This cozy lake cottage skillfully incorporates a number of features that would normally be restricted to a larger home design. A glance of the exterior reveals a simple story and a half gable running the length of the home, enveloping the majority of the interior spaces. To the rear, a pair of gables with copper roofing flanks a covered dining area that connects to a screened porch. Inside, a linear foyer reveals a generous staircase with cascading landing. Further back, a centrally placed kitchen is connected to all of the other main level entertaining spaces through expansive cased openings. A private study serves as the perfect buffer between the homes master suite and living room. Despite its small footprint, the master suite manages to incorporate several closets, built-ins, and adjacent master bath complete with a soaker tub flanked by separate enclosures for shower and water closet. Upstairs, a generous double vanity bathroom is shared by a bunkroom, exercise space, and private bedroom. The bunkroom is configured to provide sleeping accommodations for up to 4 people. The rear facing exercise has great views of the rear yard through a set of windows that overlook the copper roof of the screened porch below.

A brand new home is an opportunity to create from scratch and showcase the client’s style. This beautiful home backs onto the golf course providing gorgeous views while standing at the kitchen sink. The inspiration started from the helix mullion glass door cabinets. Careful attention to detail was given to create the layering of mouldings between the doors, crown, trims and base. Creating a streamline space was a necessity with a large kitchen. The distance between the fridge and sink is greater than normal but having a small sink on the island is incredibly helpful for preparation of meals. The follow of design between the kitchen and butler’s pantry was also important, and, was achieved with the use of helix doors.

This is the first time I have ever staged with a more aggressive curtain colour and pattern. I just felt that this room needed something because I was bringing in so much white. If you are planning on putting your home on the market or you just want to make it feel more welcoming, give us a call. We work all over the Montreal area including Laval and the south shore.

Drawing on utility farm buildings, the design of this house is direct in it’s form and organization. Located in a dense St. Paul neighborhood on a narrow 39’ wide lot, the house draws equally from it’s turn of the century neighbors for scale and materiality. The 20’ wide shotgun structure allowed the house to be pushed to the east, opening up the west wall for large windows and the opportunity for an outdoor room. This changed what is normally “nowhere” space between houses into an active extension of the home used to BBQ, play catch, and afford pleasant transition from front to back. Life plays out in the home within three space, the living/dining, the kitchen/breakfast, and the porch/outdoor room. All three are used daily either actively or borrowed. Each is clearly defined and connected to the others through the careful placement or absence of walls or corners, and made more expansive by increased height, defined sightlines, and exposed structure Architect: Ben Awes AIA

This amazing hardwood is build for the most challenging of climates! Although available in 6" 7"& 8" wide planks as seen here, the meticulous construction provides excellent dimensional stability and a durable surface that easily stands up to normal wear while offering an exquisite finish. Our favorite part is the unique squared nosings that further enhance the beauty of this product.

The extreme change in grade across a shallow lot presented challenges for the design of this contemporary home. The solution was found in an unconventional way, by locating the front door on the lower level of the home. This would normally be a problem, but here the floating staircase and interconnected floor levels allow people on main floor to see who is coming to the front door below. The open stairwell immediately welcomes visitors into the main floor living area where the kitchen, living and dining areas are located, and washes the space with southern light.
