When our client wanted the design of their master bath to honor their Japanese heritage and emulate a Japanese bathing experience, they turned to us. They had very specific needs and ideas they needed help with — including blending Japanese design elements with their traditional Northwest-style home. The shining jewel of the project? An Ofuro soaking tub where the homeowners could relax, contemplate and meditate.

Patio - eclectic patio idea in Vancouver

When you love something and you realize after years, you’ve inadvertently put that away, a good designer will help you bring that back out. That was Turnstyle’s responsibility here with this recent client project: bring back the joy of spending time in a home library. This space is precious to me, because I’ve known it for all the many years I’ve been working on this home. It sits proudly in the center of the house, greeting people upon entry, and, in my opinion, was a jewel box ready to receive its shine. We blew through a wall to allow it a more spacious entrance, helping anyone who visits to immediately see the stunning on-the-lake view. I applied custom wall to wall antique glass to each wall, floor to ceiling, to enhance the view, make the walls feel like they fall away, and also reflect all the now beautiful art and furniture pieces as part of its new design. Influences from things gathered, stunning reworked furniture from the 1970s and all around functional hero items, allow for better working. The main push residing in really enabling quality time there. This space is open is now refreshing and full of beautiful objects and memorabilia. An inspiring place to contemplate, one is surrounded, and influenced, by a strong, fully fleshed out space through my extensive love of pattern, color and unusual combinations.

T-shaped kitchen island

After contemplating whether to move or remodel, the owners of this 1991 Burnsville home decided to stay and build the character and function they wanted into their current home. Builder grade oak cabinets were replaced by custom cherry and dark enameled cabinets. The island and vent hood form focal design elements as well as provided much-used work spaces for these avid cooks.

In order to feature the Envirocrete concrete countertop and sink, the egg design group worked with the couple to explore the relationship between the sink, tub and shower. Together they contemplated daily routines and considered future needs. Light levels in the bathroom were improved, and the vanity was designed with a shallow depth to enhance vision.

The client had fallen in love with the curvy bath and absolutely had to have it so I created the rest of the design to complement this hero piece. As the client wanted to lean into their feminine side we chose some beautiful dappled hexagon tiles in variegated shades of dusky pink and putty, which matched the vibe of the bath nicely. We chose a deep, rich indigo for the joinery to ground the scheme and to still maintain the overarching elegance of the design, emphasis on feminine - not girly! The quadrant shower echoes the curves of the bath and its sleek, minimalist design showcase the beauty of the tiles. The flooring is a gloriously pale stone which produces an amazing tactile experience in a subtle way without overshadowing the rest of the scheme. Joinery is kept simple in a deep, rich indigo to give some warmth to the room and ground the space with clean lines to make sure everything is kept uncluttered. The result is a gentle, restful sanctuary perfect for whiling hours away contemplating the world.

The living room, bathed in natural light streaming through large windows, welcomes you with a sense of airy comfort. Soft, neutral tones dominate the decor, with plush sofas and oversized armchairs. A cozy area rug anchors the seating arrangement, adding a touch of warmth and defining the space. Accent pillows and throws in rich textures and subtle patterns invite relaxation, while tasteful artwork adorns the walls, adding personality and depth to the room. A carefully curated collection of books displayed on elegant shelves or in artful stacks on a nearby side table hints at the intellectual depth of the space. Adjacent to the living area, a set of double doors or an open archway leads seamlessly into the study. As you step into this more focused and intimate space, you're greeted by the richness of dark wood furniture – a sturdy, imposing desk commands attention, flanked by bookcases filled with volumes of knowledge and personal treasures. The study exudes an atmosphere of quiet productivity, furnished with a comfortable yet elegant leather armchair placed behind the desk. Soft, ambient lighting provided by a vintage desk lamp illuminates the workspace, creating a conducive environment for work or reflection. The walls of the study are adorned with framed maps, paintings, or perhaps diplomas and certificates, offering a glimpse into the occupant's interests and accomplishments. A small bar cart or a sleek side table stocked with a selection of fine spirits and glassware stands nearby, adding a touch of sophistication. A large window in the study allows natural light to filter in during the day, offering a view of the outdoors that can be inspiring during moments of contemplation. The curtains or blinds can be drawn for privacy or to create a more focused environment when needed. Overall, the seamless transition from the inviting living room into the sophisticated study creates a harmonious flow, offering both comfort and functionality. It's a space designed for both relaxation and productivity, where one can unwind or delve into intellectual pursuits with ease.

Part of the 'Atmospheric Series', Michelle's work takes on a more contemplative feeling with the water in the distance. Misty tones of grey, aqua, sage, sand and creme...painted on wood with multiple glazes, each piece is completed with a highly reflective glossy finish that really catches the eye. These pieces are transportive and relaxing, bringing the viewer to a serene space where dreams take flight.
