One of our client's requests was to introduce a few more traditional elements within the contemporary aesthetic. We were able to do that with special accents like this Gin Lane Bar Cart (via Avenue Road). Photograph by Garrett Rowland.

A closer look at the living room, which we re-oriented to be near the kitchen. The wall where the TV is mounted is in fact a central pod that contains the guest and powder bathrooms, the laundry room, and a small storage closet. Photograph by Garrett Rowland

Previously, the living area was located where we now have the dining table. It was oddly placed and didn't make good use of the space. And since the couple uses the kitchen and living areas most, it made more sense to co-locate them. Another notable difference from before is the black 'pod' made...

A view from the living area into the dining area and front of the loft. One of the challenges here was to work with the asymmetric window frame, which we did by enforcing some geometry with the window seat element. Photograph by Garrett Rowland

A lighter, brighter palette was much more in line with the client's aesthetic and desire to display art. The bench is a design by Zimmerman Workshop, and available through www.ot-tra.com. Photograph by Garrett Rowland

Work on the kitchen was limited to paint and flooring, replacing the counter with concrete, introducing a new backsplash and pendant light, and re-working the series of exposed/decorative beams. The oversized counter is divided into two zones by a concrete barrier softened by a walnut detail; this...

The master bedroom features a chandelier that can only be described as "dreamy" from Toronto company Unitfive (via Avenue Road). The bed is from RH, the bassinet from Monte, and the TV stand is by a German company called Wissmann Raumobjekte. To make the most of the limited space, we kept storage...

Between the bathroom and the master bedroom are two large closets where we were able to enclose all storage pieces to then keep the bedroom clear and simple. Photograph by Garrett Rowland

Another view of the master bathroom. One of the nice features with the walk-in shower/tub area is that it makes bathing the clients' large dogs a lot easier! Garrett Rowland

With the nursery, we kept the palette and furnishings sophisticated and neutral, knowing that toys and baby items would add plenty of color and excitement. A daybed functions as an extra bed when necessary. Photograph by Garrett Rowland

Previously, the guest bathroom had a tub that was not used, so it was replaced with a walk-in shower. Garrett Rowland

Prior to the renovation, the walls and exposed brick were beige, the rarely used dining room occupied more space than necessary, and the lighting was limited.
