A home built on one of Canada's most beautiful lakes posed a design challenge. The home had originally been built almost directly in opposition to natural light and views to the lake. While most opinions were to tear the existing home down, BLDG Workshop worked closely with the client to recreate the home in a way that opened it up and became more fitting to the site.

We have reintroduced the Tomei glasstile series with a fresh palette inspired by the great modern architects: Gehry, Hadid and Mies van der Rohe. Carefully curated, the colors accentuate architecture while providing a versatile blueprint for decorating any space. Choose from seven sizes, 24 colors and three finishes, Natural (gloss), Silk (matte) and Pearl (iridescent, which is available only in mini brick).

This homeowner was looking for a way to elevate their living room. When they bought this home in Florida, they knew they wanted to add a Fireplace somewhere and give themselves the same cozy feelings they are used to from their northern home. We advised on location, placement, and style of this beautiful feature wall. All they needed was the perfect tile, a fantastic piece of live-edge wood, a pop-in fireplace, and a man-approved TV. We worked in partnership with Start to Finish, Inc in Parrish, Fl. Photos by Visual Edge Photography in Sarasota, Fl.

A British client requested an 'unfitted' look. Robinson Interiors was called in to help create a space that appeared built up over time, with vintage elements. For this kitchen reclaimed wood was used along with three distinctly different cabinet finishes (Stained Wood, Ivory, and Vintage Green), multiple hardware styles (Black, Bronze and Pewter) and two different backsplash tiles. We even used some freestanding furniture (A vintage French armoire) to give it that European cottage feel. A fantastic 'SubZero 48' Refrigerator, a British Racing Green Aga stove, the super cool Waterstone faucet with farmhouse sink all hep create a quirky, fun, and eclectic space! We also included a few distinctive architectural elements, like the Oculus Window Seat (part of a bump-out addition at one end of the space) and an awesome bronze compass inlaid into the newly installed hardwood floors. This bronze plaque marks a pivotal crosswalk central to the home's floor plan. Finally, the wonderful purple and green color scheme is super fun and definitely makes this kitchen feel like springtime all year round! Masterful use of Pantone's Color of the year, Ultra Violet, keeps this traditional cottage kitchen feeling fresh and updated.
