Complete kitchen remodel. The footprint of the kitchen that we started with had it broken into several areas that did not work together. Previous additions had unusable space and separation of key elements so the kitchen was not even functional. After removing walls and cabinets to create one open space we were able to give the clients a large kitchen with a functional layout that finally worked for them.

This new construction home tells a story through it’s clean lines and alluring details. Our clients, a young family moving from the city, wanted to create a timeless home for years to come. Working closely with the builder and our team, their dream home came to life. Key elements include the large island, black accents, tile design and eye-catching fixtures throughout. This project will always be one of our favorites.

The key elements of natural light, the warmth of maple, shiplap detailing, and metal accents were strategically combined to create this kitchen full of functionality while remaining aesthetically pleasing.

Stunning master bedroom design. Elegant, sophisticated and beautiful is what this room is all about. A color palette spa, taupe, cream and gray are the perfect setting for this busy couple to unwind and relax. Tones of soft warm gray lead up to the tray which is highlighted by the beautiful flocked iridescent wallpaper. A laying of textures, neutrals with subtle color along with deliberately placed accents are the key elements to this space. The homeowners are thrilled with our latest project!

Statement wallpaper and a custom, frameless beveled glass mirror are just a few key elements in this gorgeous master bathroom refresh. We used a moody navy to give new life to old tile, and installed a bright white vanity to to provide a fresh feel. Brushed Gold lighting and faucets deliver a beautiful accent for a finished look.

A real treat to work on this project as Art Director with The Property Brothers. This home was transformed from a very dated and gloomy space to a bright, elegant Urban retreat in the heart of The Danforth! Various layers of colour and texture were key elements in creating a home filled with life, warmth and style for a young family to enjoy!

This bathroom is a great example of a transitional design that blends the best of both worlds. The warm wood vanity and tall linen cabinet provide a timeless and inviting feel, while the clean lines and minimalist hardware lean into a modern aesthetic. The white countertop and large gray floor tiles offer a neutral and sophisticated base. The lighting fixtures are a key element, with their brass finish and clear glass globes combining vintage charm with a contemporary silhouette. This mix of warm and cool tones, and classic and modern shapes, is a hallmark of the transitional style that Northland often showcases.

Craig Bergmann Landscape Design was commissioned by the owner of this historic 1908 estate to develop a fresh, artistic re-interpretation of the existing gardens. An upper and lower garden room and stroll garden were redesigned with the key elements of running water, cool stone and shaded areas to preserve the garden’s original intent. A narrow rill connects two pools where water flows from the Upper Garden down to the Lower. Layering of foliage was as important as coordination of bloom times in order to achieve the sensuous, Moorish feel of the garden. The Stroll Garden plant collection, in contrast to the summer display of the Upper and Lower Gardens, was chosen for a spring flower display moving to a more textural foliage garden in summer.

Black siding transformed this home in Maple Grove. This project left a lasting impression, transforming a home with worn and outdated vinyl siding which had been damaged by hail and Minnesota’s harsh climate, in a lakeside retreat. The homeowners sought a fresh look that would elevate both the aesthetic and functionality of their property, making the most of the beautiful lakeside views. The first major update involved replacing the tired vinyl siding with James Hardie board and batten siding in the striking Shou Sugi Ban color. This deep, rich color brings an elegant, modern look to the home, offering both timeless appeal and exceptional durability. The board and batten style adds texture and sophistication, making the home stand out in the neighborhood. To complement the dark siding, light-colored cultured stone was added to the front and lakeside, creating a beautiful contrast and enhancing the home’s curb appeal. The cultured stone not only adds a natural, rustic feel but also integrates seamlessly with the overall design, providing a warm, inviting entrance and lakeside view. Another key element of the remodel was the transformation of the home’s windows. A bank of smaller windows was removed, replaced by a massive Marvin window that now serves as the focal point of the living room, offering unobstructed views of the serene lake. The project also included the removal of several diamond-shaped windows and a six-foot patio door, which were replaced with a sleek 16-foot patio door. This new installation opened up the space, flooding the home with natural light and creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoor beauty of the lake. With these updates, the home in Maple Grove is now a stunning showcase of modern design and functionality, blending sophisticated materials with breathtaking views.

The mandate was to fabricate and install a bespoken wrought iron handrail for a property located in Notre-Dame-de-Grace, Montreal. The goal was to make the space safe and in compliance with the city regulations site plan and architectural integration and safety standards governed by the Building Code and add an aesthetic finish while being functional and adapted to the needs of the client and their lifestyle. Ignis Inferni Forge's role there was to design, manufacture and install the railing components for the client. Efficiency in the design, high quality craftsmanship and attention to the finest details were key elements to the success of this project.

This living room had no accessories. The client was keeping the flame stitch wing back chairs and blue upholstered camel back sofa. The task at hand was to first choose paint color for the room and find the area rug to complete accessorizing. The rug colors were a key element in completing the style of this space.

With their timeless aesthetic, traditional craftsmanship and quality materials. The unorthodox approach to glazing was a key element. Replacing the norm with antique mirrored glass, working harmoniously with the property’s original Victorian features and hand-distressed painted walls. The continuous, period skirting board was carried through the door set by implementing a kickplate panel creating a flow through the space. Original arched sash windows adorn the rear elevation of the sitting room, and these design cues were echoed in the Fabco door shape. Through the double doors, a grand kitchen space awaits, designed and manufactured by the team at deVOL Kitchens. Noting the change in aesthetic, the kitchen side solely reveals the double door, squaring off the surrounding screen and mimicking the shape of the adjacent windows and cabinetry. The Fabco hardware, designed and manufactured in the UK by Frank Allart, was selected to compliment the hardware used throughout the kitchen. The door handle finish was specified to match in Satin Brass Unlacquered, on the 55 series ironmongery from Frank Allart.

This newly constructed open floor plan home with a large finished basement is ideal for this fun-loving couple. We were fortunate to be included in the very beginning stages of construction space planning to optimize room placement, layout, and spacing. From there, we worked side-by-side with homeowners and contractor in selecting all of the details from floors and doors to lighting and window treatments. These empty nesters love to entertain. Both the main level and the downstairs offer great flow. A bit of luxury was added in the master bathroom with this soaker tub and custom tile shower.
