This uptown condo overlooking Klyde Warren Park was the perfect canvas for our unique, eclectic and modern design approach. We transformed the space with a mix of bold printed grasscloth, luxurious marble and rich fabrics, infusing personality into every corner. The kitchen received a stunning facelift with a striking waterfall peninsula, while the den’s bar area became a bold statement of style. With carefully selected art, furnishings, lighting and accessories, we created a cohesive and elevated aesthetic that perfectly reflects the homeowners’ vision. The result? A home that not only wows but feels deeply personal and inspiring.

Though lovely, this new build was lacking personality. This work from home family needed a vision to transform their priority spaces into something that felt unique and deeply personal. Having relocated from California, they sought a home that truly represented their family's identity and catered to their lifestyle. With a blank canvas to work with, the design team had the freedom to create a space that combined interest, beauty, and high functionality. A home that truly represented who they are.

This primary bedroom delivers a bold and calming atmosphere with rich teal walls that set a dramatic, cocooning tone. A plush upholstered bed is layered with luxe velvet textures in jewel-toned accents, complemented by golden ochre and ivory details that add warmth and balance. The space is finished with elegant brass sconces, sculptural art pieces, and natural wood tones throughout, creating a sophisticated retreat that feels serene, curated, and deeply personal.

When our clients approached us to renovate their 1950s Newfoundland home, their goal was to modernize while reflecting both their West Coast roots and current East Coast lifestyle. What began as a simple ensuite repair expanded into a full home transformation, completed in two thoughtfully phased renovations. Drawing from our cross-coastal experience—and a personal connection to the home’s past—we blended classic East Coast charm with West Coast simplicity. From reworking the layout and finishes to integrating their art collection and layering in warm, tactile materials, every detail was designed to feel cohesive, inviting, and deeply personal.

A curated gallery wall brings personality and warmth to this casual dining space. An eclectic mix of framed artwork and warm tones of the wishbone chairs and light oak furniture balance the visual energy of the art, resulting in a space that feels collected, layered, and deeply personal.

The Brexhill project was designed as a sophisticated retreat for both entertaining and unwinding. The client wanted a space where adults could gather comfortably, while also creating a quiet corner to sit, read, and relax. Rich greens and layered blues bring personality and warmth to the renovation, creating a palette that feels inviting, distinctive, and deeply personal to the homeowner. Thoughtful furnishings, comfortable seating, and refined details transformed the space into a place that supports every mood—from lively evenings with friends to peaceful moments alone. The result is a welcoming, polished retreat that feels entirely her own.

Warm, expressive, and deeply personal, this kitchen reimagines Mid-Century modernism through color, texture, and heritage. Dramatic oxblood Zellige tile creates a handcrafted focal point, complemented by sophisticated green cabinetry and a warm walnut island. Wood slats span the ceiling, adding architectural texture and softness, while Taj Mahal porcelain brings a luminous counterpoint to the richer palette. The final layer comes through the homeowners’ collection of found objects and meaningful pieces rooted in their heritage. Together, these elements create a space that feels collected rather than styled—an inviting, soulful interpretation of modernism where thoughtful design and personal history live beautifully together.
