One of the biggest challenges in the apartment was its really long and linear layout, so the zoning of spaces became quite unnerving. We used furniture and art to help with that. The sectional couch was the anchor piece and almost created an invisible line to demarcate the living area. A large round coffee table was placed off of that so that circulation is a non issue, with a custom-made credenza (which doubles as a shoe rack and a tv unit) opposite it to balance the room. We painted it a glossy white so it disappears into the wall and doesn’t feel like it is encroaching into the thoroughfare. The rug is a Sham Ahuja hand-me-down, that had been marinating in flood water for a couple of months, but we managed to salvage it and it brings the right amount of colour into the room.

Primary Bedroom remodel with an adjoining Primary Bath addition. A space-saving track door separates the elegantly minimalist bedroom, where a Samsung Frame TV offers modern entertainment without encroaching on the room’s aesthetic. The en suite bath features a thermostatic brass rain shower and handheld spray, complemented by a toiletry ledge designed to accommodate items of any size. The deep, wide soaking tub, framed with a wooden apron, offers a serene view of the outdoors, creating a sense of closeness to nature. A freestanding white oak double vanity with a Carrara marble top, wall-mounted faucets, and mirrored medicine cabinets maintain a sleek, minimalist look while keeping essentials within easy reach. The adjoining walk-in closet is outfitted with custom shelving that not only meets all storage needs but also enhances the room’s overall appeal.

Where many builders may have just suggested the addition of another hardscape space, Archadeck thinks outside the box. Inevitably, it is feasible that just adding another patio to the same area could lead to the same uplift or cracking down the road due to the roots of the trees present on, and surrounding the property. It is even a safe bet that other builders may have even suggested the tree located in the backyard be removed to ensure no future encroachment. Our designers realized the ambiance, shade and beauty the tree provided to not only the backyard but also to the home. We also know that installing another patio was just not the solution. Factoring each element and listening to the homeowner’s desires carefully, and thoughtfully, we suggested a new deck addition instead.

This stunning Carriage House, built in 1903, inspired our team to honor its history and alchemize the feeling of a natural haven on-site through our design choices. The front lawn was converted to a habitat-rich meadow with flowering natives such as Agastache foeniculum (Anise hyssop), Rudbeckia fulgida (Black-Eyed Susan), and Clethra alnifolia ‘Ruby Spice’ (Summersweet). A fern-filled woodland (including Polystichum acrostichoides and Athyrium filix-femina), was installed in the shady side beds. Despite development encroaching upon this treasured spot over the decades, thoughtful landscape design and maintenance has helped retain its age-old beauty and charm.

This project began with a sketch from our client that they'd received from a friend. It gave us a general idea of what they wanted but adjustments needed to be made for us to keep the renovation within budget. There were plenty of challenges in the designing and building stages. Early on, we learned the main structure of this 1940s house was encroaching the building restriction line. To remain within zoning limits, we needed to have two corners of the new addition slightly out of square. The new structure, cantilevered on both sides, required a heavy 45-degree angle beam to carry the load of the second floor and the roof. We equipped the house with central AC and expanded the existing hydronic heating system into the new space. The completed addition resulted in a shared music room and in-law suite with a bathroom on the first floor, and a master bedroom, bath, and hall bath on the second floor.

Want to create an open-concept floor plan like our Whitby based clients? Invite better communication, create more space and improve natural light flow with the removal of a load-bearing wall. The obstructive basement stairway encroached on the new kitchen lay out, so we restructured and relocated it to create for an integrated finish without compromising either. Finally, we installed stained maple treads and wall mounted handrail to match the flooring. A handy footwear nook completed the entryway, no more tripping over countless pairs of shoes! Finally, we installed solid maple kitchen cabinets, an island with integrated wine storage and complemented the look with a stainless-steel apron sink and appliances. Other updates included trim and doors throughout, as well as a shower room upgrade. Are you looking to update/open up your own home? We can assist with design as well as prepare a no obligation quotation for the work. Please call Matt to set up an onsite consultation (289) 675 7366

The bedroom had super heavy drapery that darkened the room and took up too much space. In addition, a wood-burning fireplace encroached farther than was desirable. We switched this out to electric (who wants the hassle of a wood-burning fireplace in the bedroom?!) and designed a clean and modern surround and mantle with a flat, more minimal presence in the room. This bright, dreamy master bedroom features comfortable, warm details and sleek, modern design choices. We elevated the space with new furniture from RH, handsome window treatments, and newly appointed artwork for a bright and cheerful room that exudes comfort. It's the perfect environment to unwind, read a good book, and get a good night's sleep.
