Every detail in our client’s home had to be unique, including the bathrooms. We had a tall order to meet given the size of the space, which was standard, with no circulation or storage. The monochromatic colour scheme and combination of tumbled and polished marble create a comfortable, contemporary and elegant oasis.

As for the kitchen, our client’s love to entertain and wanted a large, contemporary kitchen that would leave a lasting impression.

Two light wood (maple and cherry) tones play off each other in the cabinetry, accentuated by the dramatic dark granite countertop that sweeps up the wall to create a backsplash. Modular back-lit cabinet doors provide indirect lighting, and subtle interest.

The warm wood tones are offset by the stainless steel accents – through appliances, appliance garages and handles. All the pieces contribute to the contemporary lines of this kitchen, creating impact where there had been none before.

The client’s backyard is tremendously beautiful and in order to take full advantage of the view we removed the partition between the formal dining room and the kitchen – the site lines are now of the garden – not of a wall. Again opening the kitchen up allows it to become the center of attention – as it should be! Perfect for a party!
