooms for different decorators and their various styles."
