Some of our most successful spaces are the smallest and most functional - this peek-a-boo look into the mudroom serves so many practical purposes - access to the side/ back yard, laundry, drop zone for shoes and backpacks, and a ton of pantry space. The arched entry picks up on a detail that had been removed when we took some of the walls down and maintains the character of the original design.

Thinking outside the box Perched on a hilltop in the Catskills, this sleek 1960s A-frame is right at home among pointed firs and mountain peaks. An unfussy, but elegant design with modern shapes, furnishings, and material finishes both softens and enhances the home’s architecture and natural surroundings, bringing light and airiness to every room. A clever peekaboo aesthetic enlivens many of the home’s new design elements―invisible touches of lucite, accented brass surfaces, oversized mirrors, and windows and glass partitions in the spa bathrooms, which give you all the comfort of a high-end hotel, and the feeling that you’re showering in nature. Downstairs ample seating and a wet bar―a nod to your parents’ 70s basement―make a perfect space for entertaining. Step outside onto the spacious deck, fire up the grill, and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views. Stonework, scattered like breadcrumbs around the 5-acre property, leads you to several lounging nooks, where you can stretch out with a book or take a soak in the hot tub. Every thoughtful detail adds softness and magic to this forest home.

A Nanawall door system replaced the traditional French doors. On nice days these open into an approximate twelve foot open air space, creating one great room between their existing living room and the expanded outdoor area, which features a beautiful peek-a-boo view of the valley.

Challenge: Can you create intimacy in an open 1.5 acre space? Solved: The long, clean lines of this exemplar of modernist landscape architecture are punctuated by multiple strategically separated seating and lounge areas. Here clusters of friends can gather, see and be seen, and soak in the outdoors without intruding on one another’s conversations. The focal point of this linear expanse—a 6-foot-tall stucco wall—is pierced by a broad peek-a-boo window beneath which three hand-crafted copper spouts gently spill falls of water into the main pool. The pool itself, capped with a 4″ purple band set in travertine marble combines with the fire pit nook, spa, and outdoor kitchen/dining area features to elevate this gorgeous new construction well above neighborhood standards.

This beautiful offers warmth and comfort with tall white cabinets and warm tile backsplash. The perfect spot to have breakfast or entertain, there are a lot of custom elements present. The unique cabinet transition into a shelf, glass peek-a-boo's in the cabinet detailing, a deep red sink. All personal touches that add a little magic to the space.

The windows on two sides of this master bedroom bring tons of light into this space. But we've all experienced the distraction of having light reflecting off the screen of a tv or computer screen. This peek-a-boo wall mirror opens out to reveal the media centre within, doubling as a screen shadow when necessary. (Calgary Photos)
