A young family in a new development and wanting more out of their home decided to remodel the 2500 square feet of unfinished space in their basement. Their goals were to have a future au-pair suite, large entertainment area, multi -seating spaces, a gym, and last but not the least, a state-of-the- art home theater. Additionally, they have been accustomed to large gatherings with 50 and more guests, so it was essential to have a large bar/kitchenette area serving the dual purpose. The highlight of this renovation is the new home movie theatre. Complete with HD screen, projector and sound system, the motif for the room is the Renaissance, complete with fluted columns and arched panel walls. Double wood theatre doors open to theatre seating featuring burgundy leather theatre recliners. The basement also touts a large au-pair bedroom suite, large walk-in closet and full bath furnished with walk-in shower stall, built-in bench and niches, frameless glass enclosure, cherry vanity cabinets and brick color porcelain tiles. A custom bar/kitchenette uses cherry stained cabinets with dark granite countertops. It offers a built-in oven, microwave, wine coolers and a full refrigerator. So whether the family wants to watch a favorite movie, work out in the home gym or have friends over for a party, this fully equipped basement is ready for the job.

Kitchen – Statement Island & Cohesive Modern Design | Toronto This view highlights the kitchen island as the visual and functional centerpiece of the space, anchoring the open-concept main floor with a clean, modern presence. Its proportions were carefully considered to support everyday use—providing generous prep space, casual seating, and clear circulation around the kitchen. The island works in harmony with the surrounding custom slab-door cabinetry, reinforcing a cohesive design language throughout the room. Material continuity, balanced tones, and precise alignment give the kitchen an overall polished look that feels intentional rather than over-designed. Beyond aesthetics, the island plays a key role in how the kitchen functions—serving as a gathering point for family and guests while maintaining strong sightlines to adjacent living areas. This balance of form and function reflects Cedarstone Group Inc.’s design-build approach: creating kitchens that look exceptional and work effortlessly in real life.

Proportion, scale, and material selection are key to this beautiful modern style addition and bathroom. This design embraces flexibility and creates a multifunction space, emphasizing minimalism with clean lines and geometric shapes.

Minimalist Slab Cabinetry & Integrated Functionality This kitchen exemplifies modern, minimalist design paired with highly functional planning. The space is anchored by cool-toned slab door cabinetry, creating a clean, seamless look that feels refined and timeless. The flat-panel profile allows the cabinetry to read as smooth architectural surfaces, keeping visual clutter to a minimum. To maintain the streamlined aesthetic, the cabinets are detailed with integrated pull-tab handles, eliminating protruding hardware while still offering comfortable, intuitive use. This subtle detail reinforces the kitchen’s contemporary feel and enhances everyday ergonomics. A key functional highlight is the integrated pull-out waste and recycling system, strategically located beside the sink. This placement improves workflow during cooking and cleanup while keeping waste discreetly hidden — a practical solution that supports both efficiency and a polished appearance. Designed as part of a full-home transformation, this kitchen balances clean design, smart storage, and durability, reflecting Cedarstone Group Inc.’s approach to building kitchens that are not only visually striking but purpose-built for daily living.
