Our Burlington client required a backyard space that would allow for entertaining as well as provide a safe and fun environment for their young children to play. The backyard had a severe grade change which required the construction of a substantial retaining wall to allow for the installation of a modern rectilinear pool featuring a sheer decent water feature wall. Large concrete slabs were used to create the pool patio/dining area and a composite deck complete with frameless glass railings was added to allow for unobstructed views of the yard. A lawn area for the children and a variety of plant material was used to provide year-round interest. Lighting, irrigation and a custom cedar pool shed complete the project.

The stone veneered fireplace and hearth are the focal point of the project. The placement of this element extends the existing interior kitchen/dining area. Ample shading and the 4-panel bi-folding wall system create a hybrid inside/outside space for the family's enjoyment.

Bridle Path Residence — Primary Bedroom Suite
This Bridle Path Residence primary bedroom is designed as a quietly luxurious private retreat, balancing the architectural formality of the home with a softer, more intimate residential atmosphere. The space demonstrates how classical detailing can be paired with expressive colour, layered textiles, and contemporary lighting to create a bedroom that feels both elegant and personal.
The architecture establishes a calm, cohesive backdrop. Crisp white wall panelling, substantial crown moulding, and a carefully detailed recessed ceiling create a sense of proportion and permanence. Rather than competing with the furnishings, these architectural elements provide a restrained framework that allows texture, colour, and light to become the defining layers.
A custom fireplace creates an architectural focal point within the bedroom. Its clean, linear treatment is deliberately understated, allowing the fire itself to introduce warmth and atmosphere without overwhelming the room. The fireplace also visually connects the bedroom to the adjoining sitting area, creating a sense of continuity across the suite.
The recessed ceiling is an important design feature. Layered moulding frames the central ceiling plane, while concealed perimeter lighting creates a soft architectural glow. This indirect illumination gives the room a warmer evening character and highlights the geometry of the ceiling without relying solely on decorative fixtures.
The upholstered bed provides a substantial yet comfortable centrepiece. Its tall, softly rounded headboard introduces a tactile quality against the crisp architectural envelope, while the layered bedding and collection of jewel-toned cushions bring personality into the otherwise neutral setting.
Colour is used selectively but confidently. Deep fuchsia, sapphire blue, plum, and charcoal accents create a sophisticated jewel-tone palette that contrasts with the white architecture and pale textiles. These richer colours make the room feel curated and expressive while maintaining an overall sense of serenity.
The adjoining sitting area extends the bedroom beyond its sleeping function. A pair of sculptural upholstered chairs and a richly coloured ottoman create a small private lounge, allowing the suite to function as a complete retreat rather than simply a bedroom. Artwork introduces another layer of personality and creates a visual transition between the two spaces.
The hardwood flooring provides warmth and continuity, grounding the predominantly light palette and connecting the bedroom with the rest of the residence. The combination of wood, upholstered surfaces, reflective accents, architectural millwork, and soft lighting creates a carefully balanced sensory experience.
Overall, the design is an expression of refined residential luxury with a more personal and intimate character. Classical millwork establishes timelessness, while jewel-toned textiles, sculptural furnishings, contemporary lighting, and curated artwork prevent the room from feeling overly traditional. The result is a sophisticated primary suite designed for comfort, privacy, and understated glamour.

This sleek contemporary staircase pairs rich ebony-stained oak with satin black horizontal iron balusters for a striking modern aesthetic. Square oak newels with chamfered tops anchor the design, while thick contemporary oak treads provide substantial footing. The ebony-stained custom handrails tie the dark tones together, creating visual cohesion from bottom to top. The result is a staircase that balances bold contrast with refined simplicity, proving that durable materials and precise craftsmanship create designs that stand the test of time.

A book lover’s living room designed around an extensive personal collection, with wall-mounted shelving turning the books into part of the architecture. Sculptural leather lounge chairs, a soft curved sofa and a substantial wood coffee table create an inviting setting for reading, conversation and music, while the open connection to the dining area keeps the space feeling relaxed and social.

This Gunbarrel kitchen remodel brings a cleaner, more contemporary interpretation to classic Craftsman style. Warm wood cabinetry and carefully selected natural finishes give the kitchen the richness associated with Craftsman interiors, while simpler lines, updated proportions, and a more open feel keep the space from feeling heavy or overly traditional.
The cabinetry provides much of the room’s character, combining visible wood grain with substantial detailing and a warm, furniture-like presence. A mobile island creates additional workspace while being movable depending on the homeowner's needs.
