Thoughtful Details integrated the living spaces seamlessly with the redesigned kitchen. Creamy swiss coffee perimeter cabinets sit sidelines allowing the massive deep blue island to take center stage. The deep blue carries into the bank of cabinets separating the sitting room and offering plenty of storage and countertops space. The kitchen’s large scale allowed space for a 48’’ gas range and stylish wine bar. The dining area, now more accessible and inviting, promises to be the backdrop for countless memorable gatherings.

Dark wood, marble tones, and brushed gold details came together beautifully in this master bathroom renovation. ?✨ We transformed the space into a much more open and functional layout featuring a large walk-in shower, freestanding tub, custom bench, recessed shower niche, rainfall shower head, frameless glass, and warm wood-look porcelain tile carried throughout the design. The contrast between the marble-look tile and deep wood tones gives this bathroom a warm, modern feel without making it feel cold or overly minimal. One of our favorite details has to be the glass-block feature behind the tub. It keeps the natural light while becoming part of the design itself.?☀️

A bright, functional galley kitchen extends into a connected mudroom passage, where everyday family life meets thoughtful design. Shaker-style white cabinetry with polished chrome pulls lines both walls, paired with a warm stone countertop and a linear tile backsplash that carries the eye toward a wide window framing an open sky view. A stainless farmhouse-style sink with a gooseneck faucet anchors the workspace, while integrated stainless appliances keep the look clean and cohesive. Beyond the kitchen, warm terracotta tile flooring and a built-in mudroom nook offer a natural transition space for coats and shoes, blending everyday practicality with the home's light, airy character.

In 2025, we completed a full bathroom remodel in this Toronto home, fully gutting the space and reimagining it with a walk-in shower, custom cabinetry, gold finishes, and refined tile details. Sliding pocket doors were added for easy, discreet access to the laundry area. We returned in 2026 to carry the transformation through the main and upper floors, updating the guest bathroom and main floor powder room. The entire staircase was redone, alongside all new flooring, custom mudroom cabinetry, and updated tiling throughout. A standout feature wall under the stairs incorporates hidden doors leading to the basement and powder room, blending function seamlessly into the design.

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.

Designed with an open floor plan and layered outdoor spaces, the Onaway is a perfect cottage for narrow lakefront lots. The exterior features elements from both the Shingle and Craftsman architectural movements, creating a warm cottage feel. An open main level skillfully disguises this narrow home by using furniture arrangements and low built-ins to define each spaces’ perimeter. Every room has a view to each other as well as a view of the lake. The cottage feel of this home’s exterior is carried inside with a neutral, crisp white, and blue nautical themed palette. The kitchen features natural wood cabinetry and a long island capped by a pub height table with chairs. Above the garage, and separate from the main house, is a series of spaces for plenty of guests to spend the night. The symmetrical bunk room features custom staircases to the top bunks with drawers built in. The best views of the lakefront are found on the master bedrooms private deck, to the rear of the main house. The open floor plan continues downstairs with two large gathering spaces opening up to an outdoor covered patio complete with custom grill pit.
