This Project was loads of fun and challenging... the clients allow me to use creative concepts to cosmetically hide obstacles such as heat trunks, jogged foundation walls and steel columns. The large solid maple serving wet bar was hand crafted and lounge fireplace wall where off set with one another. We wanted them to look and feel to be adjoining space yet still define the game table and media space to be its own. Although it was all one large open space, we tied the entire space together by the ceiling work and boxed a steel post to mimic the finishes of the wet bar. Simple concept but meticulously planned and executed!

On one end of her kitchen, our customer had a fireplace. The other side of this fireplace faces the living room. With the hearth being raised, it impeded traffic in a tight part of the room. She asked us to remove the brick hearth and create a new hearth that is flush with the floor.

This mid-town Toronto couple with university-aged children decided to transform their backyard into an adult leisure retreat. Their dream was centred around a pool, but there were some obstacles. First was a tree protection zone, second the limit on lot coverage and third the sloping yard—time to call in the Betz design team.

It was time to replace/repair the exterior siding on this three story modern view home. The homeowners wanted a modern, unique look with low maintenance. We found three products, normally used for commercial applications that the homeowners loved. New custom gutters, Andersen windows and custom garage doors were installed. The biggest obstacle on this project was the elevation 56 steps. A new larger walkway was built with an upgraded railing. New structural concrete stairs were poured. A new roof, new exterior lights and a new front door completed the project.

This project was a commercial law office that needed staircases to service the two floors. We designed these stairs with a lot of influence from the client as they liked the industrial look with exposed steel. We stuck with a minimalistic design which included grip tread at the top and a solid looking balustrade. One of the staircases is U-shaped, two of the stairs are L-shaped and one is a straight staircase. One of the biggest obstacles was accessing the space, so we had to roll everything around on flat ground and lift up with a spider crane. This meant we worked closely alongside the builders onsite to tackle any hurdles.

Our original client at this property (we now care for it on behalf of its second owner) desired a garden that would produce significant amounts of essential oils that he could process in his own copper still. As significant amounts of herbs must be processed in order to produce essential oil, this site’s primary obstacle was its lack of space. We designed a dense and stacked landscape in order to produce as much as possible. With sidewalk beds narrower than 3 feet and significant slope, it was critical that we build retaining walls and import large amounts of compost to the site. This site was completed in 14 working days.

This project entailed updating a finished basement and boys' playroom that was underutilized and contained many design obstacles from lolly columns to mechanical equipment. The client wanted the space to blend with the eclectic old style of the rest of her home, and also wanted to incorporate a couple of existing custom millwork pieces. With three boys, all with varying interests from art to toy collections, the client needed this space to cater to their hobbies. Ultimately the clients received exactly what they wanted- a multifunctional space that all could enjoy that can only be defined as breathtaking. Photography: Maryland Photography Inc.
