SustainableBrazilian Tigerwood flooring, an exoticwood species that is
best known for its beautiful grain is used throughout the home. Sourced
fromGreyfair Flooring Inc. inOwenSound, this dramatic and durable
hardwood gleamswith a deep reddish/orange background and dark vein
striping. TheBurri’s are extremely environmentally conscious and
chose this evergreen variety because thewood is grown and farmed
specifically for this purpose and not harvested in vain. It is naturally
resistant to rot and decay, will not attract mold or fungus growth and
resists denting and trafficwear verywell.

Wemet with three architects beforewe eventually settled on
Montgomery. One of the architects said, ‘we’ll guide you in purchasing new
furniture and artwork,’ and I said, ‘whoawhoawhoa, we’re looking for a space
that will hold our lives. Our lives that we have been living all these years.’
I wanted this to be reflected in our home, I didn’t want to start a new life.”
