Client Objectives The homeowners wanted to create a more open and connected kitchen that better supported their daily routines and love of cooking. A key priority was removing walls to improve flow between spaces while maintaining structural integrity. They also desired increased pantry storage, a dedicated coffee station, a larger sink, improved ventilation for cooking, and a more cohesive connection to the nearby powder room. The overall aesthetic goal was to blend traditional warmth with modern functionality through rich wood tones, subtle color, and timeless finishes. Our Solution We developed a kitchen design focused on openness, organization, and functionality. By exploring the removal of existing walls and reconfiguring adjacent spaces, the layout creates improved sightlines and circulation while maximizing storage opportunities. Dedicated pantry solutions, a custom coffee bar, a large island, upgraded lighting, and enhanced ventilation support the family’s everyday needs, while warm cabinetry, updated flooring, and thoughtful finishes create a welcoming environment that balances traditional and contemporary design elements. Special Features Open-concept layout with structural beam integration, a large kitchen island with plenty of storage, dedicated coffee bar area, large pantry with pull-out shelving, oversized kitchen sink, professional-grade vent hood with exterior exhaust, recessed lighting throughout, pendant lighting, warm wood and painted cabinetry, new LVP flooring, preserved gas cooking setup, updated connection to the powder room, soffit removal, and expanded storage solutions throughout the kitchen and adjacent spaces.

A dilapidated addition at the rear of this Glebe home was removed and replaced. The floor area was increased which made it possible to substantially increase the size of the kitchen while improving the visual connection to the quiet park and pond adjacent to the property. The room exudes a calm elegance; subtle paint colours and white oak flooring create a tranquil atmosphere, while trim and plaster mouldings are used to highlight and define openings. Two doorways link the kitchen to the formal dining room – making entertaining and hosting dinner parties a dream. Traditional and antique fixtures and furnishings such as the armoire, the table and chairs in the breakfast nook, glass-fronted cabinetry, and European style windows all enhance the old world charm of the house. The kitchen features a bay window and sitting area which has picturesque views of the park. A French door gives direct access to the back terrace. A sleek black and stainless faucet and dramatic chandelier create contrast in the all-white kitchen. Caesarstone countertops, glass-front cabinets, and crown mouldings tie into the home’s Parisian-inspired interior. Photography: Adrien Williams

The saying goes that a kitchen is the main focal point of a home, it's a place where everyone gathers and connects, the same saying can go for a home's backyard. In the initial stages of the remodel the home owner wasn't quite sure a pool was necessary, but Sean, the owner of Regal construction advised that a pool would be nice touch. Not only did this result in an increase in value to the home, but one can see the aesthetic benefits presented to guests and the home owner.

Nearly every inch of this 1908 Ravenna home was upgraded, and the interior layout was re-envisioned. On the main floor, the kitchen and dining room locations were swapped to connect the kitchen to the living room. A spa-like bathroom was added upstairs to create an inviting new master suite, with heated floors, a double vanity, and a large shower. A spacious walk-in closet with a custom-designed organization system completes the luxurious appointments. The basement was dug down for increased head height, and a new laundry room, bedroom, and bonus room were added. All new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems were installed, and the exterior was refreshed, with all new siding and rebuilt porches, including high-end composite decking and railings. The home is now an oasis, welcoming its owners and guests with gleaming new hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry and mill work, professional-grade appliances, layered lighting, and a gorgeous and warming soapstone fireplace surround.

This bright and light kitchen project required us extending the kitchen into the dinette area and removing a window to get a better flow. Luckily there were 3 large windows, so we decided removing one wouldn't significantly decrease the amount of natural light. It was a good trade for form and function. We were able to increase the work surfaces to create a much more useable kitchen that fit all the necessities and even had room for extra. We added pull outs and functional accessories to make it an easy to use space. We supplemented the natural light with a solar tube and plenty of installed light with 2 sizes of adjustable output and temperature LED ceiling cans for layers of light. We also increased the size of the opening between the kitchen and new dining/living room area to provide a better connection of the spaces.

Our design for the expansion and gut renovation of a small 1200 square foot house in a residential neighborhood triples is size, and reworks the living arrangement. The rear addition takes advantage of southern exposure with a "greenhouse" room that provides solar heat gain in winter, shading in summer, and a vast connection to the rear yard. Architecturally, we used an approach we call "willful practicality." The new soaring ceiling ties together first and second floors in a dramatic volumetric expansion of space, while providing increased ventilation and daylighting from greenhouse to operable windows and skylights at the peak. Exterior pockets of space are created from curved forces pushing in from outside to form cedar clad porch and stoop. Sustainable design is employed throughout all materials, energy systems and insulation. Masonry exterior walls and concrete floors provide thermal mass for the interior by insulating the exterior. An ERV system facilitates increased air changes and minimizes changes to the interior air temperature. Energy and water saving features and renewable, non-toxic materal selections are important aspects of the house design. Environmental community issues are addressed with a drywell in the side yard to mitigate rain runoff into the town sewer system. The long sloping south facing roof is in anticipation of future solar panels, with the standing seam metal roof providing anchoring opportunities for the panels. The exterior walls are clad in stucco, cedar, and cement-fiber panels defining different areas of the house. Closed cell spray insulation is applied to exterior walls and roof, giving the house an "air-tight" seal against air infiltration and a high R-value. The ERV system provides the ventilation needed with this tight envelope. The interior comfort level and economizing are the beneficial results of the building methods and systems employed in the house. Photographer: Peter Kubilus
