Designed to fit the visual rhythm of the surrounding neighbourhood, this home demonstrates that a unique, custom designed home can still take the surrounding context into consideration. As long time residents of the neighbourhood, the clients wanted to respect the nature and character of the surrounding homes while incorporating some more modern elements.

This high-end home is the epitome of contemporary opulence. Moniomi expertly integrated the owner’s previously-owned European-inspired design pieces with an original, fresh concept, allowing her unique style to emanate within a pre-existing ultra-contemporary space. Elaborate and bold themes are expertly juxtaposed with organic and natural shapes for an optimally dramatic effect. This is perfectly demonstrated in the custom-designed pieces, like the marble dining room table topped with a dramatic artistic pattern, and the expansive full-wall headboard in the bedroom, which integrates soft linen and sturdy brass. Or look to the glam driftwood entertainment center with its natural grasscloth covering, and the dining room display credenza which seamlessly weaves together wood, leather, brass and mirrors for a symphony of textures.

My client decided to sell his house. Fantastic location, best schools in the area, minutes away from the ocean... All that was missing were signs of life and updated finishes. We instantly agreed on whites & greys; a free standing tub, double vanity, and long-lasting / easy-maintenance tile. We now have a clean white space that can be molded into anyone's perfect bath. White canvas gives opportunity to add color and drama. I call this "Baltic White" because sky reflections and tint in the shower glass cast just enough blue to remind me of snowy winters in Scandinavia. To demonstrate character, I staged with black accessories, a tribal rug and added warmth via walnut tub shelf. Candles and salt rock ground the airy feel and leave us with a balanced space that is as welcoming as it is elegant. Photos - Hale Production Studios
