This very contemporary translation of a more rustic, organic mood is an artful solution to the desire for naturally-inspired design with a modern touch. It has been designed to fit a range of bathroom decors, but works particular well with out Aquatica Sophia freestanding solid surface bathtub.
The components each feature key elements derived from our surroundings – the warmth of wood and rich earth tones redefined into bathroom fixtures which transcend conformity.
The impressive countertop has been fashioned from natural oak, as if hewn straight out of a solid slab, its slightly irregular, bevelled edges the only concession to detailing. On this, sits the free-standing, gloss white ceramic wash basin, a clever combination of rectangular design and soft curved corners and basin bowl that is both modern and organic at the same time. Ceramic vessel sink has been made in Italy and is available in a sleek, glossy white finish. Constructed using our elegant but strong and durable ceramic material of 1.6 cm thick. The stain resistant qualities and low surface moisture absorbency of this washbasin are functional and easy to clean.
Beneath, the elegant and very useful, clip handle, 3-drawer cabinet, again striking in its simplicity of design and its rich, earth toned matt lacquer finish. The streamlined styling of this cabinet works in perfect harmony with the sink console providing generous storage in both the drawers and cabinet top. The lacquer finish ensures hard-wearing, easy clean, hygienic beauty.
One of the most attractive features of the Aquatica Furniture Composition range is that you can choose from the large palate of colors in your choice of two materials from which to create your own personalized bathroom furniture to suit your mood and decor. For a natural look, select any of five warm natural wood tone veneers for your master bathroom cabinets, shelves and drawers. Maybe it’s the smart, contemporary look of White Millennium or sophisticated Light Grey or Dark Brown you are looking for. Perhaps you prefer the rich golden timber hues of Honey Sherwood or Tobacco Sherwood. You can go bright and modern with a range of stunning lacquered colors which bring a playful tone to a children’s or teens bathroom or make a more dramatic statement in an adult bathroom with a real Wow factor. Here, you’re certainly spoilt for choice with colors spanning the full spectrum from White and Cream to Light, Mid or Dark Grey and Black, with Luscious Yellow, Orange, Coral, Red, Cobalt Blue, Pistacchio Green or Olive Green in between, in either smooth matt or high sheen gloss finish. Or you can combine both solid colors with softer wood grains, with matt and gloss finishes to create beautiful bathroom furniture that is uniquely you.

THE DOOR NAME ORIGIN - "PALLADIO TRE SOLID"
FINISH: WHITE
This is a bit tricky. Isn’t White the default finish that would look great on any interior door? Well, not quite.
W. is the color most often associated with perfection, honesty, cleanliness, newness, neutrality, and exactitude. The pigment has been known and used by humans since prehistoric times. In ancient Egypt, W. symbolized purity. Roman patricians paraded around in W. togas to distinguish themselves from the common folk. It was the color of choice of French monarchs. Architects of all epochs used W., with considerable enthusiasm, in various projects and for various reasons. In the United States, architects favored it when designing churches, capitols, and municipal buildings – which is, in fact, a tradition they inherited from classical and Renaissance architecture. According to some experts, most of the buildings in the celebrated Forum were either made of, or clad in, W. marble. In Taoism, it represents the yang or masculine energy, one of the two complementary natures of the universe. Many authors, both classical and contemporary, have referred to W. as a sign of purity, either physical (like William Shakespeare, whose treacherous usurper monarch wishes a heavenly rain would cleanse his blood-stained hand, washing it “white as snow”) or spiritual (like Tennessee Williams, who named his lead character Blanche (derived, incidentally, from the Germanic word blanc)) as a symbol of her innocent child-like spirit, perceptible from the moment she makes her first entrance (through the interior door stage-left).
Back in the Seventeenth Century, Sir Isaac Newton discovered that sunlight is composed of light with wavelengths across the visible spectrum which the human eye perceives as W. It is the lightest of the spectrum, and achromatic (hue-less) to boot, because it fully reflects and scatters all visible wavelengths of light, absorbing none. W. objects stand out in the dark. Depending on the surroundings, an interior door with W. finish might come off as emphatic or tactful, dominant or complementary. It blends seamlessly into most types of decor and, once the owner’s needs and disposition are taken into account, can symbolize - oh, so many different things, while bringing back a myriad memories: from those glorious snowy Alpine slopes and peaks to the fluffy tops of the wayward herd of cumulus cloud heap over the horizon on a balmy afternoon in the Caribbean. Tropical sand beaches are W. due to the high quantity of calcium carbonate they get from tiny bits of seashells ground to powder by the waves. In a number of cultures W. can also symbolize festivity, and be used lavishly to brighten up weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries. It is beautiful. Make sure it goes well with your interior door model, though.

St. Andrews Project — Primary Bedroom & Architectural Fireplace
This St. Andrews primary bedroom is designed as a serene architectural retreat, balancing softness and warmth with the refined contemporary language established throughout the home. Rather than relying on decorative excess, the room derives its character from proportion, material continuity, natural light, and carefully integrated architectural details.
The fireplace wall acts as a sculptural divider and focal point within the open bedroom suite. Framed in a softly veined stone, the fireplace introduces a natural, organic pattern against the otherwise restrained white interior. Its placement allows the architectural feature to define the sleeping area while maintaining visual connection to the adjoining spaces, creating a sense of openness without sacrificing intimacy.
The vertical fluted treatment surrounding the fireplace adds texture and subtle rhythm to the wall plane. This detailing continues the language established elsewhere in the residence, creating a cohesive thread between the kitchen, living areas, and bedroom. The fine vertical lines catch the ambient light beautifully and give the architectural volume a sense of height and refinement.
A restrained palette of warm whites, pale natural wood, soft taupe, charcoal, and black creates a calm and sophisticated atmosphere. The natural oak flooring brings warmth underfoot and prevents the predominantly white architecture from feeling cold. Black-framed windows provide a crisp architectural contrast while drawing the surrounding greenery into the composition, making the exterior landscape an important part of the bedroom's visual experience.
Lighting is intentionally layered rather than decorative. Recessed fixtures provide functional illumination, while concealed perimeter lighting washes the ceiling with a soft warm glow. This indirect illumination emphasizes the room's architectural proportions and creates a more intimate atmosphere in the evening.
The furnishings are deliberately understated, allowing texture and form to carry the design. Soft bedding, layered textiles, sculptural cushions, and organic neutral tones create a sense of comfort while maintaining the sophisticated visual discipline of the architecture. The patterned textiles introduce just enough graphic contrast to prevent the monochromatic palette from becoming flat.
The overall concept is one of quiet luxury through architectural restraint. The room combines custom detailing, natural materials, integrated lighting, and carefully controlled contrast to create a retreat that feels contemporary yet timeless. Every element is considered as part of a larger architectural composition, resulting in a primary bedroom that is calm, elegant, highly livable, and seamlessly connected to the design language of the York Mills residence.

AK4002: "The Pour" Skinny Rain
DESCRIPTION:
The light installation is a teardrop-shaped chandelier with deliciously unique lights that celebrate the fascinating nature of raindrops, where no drop is the same as the next. Each drop is hand-blown by artisans and intricately engineered to house the lighting strategy for the chandelier. When you see a light sculpture designed to increase the visual appeal of a room and define its luminous character, you stop on your way to admire it. It’s the case of the Raindrop chandelier known as “The Pour”, a modern light sculpture meant to illuminate and beautify its chosen location to create an architectural relationship with space. The drop itself is constructed of two parts: the brass screw cap, which houses the light, and the hand-blown crystal reflecting the light to create puddles on the floor below. To replicate the nature of raindrops, no two drops are blown identical. The name “The Pour” derives from the distinctive shape that the chandelier forms: an exaggeration of the dramatic motion of water pouring out of a carafe. Designed by forming a grid mimicking how puddles ripple outward in concentric circles, each teardrop is hung to brass pipes of varying lengths. Placed strategically on the grid, the teardrops lock into the mirrored base that fits seamlessly between the two existing columns. The mirrored base reflects the teardrops endlessly into the sky above and when lit. The chandelier echoes rain frozen in time with ephemeral puddles overlaid on the floor below.

7RR-Ecohome:
The design objective was to build a house for a couple recently married who both had kids from previous marriages. How to bridge two families together?
The design looks forward in terms of how people live today. The home is an experiment in transparency and solid form; removing borders and edges from outside to inside the house, and to really depict “flowing and endless space”. The house floor plan is derived by pushing and pulling the house’s form to maximize the backyard and minimize the public front yard while welcoming the sun in key rooms by rotating the house 45-degrees to true north. The angular form of the house is a result of the family’s program, the zoning rules, the lot’s attributes, and the sun’s path. We wanted to construct a house that is smart and efficient in terms of construction and energy, both in terms of the building and the user. We could tell a story of how the house is built in terms of the constructability, structure and enclosure, with a nod to Japanese wood construction in the method in which the siding is installed and the exposed interior beams are placed in the double height space. We engineered the house to be smart which not only looks modern but acts modern; every aspect of user control is simplified to a digital touch button, whether lights, shades, blinds, HVAC, communication, audio, video, or security. We developed a planning module based on a 6-foot square room size and a 6-foot wide connector called an interstitial space for hallways, bathrooms, stairs and mechanical, which keeps the rooms pure and uncluttered. The house is 6,200 SF of livable space, plus garage and basement gallery for a total of 9,200 SF. A large formal foyer celebrates the entry and opens up to the living, dining, kitchen and family rooms all focused on the rear garden. The east side of the second floor is the Master wing and a center bridge connects it to the kid’s wing on the west. Second floor terraces and sunscreens provide views and shade in this suburban setting. The playful mathematical grid of the house in the x, y and z axis also extends into the layout of the trees and hard-scapes, all centered on a suburban one-acre lot.
Many green attributes were designed into the home; Ipe wood sunscreens and window shades block out unwanted solar gain in summer, but allow winter sun in. Patio door and operable windows provide ample opportunity for natural ventilation throughout the open floor plan. Minimal windows on east and west sides to reduce heat loss in winter and unwanted gains in summer. Open floor plan and large window expanse reduces lighting demands and maximizes available daylight. Skylights provide natural light to the basement rooms. Durable, low-maintenance exterior materials include stone, ipe wood siding and decking, and concrete roof pavers. Design is based on a 2' planning grid to minimize construction waste. Basement foundation walls and slab are highly insulated. FSC-certified walnut wood flooring was used. Light colored concrete roof pavers to reduce cooling loads by as much as 15%. 2x6 framing allows for more insulation and energy savings. Super efficient windows have low-E argon gas filled units, and thermally insulated aluminum frames. Permeable brick and stone pavers reduce the site’s storm-water runoff. Countertops use recycled composite materials. Energy-Star rated furnaces and smart thermostats are located throughout the house to minimize duct runs and avoid energy loss. Energy-Star rated boiler that heats up both radiant floors and domestic hot water. Low-flow toilets and plumbing fixtures are used to conserve water usage. No VOC finish options and direct venting fireplaces maintain a high interior air quality. Smart home system controls lighting, HVAC, and shades to better manage energy use. Plumbing runs through interior walls reducing possibilities of heat loss and freezing problems. A large food pantry was placed next to kitchen to reduce trips to the grocery store. Home office reduces need for automobile transit and associated CO2 footprint. Plan allows for aging in place, with guest suite than can become the master suite, with no need to move as family members mature.

- BIFRONTE SIDE TABLE. The Ripples bench by Toyo Ito, winner of the 2004 Golden Compass, has blossomed into a collection of different furniture complements. Amongst them, we may highlight the Bifronte side table, where a small portion of Ripples is framed in a shelf of extra clear glass, creating a ''trompe l'oeil'' effect of mid-air suspension. Bifronte becomes a nightstand with the addition of a capacious drawer on wheels. This presents white lacquered and walnut fronts, to better integrate with the overall chromatic disposition of the sleeping area.
