Located in the Casa Loma area of Toronto, these loft conversions used to be an old Toronto Hydro Building. Our client had downsized from a traditional four-bedroom home. Our mission was to make these 12' ceilings feel homey and maintain a more contemporary design than her previous home. We painted, wallpapered, draped, added beautiful lighting, and furnished the new home for her and her family. Mission accomplished!

Home design - modern home design idea in London

Example of a kitchen design in London

As you move through the hallway and into the extension, a larger aperture with sliding doors, and three fixed frameless skylights are revealed, together evoking a wonderful sculptural quality and allowing an abundance of natural daylight to wash indoors. Within the extension is a beautifully handcrafted kitchen, space for a large dining table next to the sliding doors, and a small seating area overlooking the garden; it’s a comfortable, modern and inspiring space.

Our clients had been in their home since the early 1980’s and decided it was time for some updates. We took on the kitchen, two bathrooms and a powder room. This petite master bathroom primarily had storage and space planning challenges. Since the wife uses a larger bath down the hall, this bath is primarily the husband’s domain and was designed with his needs in mind. We started out by converting an existing alcove tub to a new shower since the tub was never used. The custom shower base and decorative tile are now visible through the glass shower door and help to visually elongate the small room. A Kohler tailored vanity provides as much storage as possible in a small space, along with a small wall niche and large medicine cabinet to supplement. “Wood” plank tile, specialty wall covering and the darker vanity and glass accents give the room a more masculine feel as was desired. Floor heating and 1 piece ceramic vanity top add a bit of luxury to this updated modern feeling space.

The conversion of this iconic American barn into a Writer’s Studio was conceived of as a tranquil retreat with natural light and lush views to stimulate inspiration for both husband and wife. Originally used as a garage with two horse stalls, the existing stick framed structure provided a loft with ideal space and orientation for a secluded studio. Signature barn features were maintained and enhanced such as horizontal siding, trim, large barn doors, cupola, roof overhangs, and framing. New features added to compliment the contextual significance and sustainability aspect of the project were reclaimed lumber from a razed barn used as flooring, driftwood retrieved from the shores of the Hudson River used for trim, and distressing / wearing new wood finishes creating an aged look. Along with the efforts for maintaining the historic character of the barn, modern elements were also incorporated into the design to provide a more current ensemble based on its new use. Elements such a light fixtures, window configurations, plumbing fixtures and appliances were all modernized to appropriately represent the present way of life.

This project combines high end earthy elements with elegant, modern furnishings. We wanted to re invent the beach house concept and create an home which is not your typical coastal retreat. By combining stronger colors and textures, we gave the spaces a bolder and more permanent feel. Yet, as you travel through each room, you can't help but feel invited and at home.

Garage - farmhouse detached two-car garage idea in Providence

The renovated open, contemporary loft dining room of a previously commercial to residential conversion from the 1970s. Although the project required a complete layout change, the client wanted a clean modern open loft space. What did we keep? We refinished the original maple floors but bleached them to an elegant, light hue, and the open dining room and living area literally show off the great bones of the space - a structural column and grid of ceiling beams add visual interest and ceiling height while celebrating the building's industrial roots.

ADU or Granny Flats are supposed to create a living space that is comfortable and that doesn’t sacrifice any necessary amenity. The best ADUs also have a style or theme that makes it feel like its own separate house. This ADU located in Studio City is an example of just that. It creates a cozy Sunday ambiance that fits the LA lifestyle perfectly. Call us today @1-888-977-9490
