This project was an update and addition to a historic firehouse in Pacific Heights. The original layout included the engine room, a bunkroom and a cook’s cottage at the rear. Our work was primarily to work with a collection of odd spaces at the rear and create kids bedrooms, a light court and design a more creative and inviting court yard between the existing buildings. After the renovation the home retains the character of the firehouse with 4 bedrooms to complement the party / play space on the ground floor, and the quintessential great room upstairs.

With inspiration going back to antiquity, the ancient French farmhouse, or the vast bustling kitchen of chateau, our Range Hoods collections vary from the simply elegant to creations of intricate beauty, ranging in scale and style from delicate and understated to grand and majestic.

This beautiful study was part of a whole house design and renovation by Haven Design and Construction. For this room, our objective was to create a feminine and sophisticated study for our client. She requested a design that was unique and fresh, but still warm and inviting. We wallpapered the back of the bookcases in an eye catching metallic vine pattern to add a feminine touch. Then, we selected a deep gray tone from the wallpaper and painted the bookcases and wainscoting in this striking color. We replaced the carpet with a light wood flooring that compliments the gray woodwork. Our client preferred a petite desk, just large enough for paying bills or working on her laptop, so our first furniture selection was a lovely black desk with feminine curved detailing and delicate star hardware. The room still needed a focal point, so we selected a striking lucite and gold chandelier to set the tone. The design was completed by a pair of gray velvet guest chairs. The gold twig pattern on the back of the chairs compliments the metallic wallpaper pattern perfectly. Finally the room was carefully detailed with unique accessories and custom bound books to fill the bookcases.

This historic building in Stouffville is over 70 years old. The older bricks has become soft over time and the brickwork at bottom of wheelchair ramp were deteriorating. We replaced the bricks with a concrete brick in matching white. It was a very tricky repair as walls were not constructed the same way they are today. We used an underpinning approach as safety was a concern. The job looks fabulous and will blend very well.

To stay on budget, we kept almost of all the appliances, only replacing the dishwasher. We added a larger sink and shifted it slightly to create a drying area out of the line of vision when you're in the living area.

Casual elegance perfectly describes this classic family home. Delicate touches of color, loads of crisp white and a little bit of luxury are what brings this home to life.

We matched the new hardwood upstairs to the existing floor below as closely as possible. New lighting, a dramatic headboard, small dressers practically made to measure and luxurious curtains make the space feel both cozy and modern at the same time.

The matte floors, new paint and carefully chosen furnishings helped make the main level of the home feel more spacious than it is. Art and an industrial pendant over the dining table help zone the space.
