A sophisticated palette of ivory, powder blue, blush pink, and warm gold creates an inviting atmosphere while maintaining the polished character of a high-end interior.

Large glass doors connect the living room to the outdoors and fill the space with natural light, highlighting the wide-plank wood flooring, custom window treatments, layered textiles, and traditional architectural millwork. The combination of classic details with contemporary furnishings gives the room a fresh interpretation of traditional luxury interior design. This sophisticated space demonstrates how transitional interior design, custom furnishings, designer lighting, statement artwork, architectural details, and layered textures can come together to create a living room that feels elegant, comfortable, and timeless.

Open concept kitchen - large contemporary l-shaped concrete floor open concept kitchen idea in Ottawa with flat-panel cabinets, white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, an island, an undermount sink, solid surface countertops and white backsplash

The major objective of this home was to craft something entirely unique; based on our client’s international travels, and tailored to their ideal lifestyle. Every detail, selection and method was individual to this project. The design included personal touches like a dog shower for their Great Dane, a bar downstairs to entertain, and a TV tucked away in the den instead of on display in the living room. Great design doesn’t just happen. It’s a product of work, thought and exploration. For our clients, they looked to hotels they love in New York and Croatia, Danish design, and buildings that are architecturally artistic and ideal for displaying art. Our part was to take these ideas and actually build them. Every door knob, hinge, material, color, etc. was meticulously researched and crafted. Most of the selections are custom built either by us, or by hired craftsman.

Closeup of the undercounter ice maker. We custom made all of the kitchen cabinetry and shelving. The kitchen was a small area so maximizing usable space with function and design was crucial. The island was our biggest challenge. It needed to house several appliances of different size, a farmhouse sink and be able to have function from all 4 sides and still have room for seating space on the backside. The sink side has the farmhouse sink centered with storage drawers to the right that feature wood organizers and a double middle drawer to help hold all the small utensils and still maintain the 3 drawer look from the front view that matches the integrated dishwasher to the left. The right side contains both the integrated soft close trash unit and an icemaker with a third false panel door to maintain the size balance for all three. The left side houses the Sub Zero undercounter freezer. I wanted the face to look like six equal sized drawers, which left the integrated drawer fronts for the freezer overlapping the side panel for the dishwasher. The back of the island has storage tucked up under the seating space. The quartz countertop meets up against the maple butcher block to create a stunning island top. All in all the end result of this kitchen is a beautiful space with wonderful function. Photos: Kimball Ungerman
