Luxury Meets the Waterfront: A Vision Realized

Set along the breathtaking shoreline of the Long Island Sound.  This recent Gappsi project on the North Shore of Riverhead, NY, showcases the perfect blend of artistry, engineering, and luxury design. It is a custom-built negative-edge Gunite swimming pool.  The built-in spa is designed to complement the property’s spectacular waterfront views and create an outdoor oasis of serenity and sophistication.

From the elegant Cumaro wood deck to the shimmering glass tile finishes, every element was meticulously chosen and expertly crafted. The result is a masterpiece that elevates the property’s natural beauty while providing an exceptional space for relaxation and entertainment.

Designing for the Horizon: The Power of the Negative Edge

When your backyard overlooks the Long Island Sound, the view becomes your most valuable design element. Gappsi’s vision for this project was to blend the pool’s surface with the water beyond seamlessly.  Creating a signature effect through a negative-edge (infinity-edge) design.

negative-edge-pool-long-island6The pool’s location along the property’s edge allows the water to flow into the Sound visually.  Creating a mesmerizing illusion of endless space. This architectural approach transforms a typical backyard into a resort-style destination.  It emphasizes tranquility and the natural connection between land, water, and sky.

Crafting the Perfect Deck: Cumaro Wood and Cable Rail Elegance

The journey to the pool begins on a Cumaro wood deck, custom-built by Gappsi’s skilled craftsmen. Cumaro, a rich Brazilian hardwood, is prized for its natural durability, weather resistance, and luxurious appearance. Its warm, earthy tones complement the surrounding coastal landscape, adding both elegance and endurance.

Encircling the deck is a steel cable railing system.  A sleek, modern choice that ensures uninterrupted views of Long Island Sound. This see-through railing design enhances the space’s openness. It allows homeowners and guests to take in the full beauty of the waterfront without obstruction.

Custom-built stairs lead gracefully down to the pool area.  Maintaining a fluid transition between the upper deck and lower patio is an example of Gappsi’s commitment to both aesthetic and functional harmony.

Luxury Meets the Waterfront: A Vision RealizedThe Pool and Spa: A Fusion of Beauty and Innovation

At the heart of the design lies the Gunite swimming pools built with precision and advanced engineering. The negative edge runs along the property’s waterfront side.  Creating that iconic infinity look where the pool and the Sound merge into one breathtaking scene.

In the center of the pool sits a raised spa, overflowing on three sides into the main body of water. This feature not only enhances visual appeal but also introduces soothing movement and sound, adding to the tranquil ambiance of the outdoor space.

Both the pool and spa interiors were finished with Tao Blue Diamond Brite, a high-end quartz aggregate that delivers a radiant blue hue and superior durability. The finish reflects sunlight beautifully, mirroring the shimmering tones of the Sound and sky for a visually captivating effect.

The Pool and Spa: A Fusion of Beauty and InnovationFiorito Travertine & Italian Porcelain: A Sophisticated Surface

Surrounding the pool, Gappsi installed a custom patio featuring Fiorito travertine and Italian porcelain pavers, two materials chosen for their elegance, performance, and timeless style.

The travertine coping and pavers offer a natural texture and subtle color variation that pair beautifully with the Cumaro deck and glass tile details. Travertine’s ability to stay cool underfoot makes it an ideal choice for pool areas, while its luxurious aesthetic adds sophistication to the design.

For the main patio surface, Italian porcelain pavers were installed using an open-drain pedestal system, a grout-free, raised installation technique that allows water to drain naturally between tiles. This innovative system ensures superior drainage and minimal maintenance while maintaining a clean, modern look.

Glass Tile Accents: The Jewel of the Design

The use of glass tile veneer throughout this project brings a touch of artistry and brilliance to the space.

The spa walls above the waterline were covered in vibrant glass tiles, which glisten in sunlight.  It enhances the spa’s visual prominence. The same tiles were used as markers on steps and benches inside the pool, blending safety with beauty.

The entire negative edge wall was also veneered with glass tiles, turning the cascading water into a dynamic, sparkling display. Below, a custom-built trough catches and recirculates the overflow water and is finished with matching Fiorito travertine for a cohesive aesthetic. Two symmetrical steps on either side of the pool provide access and balance to the design, also veneered for a seamless finish.

Building a negative-edge Gunite pool requires expert-level precision in both structure and hydraulics. Every detail from the slope of the edge to the alignment of the tile was executed with Gappsi’s renowned attention to quality and detail.

This project stands as an example of Gappsi’s commitment to excellence, combining advanced pool engineering with artistic design. The result is a flawless flow of water, sound, and light that complements the property’s natural beauty.

Colorado Wood-Burning Fire Pit BBQ | Italian-Made Outdoor Cooking & Patio Fire Feature

Discover the Colorado Wood-Burning Fire Pit BBQ: A Stunning Fusion of Style, Warmth, and Outdoor Cooking

There’s something truly timeless about gathering around an open flame and the Colorado Wood-Burning Fire Pit BBQ. Whether it’s the soft crackle of burning wood or the rich aroma of food cooking over the fire, it draws people together in a way that’s both comforting and captivating. Introducing the Colorado Wood-Burning Fire Pit BBQ.  The newest addition to our collection of luxury outdoor living products. Manufactured in Italy, this stunning piece of craftsmanship combines elegant European design with exceptional functionality, giving you both a beautiful fire feature and a fully functional outdoor cooking station.

Italian Craftsmanship Meets Outdoor Luxury

The Colorado Fire Pit stands out for its superior quality and aesthetic appeal. Built with precision and care in Italy, it’s not just a fire pit; it’s a statement piece. Available in two distinct finishes, this fire pit can perfectly complement your outdoor space, no matter your style preference.

  • Powder-Coated Black Finish: For those who prefer a sleek, modern aesthetic, the powder-coated black version offers a refined and elegant look that blends seamlessly into contemporary patios, decks, and backyard settings.
  • Bare Metal Finish (Corten Steel Look): For a more rustic and natural vibe, the bare metal option is designed to weather beautifully over time. As it’s exposed to the elements, it develops a warm, rust-like patina.  A distinctive look that tells a story of outdoor life and natural aging.

Both finishes have been built to withstand outdoor conditions.  This ensures your investment remains durable and visually appealing year after year.

Functionality Meets Versatility

The Colorado Fire Pit BBQ isn’t just for show.  It’s a fully functional outdoor cooking system. Designed with both relaxation and performance in mind. This fire pit offers multiple cooking and heating options that make it ideal for year-round use.

italian-made-outdoor-cooking--patio-fire-featureA Fire Pit That Transforms into a BBQ

At its core, the Colorado Fire Pit functions as a traditional wood-burning fire pit.  Perfect for cozy evenings on the patio. Place it on your deck or backyard entertainment area, surround it with a few comfortable chairs, and enjoy the ambiance of a natural flame.

But where this model truly shines is in its versatility as a wood-cooking BBQ. With the included accessories, it easily transforms into a culinary centerpiece. The fire pit comes equipped with four sear plates positioned around the top, allowing you to cook directly over the heat. The center area is designed for the wood fire.  The surrounding sear plates distribute heat evenly, perfect for searing meats, vegetables, or even grilling artisan flatbreads.

Grill and Tray System

For even more cooking flexibility, the Colorado Fire Pit includes a grill tray and rack that can be placed on top. This allows you to grill your favorite foods just like a traditional barbecue. Whether you’re cooking steaks, burgers, seafood, or roasted vegetables, the open flame enhances the flavor and gives your dishes that unmistakable wood-fired aroma.

When you’re done cooking, you can easily remove the grill and enjoy the warmth of the fire for the rest of the evening, a seamless transition from chef mode to relaxation mode.

Designed for Convenience

Every detail of the Colorado Fire Pit has been thoughtfully engineered for ease of use and maintenance. The unit sits on a sturdy stand that raises it to a comfortable height for both cooking and socializing. This ergonomic design ensures you won’t have to bend or strain while grilling or tending the fire.

Beneath the main body of the fire pit is a removable ash tray, designed to catch ashes and embers as they fall. When the fire has burned out and cooled, slide out the tray, dump the ashes, and your fire pit is ready for its subsequent use.

This combination of form and function makes the Colorado Fire Pit one of the most user-friendly outdoor products available, easy to clean, easy to use, and built to last.

Shape and Style Options

The Colorado Fire Pit is available in two distinct shapes to fit your outdoor design preferences:

  • Rectangular Model: Sleek, spacious, and modern. The rectangular version is our most popular option. It offers a generous cooking surface and a bold visual presence, making it ideal for larger patios or entertainment areas.
  • Round Model (Special Order): For those who prefer a softer, more traditional look, the round version can be special-ordered upon request. Its circular design is great for intimate gatherings and smaller spaces.

No matter which shape you choose, you’ll enjoy the same Italian craftsmanship, durable materials, and multifunctional design that make the Colorado Fire Pit such a standout addition to any home.

The Perfect Gathering Spot

Imagine hosting friends and family for a relaxed evening outdoors.  The fire flickers softly as you cook dinner, the smell of wood smoke mixes with the savory scent of grilled food, and the warm glow illuminates everyone’s faces. The Colorado Fire Pit BBQ transforms your backyard into a destination, a place where memories are made, meals are shared, and moments are savored.

Unlike gas fire pits, which often lack character, a wood-burning fire pit provides an authentic, sensory experience. The crackling of the logs, the glowing embers, and the natural heat all come together to create a cozy, rustic charm that’s impossible to replicate with artificial flames.

Natural Stone Pebbles with Urethane Resin: A Long-Lasting Solution for Concrete Slab Joints in Commack, NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view Natural Stone Pebbles with Urethane Resin: A Long-Lasting Solution for Concrete Slab Joints in Commack, NY

Look at our recent project, Natural Stone Pebbles with Urethane Resin.  At Gappsi, we’re always looking for innovative and durable ways to enhance outdoor surfaces. Recently, our team completed a unique and visually stunning project at the Tara Condominium in Commack, NY. What started as a simple joint restoration turned into a beautiful and long-lasting upgrade.  We replaced traditional fillers with natural stone pebbles bonded with urethane resin.

This project not only solved an ongoing maintenance issue but also transformed the overall look of the concrete areas, creating a high-end finish that will last for years to come.

The Problem: Rotted Wood and Failing Polymeric Sand

Like many properties built years ago, the concrete slabs at the Tara Condominium were initially separated by wooden expansion joints. These joints, while functional, tend to absorb moisture and rot over time. The deterioration of wood in outdoor concrete joints is a common problem.  This is especially true in climates like Long Island, where we experience freezing winters and hot summers.

A few years back, we replaced those wooden joints with polymeric sand, a material often used for paver joints. Polymeric sand is a mixture of fine sand and polymer binders designed to harden once activated with water. The idea was that it would provide flexibility, stability, and a clean finish between the concrete slabs.

natural-stone-pebbles-with-urethane-resin3Unfortunately, over time, the polymeric sand did not hold up as expected. Despite claims from the manufacturer that it would withstand weathering and movement, the sand began to crack, wash out, and deteriorate.

At Gappsi, we stand behind our work and our customers. As a courtesy to the client, we decided to remove the failing polymeric sand and replace it with a more durable, permanent, and aesthetically superior solution: natural stone pebbles bonded with urethane resin.

The Solution: Urethane Resin and Natural Stone Pebbles

Our team carefully removed all the polymeric sand from the concrete slab joints, preparing a clean and stable base. We then introduced a urethane one-component resin system, which we mixed with Italian natural stone pebbles.

This resin-stone combination is a specialized product.  Both the stones and the urethane resin are manufactured in Italy, and Gappsi is proud to be a direct importer of this high-quality material. The combination of European craftsmanship and Gappsi’s expert installation techniques resulted in an exceptional finish that offers both beauty and performance.

The urethane resin acts as a strong yet flexible binder, allowing the stones to stay firmly in place while still accommodating minor ground movement. This flexibility prevents the cracking and separation that often occur with rigid fillers or polymer-based sands.

Installation Process at Tara Condominium

The installation process required precision, expertise, and attention to detail.  Hallmarks of every Gappsi project.

  1. Joint Preparation:
    We began by carefully removing all the old polymeric sand, ensuring the joints were clean and free of debris. Proper preparation is crucial to ensure strong adhesion between the stones and the resin.
  2. Mixing the Materials:
    The natural stone pebbles were mixed with the urethane resin in precise proportions. The resin fully coats each pebble, creating a uniform, glossy finish and ensuring a consistent bond.
  3. Application:
    The resin-stone mixture was poured and spread evenly into each concrete joint. We worked carefully to achieve a smooth and flush surface, complementing the existing concrete slabs while providing a striking visual contrast.
  4. Curing and Finishing:
    Once in place, the resin mixture cures to form a solid yet flexible joint, resistant to cracking, UV damage, and water penetration. The finished product not only looks natural and elegant but also feels smooth underfoot and requires little to no maintenance.

concrete slab jointsWhy Urethane Resin is Superior to Polymeric Sand

When it comes to filling concrete or paver joints, not all materials are created equal. Polymeric sand has its place, but for high-traffic areas, patios, or commercial properties, urethane resin with natural stone offers several advantages:

  • Durability: Urethane resin is highly resistant to weathering, UV rays, and freeze-thaw cycles. It won’t crumble, wash away, or discolor over time.
  • Flexibility: Unlike rigid fillers, urethane resin expands and contracts slightly with temperature changes, preventing cracking.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The natural stone pebbles come in a range of colors and textures, adding a decorative and upscale look to any surface.
  • Low Maintenance: Once installed, the surface requires minimal upkeep — no re-sanding or sealing needed.
  • Water Permeability: The system allows for drainage, reducing water pooling and potential damage to the concrete.

At the Tara Condominium, the results were immediately noticeable. The joints that once looked weathered and uneven were now smooth, glossy, and beautifully finished. The subtle contrast of the natural stones against the gray concrete added depth and dimension, enhancing the property’s curb appeal.

Beyond Joints: Expanding the Application

While we used this product specifically for concrete slab joints at the condominium, the versatility of the urethane-stone system makes it suitable for many other applications. It can be used to create:

  • Entire patios and walkways with a seamless, decorative finish
  • Driveways that combine strength with aesthetic value
  • Pool decks that are slip-resistant and visually appealing
  • Garden paths or courtyard surfaces that resist weeds and erosion

This system combines the natural beauty of stone with the latest in resin bonding technology, offering a solution that is both functional and elegant.

Urethane Resin is Superior to Polymeric SandImported Italian Quality, Installed by Gappsi

Gappsi takes pride in sourcing and importing the highest-quality materials from Italy.  A country renowned for its craftsmanship in stone and architectural finishes. The stones and urethane resin used in this project are designed specifically for outdoor applications, ensuring exceptional performance and longevity.

By combining premium materials with Gappsi’s meticulous installation process, our clients enjoy results that look beautiful and last for years. Whether it’s a minor repair or a large-scale outdoor renovation, our commitment to quality never changes.

The Final Result: Beauty That Lasts

The finished project at Tara Condominium speaks for itself. The natural stone pebbles bonded with urethane resin created a clean, polished, and durable joint system that enhances the look of the entire concrete area. The contrast between the soft, rounded stones and the structured concrete provides a modern, elegant, and low-maintenance finish.

Most importantly, this solution will not deteriorate like polymeric sand or wood fillers. The residents of Tara Condominium can now enjoy a long-lasting, attractive surface that resists cracking, fading, and erosion, even under Long Island’s harsh seasonal conditions.

Bathroom Renovation in Lindenhurst NY | Modern Bathroom Remodel by Gappsi

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Elegant Bathroom Renovation in Lindenhurst, NY by Gappsi

Transforming an outdated bathroom into a modern, luxurious retreat requires more than just new tiles and fixtures; it demands vision, craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to every detail. At Gappsi, we take pride in delivering home renovation projects that blend functionality, aesthetics, and long-lasting quality. Our latest bathroom renovation in Lindenhurst, NY, is a perfect example of what happens when expert design meets precise execution.

This renovation began as a complete gut remodel, stripping the space down to its bare structure and rebuilding it into a stunning, spa-like oasis that our clients can enjoy for years to come.

Starting from the Ground Up

Every successful renovation starts with a clean slate. Our team began by removing the existing walls and ceilings down to the studs. This step is crucial.  It enables us to evaluate the structure, identify potential issues, and establish a solid foundation for everything that follows.

bathroom-renovation-in-lindenhurst-ny3Once the demolition was complete, we addressed the home’s electrical system. The entire wiring was replaced with new electrical lines, ensuring safety and reliability. We installed modern high hats to provide balanced lighting throughout the room, along with GFCI outlets, new switches, and a ceiling fan to improve airflow and prevent moisture buildup, which is essential for a bathroom environment.

By upgrading every aspect of the electrical system, we ensured that the space not only looks beautiful but also meets modern safety standards and convenience needs.

New Plumbing and Fixtures for Superior Functionality

Plumbing plays a vital role in any bathroom renovation. For this project, our team replaced all plumbing lines and installed brand-new fixtures designed for performance and durability.

At the heart of the new shower system is a Moen shower body with all-new valves, chosen for its smooth operation, precise temperature control, and timeless design. Moen is known for its reliability and sleek aesthetics, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who value both quality and style.

By rebuilding the plumbing system from scratch, we ensured consistent water pressure and leak-free operation.  A long-term investment in comfort and peace of mind.

Firm Foundations: Cement and Green Boards

To create a moisture-resistant and durable structure, we installed new cement boards in the shower area. Cement board is ideal for wet environments because it prevents mold growth and provides a stable base for tile installation.

bathroom-renovation-in-lindenhurst-ny2For the rest of the bathroom’s walls and ceiling, we used green boards.  Water-resistant drywall designed explicitly for humid spaces. This combination ensures the entire bathroom is well-protected from moisture while maintaining structural integrity.

These unseen layers might not be glamorous, but they’re essential for ensuring that every tile, fixture, and finish stands the test of time.

Porcelain Perfection: A Modern Tile Design

The visual transformation of this Lindenhurst bathroom truly shines through its tile work. Every wall was covered in glossy white porcelain tiles featuring subtle gray veins. The result is a bright, elegant, and timeless look that reflects light beautifully, making the space feel larger and more open.

To create contrast and visual interest, we added a dark gray flat porcelain tile to accent the shower wall and the built-in nook. This feature adds depth and sophistication, highlighting the shower area as a statement piece within the room.

For the flooring, we selected flat, darker porcelain tiles with delicate vein patterns. These tiles complement the wall design while providing a slip-resistant surface that’s both functional and visually cohesive.

Porcelain is an ideal material for bathroom renovations due to its durability, low maintenance, and luxurious appearance. It’s resistant to moisture, scratches, and stains.  Perfect for a space that sees daily use.

Finishing Touches: Fixtures and Accessories

Every detail matters when it comes to creating a cohesive and stylish bathroom. To complete the transformation, we installed a new Kohler toilet, known for its sleek design and efficient performance.

darker porcelain tiles with delicate vein patternsThe vanity was upgraded to a modern style with a marble countertop, adding a touch of elegance and practicality. Marble is not only beautiful but also durable, making it a timeless choice for bathroom countertops.

Above the vanity, we mounted a fogless mirror with integrated lighting.  A functional yet luxurious addition that eliminates the common frustration of steam-covered mirrors. This feature enhances everyday routines while contributing to the bathroom’s overall modern aesthetic.

Every accessory, from the towel bars to the light fixtures, was chosen to complement the design’s contemporary theme while maintaining functionality and balance.

A Modern Bathroom That Marries Form and Function

The finished bathroom is a showcase of clean lines, neutral tones, and thoughtful design. The combination of glossy porcelain, marble, and soft lighting creates a serene environment perfect for relaxation.

What was once a dated and confined space has now become a bright, modern, and inviting retreat.  A true reflection of Gappsi’s craftsmanship and commitment to excellence.

Each phase of this renovation, from demolition to final touches, was handled with precision and care. The result is a bathroom that not only meets the homeowner’s expectations but exceeds them in every way.

View Gappsi’s YouTube Channel to view How to Master Your Short Game: Custom Putting Green Installation in Center Island, NY by Gappsi

There’s nothing quite like having your very own custom putting green installation right in your backyard.  Especially when it’s designed with precision, style, and functionality in mind. For golf enthusiasts, practicing your short game at home isn’t just a convenience; it’s a luxury that elevates your outdoor living experience. That’s precisely what Gappsi recently delivered with their latest putting green installation in Center Island, NY.  A stunning project that perfectly combines craftsmanship, aesthetics, and the love of golf.

A Backyard Built for Golfers

This new custom putting green installation by the expert team at Gappsi transforms a beautiful waterfront property into a golfer’s paradise. Located near the beach and boasting an incredible waterfront view, the space offers more than just a practice area.  It’s a serene escape and a luxurious outdoor feature.

The project was carefully planned to integrate seamlessly with the natural landscape while enhancing the property’s outdoor living space. Beginning near the key box located close to the house, the green extends outward, inviting homeowners and guests to step outside and enjoy a round of golf at any time.

master-your-short-game-custom-putting-green-installation-in-center-island-ny-by-gappsi3Expert Turf Selection for Superior Playability

One of the most important aspects of a putting green installation is the choice of turf. Gappsi takes this element very seriously. Using only the highest-quality synthetic grass designed for durability, realistic ball roll, and minimal maintenance.

For this Center Island project, Gappsi installed three different types of turf.  This serves a unique purpose to replicate the feel and function of a professional golf course:

  1. Trim Turf for Outer Edges and Hills – This turf type provides a clean, polished border and mimics the natural transition you’d find on a real course. Designed to handle slight elevation changes, this feature adds depth and texture to the landscape.
  2. Lighter Turf Fringe – A defining feature of this installation, the fringe creates a smooth transition between the outer trim turf and the putting surface. Its lighter color not only adds visual contrast but also improves playability by simulating the approach areas found around real putting greens.
  3. Putting Green Turf – At the heart of the installation is the putting surface itself, crafted with specialized turf that delivers consistent roll, speed, and realism. This surface, designed to replicate the feel of a professional green, allows golfers to practice with precision.

The combination of these three turf types ensures that every part of the green, from approach to cup, mimics the conditions of a professional golf course while remaining low-maintenance and weather-resistant.

Designed for Play: Flags, Cups, and Sand Bunkers

No putting green is complete without the finishing touches that make it feel like the real thing. Gappsi’s installation includes three flags and cups, carefully positioned to create multiple putting scenarios. These targets enable players to practice various angles, distances, and techniques, thereby improving accuracy, control, and confidence.

To elevate the realism even further, the Gappsi team installed two sand bunkers, one on each side of the green. These features don’t just add visual appeal; they also provide valuable short-game practice. Golfers can work on bunker shots, chip outs, and approaches, all without leaving home.

Expert Turf Selection for Superior PlayabilityThe placement of the bunkers and cups was strategically designed to offer a range of difficulty levels, ensuring the space is both fun and functional for golfers of all skill levels, from beginners learning the basics to seasoned players fine-tuning their short game.

A Custom Putting Green Installation with a View

What truly sets this installation apart is its breathtaking location. Situated next to the beach, the putting green offers panoramic waterfront views, transforming every practice session into a peaceful and enjoyable experience. The natural light, open sky, and gentle sound of waves create a relaxing atmosphere that makes this backyard more than just a place to golf; it’s a retreat.

This scenic backdrop also makes the space ideal for entertaining. Imagine hosting summer gatherings where friends and family can practice their putting while enjoying the view. Or picture quiet mornings spent perfecting your game before the day begins. With a setting like this, the putting green becomes a focal point of outdoor living.

Low Maintenance, High Performance Synthetic Turf

One of the many advantages of Gappsi’s synthetic putting greens is their low maintenance requirements. Unlike natural grass, which demands regular mowing, watering, fertilizing, and pest control, synthetic turf stays pristine year-round with minimal effort.

This means homeowners can spend more time enjoying their putting green and less time maintaining it. The surface remains consistent in all weather conditions and is designed to last for many years without fading, compacting, or losing performance quality. Even the sand bunkers are built for durability and easy upkeep, ensuring the space always looks and plays like new.
