as a Senior Project Manager for several proper- ties, and she, as Director of the Resale and Rental Division at The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, which was interested in renovat- ing some of its older condominium units. “Our niche, at the time, was geared to that par- ticular property,” he relates. “We were positioned to come in and take that opportunity, based on our reputation for high-end condo work. It’s very difficult to do renovations in an existing resort, but because we offer design/build services, and we knew the property very well, we were able to work around some of the existing infrastructure. We came up with some very creative designs as well as great execution in this resort project.” What Encompass actually accomplished was a masterpiece of reinvention, completely re-imagin- ing a 6,000-sq.-ft space, which, eventually, turned out to be “at the other end of the design spectrum from the original Ritz-Carlton design,” according to Kline. “Although it was never built, there was plumbing, electrical, and mechanical stub-outs that would typically limit the design.We basical- ly ignored those restrictions and found creative ways to move everything around to where we wanted it.We literally sculpted the ceilings and the walls around pipes and other obstructions while at the same time incorporating the curves into our design.” From that stunning success, the firm moved on to other high-end, condo renovations. “We’ve done one or two renovations on just about ev- ery condo on the famous Seven Mile Beach,” Kline notes. “Then we got into some commercial ENCOMPASS LIMITED In 1949 Mr. Linton N.
