Originally built in 1955, this modest penthouse apartment typified the small, separated living spaces of its era. The design challenge was how to create a home that reflected contemporary taste and the client’s desire for an environment rich in materials and textures. The keys to updating the space were threefold: break down the existing divisions between rooms; emphasize the connection to the adjoining 850-square-foot terrace; and establish an overarching visual harmony for the home through the use of simple, elegant materials. The renovation preserves and enhances the home’s mid-century roots while bringing the design into the 21st century—appropriate given the apartment’s location just a few blocks from the fairgrounds of the 1962 World’s Fair.

In this transitional-style home timeless elegance meets contemporary comfort. The neutral color palette sets a calming tone, with warm browns, soft beiges, and subtle pops of color. Clean lines and a mix of materials create a sophisticated yet approachable atmosphere. The focal point is a stylish and versatile sofa, adorned with cozy throw pillows in complementary tones. Accompanying furniture, featuring both traditional and modern elements, is strategically placed for a balanced layout. Subtle patterns on area rugs and accent decor add visual interest without overwhelming the room. The transitional family room seamlessly integrates various textures, from smooth leather to plush fabrics, creating an environment that feels both refined and welcoming. The result is a space that effortlessly accommodates both formal gatherings and relaxed family moments.

The Birch's primary closet features a plush carpet that adds a touch of luxury and comfort to the space. The soft and inviting carpeting creates a cozy atmosphere, making it pleasant to walk on while selecting outfits or trying on shoes. Combined with the gray cabinets and silver cabinet hardware, the carpet enhances the overall aesthetic of the closet, providing a stylish and comfortable environment for organizing and storing belongings. Whether you're getting dressed for the day or preparing for a special occasion, the carpeted floor in The Birch's primary closet adds a touch of elegance and coziness to the experience.

A modern, fun, yet sophisticated twist on the traditional farmhouse style design. This family home featured unique and colourful accents and push the boundaries in each area whilst remaining functional and spacious throughout. The classic and slightly rustic kitchen with the bold black and white floor tiles, brings the various styles together in the heart of the home. Numerous entertainment areas and large stackable doors create a bridge between the indoor and outdoor environments, ideal for large family and friend gatherings

Our objective on this project was to create an inviting environment within the master bedroom that fit within the house's overall beach vibe. From a functional perspective, the goal was to maximize storage space for the husband and wife. . We utilized clean white materials to create an open-feeling space and complement the light hardwood floors. We also provided substantial shelving space for the couple to store their large collection of shoes, sweaters and accessories, and we added key accessories like a locking jewelry drawer and tilt out hampers.

This thoughtfully designed home office offers a quiet and comfortable workspace with a clean, refined aesthetic. Soft neutral wall tones pair with plush carpeting to create a calm environment, while a large window brings in natural light and outdoor views. A versatile layout makes this space ideal for focused work or everyday flexibility.

A children's playroom should be a fun and inviting space that encourages play, creativity, and imagination. Bright colors, soft textures, and plenty of toys and games can help create an exciting and comfortable environment. Storage space is also important to keep the room organized and clutter-free. Consider adding a reading nook, art station, or dress-up area to inspire a range of activities. Safety should always be a top priority, so be sure to choose age-appropriate toys and furniture and keep the room free of hazards. Overall, a well-designed playroom can provide hours of entertainment and fun for children of all ages.

A neutral colour palette was the main aspect of the brief setting the tone for a sophisticated and elegant home. The main tile we chose is called "Paris White". It is a light colour tile with darker flecks and gently undulating vein patterning reminiscent of sandy shorelines. It has a smooth matt surface that feels lovely to the touch and is very easy to clean. We used this tile on both the walls and the floor of this Family bathroom. We combined the tile with feature mosaics and pebbles to add interest and texture. The mosaic has glass pieces which catch the light and reflect it. The pebbles have an impeccably smooth feel and while neutral in tone the variance in stone colours create a dynamic interplay. The brushed gold tapware possesses a gentle hue, and its brushed finish exudes a timeless, classic appeal.

Who says grownups have all the fun? Our client wanted to design a special environment for their children to play, learn, and unwind. Kids can have cute rooms too! These mini astronauts are big into space… so we upgraded an existing large, open area to let them zoom from one activity to the next. The parents wanted to keep the wood floors and cabinetry. We repainted the walls in a spa green (to calm those little aliens) and gave the ceiling a fresh coat of white paint. We also brought in playful rugs and furniture to add color and function. The window seats received new cushions and pillows which tied the space together. The teepee and art are just added fun points in matching black and white! Of course, the adults need love too. Mom received a new craft space which is across the playroom. We added white shutters and white walls & trim with a fun pop of pink on the ceiling. The rug is a graphic floral in hues of the spa green (shown in the playroom) with navy and pink (like the ceiling). We added simple white furniture for scrapbooking and crafts with a hit of graphic blue art to complete the space.

This is a great example of taking a less than optimal living space, and turning it into something kid friendly and usable. With the right furniture, any room can become a learning and growing environment.

This "Palatial Villa" is an architectural statement, amidst a sprawling country setting. An elegant, modern revival of the Spanish Tudor style, the high-contrast white stucco and black details pop against the natural backdrop. Round and segmental arches lend an air of European antiquity, and fenestrations are placed providently, to capture picturesque views for the occupants. Massive glass sliding doors and modern high-performance, low-e windows, bathe the interior with natural light and at the same time increase efficiency, with the highest-rated air-leakage and water-penetration resistance. Inside, the lofty ceilings, rustic beam detailing, and wide-open floor-plan inspire a vast feel. Patterned repetition of dark wood and iron elements unify the interior design, creating a dynamic contrast with the white, plaster faux-finish walls. A high-efficiency furnace, heat pump, heated floors, and Control 4 automated environmental controls ensure occupant comfort and safety. The kitchen, wine cellar, and adjoining great room flow naturally into an outdoor entertainment area. A private gym and his-and-hers offices round out a long list of luxury amenities. With thoughtful design and the highest quality craftsmanship in every detail, Palatial Villa stands out as a gleaming jewel, set amongst charming countryside environs.
