This remodel transforms the lower level into a warm, inviting retreat designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. Wide-plank flooring and soft neutral tones create a cohesive, elevated feel throughout the space. The open layout offers flexibility, anchored by a custom fireplace feature with stacked stone detailing and a floating mantel—paired with a built-in media niche for a clean, modern finish. A dedicated bar area adds a true entertainment element, featuring custom cabinetry, open wood shelving, and a beverage fridge—perfect for hosting or relaxing after a long day. The spacious layout easily accommodates gathering areas, game space, and lounge seating, making it as functional as it is inviting. The remodel also includes a spa-inspired bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower featuring large-format marble-look tile, a built-in bench, and sleek glass enclosure. A separate soaking tub and vanity area bring both comfort and practicality, while a custom sauna adds a luxury wellness touch. The result is a thoughtfully designed basement that feels like a natural extension of the home—refined, functional, and built for how you live.

This beautifully expanded secondary living room blends modern transitional style with functionality, creating an inviting space perfect for entertaining guests. The room's design takes full advantage of its lakeside location with a fully retractable sliding door, seamlessly connecting the indoors to the serene lake views. Exposed beams add a touch of architectural character, enhancing the room's airy and open feel. At its heart is a plush sectional designed for ultimate comfort during movie nights or casual gatherings. Surrounding it are thoughtfully curated nook areas, offering versatile spaces for intimate conversations, reading, or quiet moments of reflection. The combination of soft, neutral tones and sleek modern finishes strikes a harmonious balance, making this living room both timeless and sophisticated. Ideal for hosting, the layout accommodates large groups while maintaining a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. This expanded living room is a true sanctuary, where the lake becomes a natural extension of the home's design.

This Bellevue custom home is a striking sculptural residence located at the end of a flag lot, just north of downtown Bellevue. Adjacent to the property is Zumdieck Park, a serene wooded city park that adds to the home's tranquil setting. Guests approach the home by ascending the entry steps to a grand pivot door. Upon entering, they are greeted by expansive views of the park through the open great room, creating an immediate sense of calm and serenity. For the homeowners, access begins in the underground parking garage, which accommodates up to eight vehicles. From there, they can either take a glass-enclosed tube elevator or ascend the stairs to one of the three levels above. The top floor is designed as a private retreat and entertainment hub, featuring a skyline-view lounge, a fitness spa, and a rooftop outdoor space. The spa area includes a Finnish sauna, a glass-enclosed workout area, and a cold plunge tub, offering a luxurious space for wellness and relaxation. The rooftop terrace provides breathtaking views of Bellevue's cityscape to the south, making it a perfect spot for entertaining friends or enjoying quiet moments.

Our client for this project envisioned a whimsical great room design that was conducive to hosting gatherings and her ongoing book club. She also desired a comfortable, classic sofa that could accommodate her friends’ knee and back issues (making it easy to sit and move?), while also incorporating her existing furniture in the refreshed design. The careful selection of fabrics for the drapery was key to pulling the design together. The airy botanical print became the inspiration for the rest of the color scheme, starting with soft green painted walls. A woven jute rug added texture and set a casual mood. We then found the perfect sofa style to beautifully complement the space and accommodate her friends’ needs. We created a welcoming, balanced ambiance by contrasting bold geometrically patterned pillows with organic drapery. A woven bench and versatile swivel chairs with polka dot upholstery rounded out the seating for guests. We also added round iron nesting cocktail tables to provide the ideal spot for snacks during her book group meetings. A magnificent waterlily painting adorned the walls, adding to the garden-inspired ambiance. To complete the vision, we placed her colorful inlaid table in the center of the room and added trellis-backed rattan chairs, to create a charming small dining area. Our client’s finished great room is now an oasis of tranquility and charm. She’s thrilled to have her new “happy place” – a beautiful, welcoming space to entertain her friends and family.

The new kitchen features a layout that prioritizes openness, light, a beautiful view of the home’s backyard. Centered around a 4’x6′ island with countertop seating, the kitchen comfortably accommodates up to nine people, making it a perfect gathering place. A window over the farmhouse sink provides a direct view of the backyard garden, allowing the homeowners to watch their children play while cooking. A forest-inspired color palette governs the kitchens’ aesthetic, with deep green cabinetry and a custom tile backsplash adding texture and color. Floating shelves take the place of upper cabinets on most walls, keeping the space open and drawing attention to the backyard views and full-wall tile backsplash. The layout is designed for ease of movement, with ample counter space and a balance of work areas and seating to support everyday cooking and hosting.

THIS WAS A PLAN DESIGN & INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECT. The Aiken Hunt is a perfect home for a family with many family members. This home was designed for a family who has out of town guests often, and they needed a lot of space to spread out when everyone comes to town for holidays and gatherings. This home meets the demand. An open concept in the informal areas allows the family to be together when they want to, and separated formal rooms handle the task of formality when entertaining as such. Two Bedroom Suites with private baths, and one addition bedroom with hall bath access and a private Study (plus additional Bonus Room space) are on the second floor. The first floor accommodates a Two Story Foyer, Two Story Living Room, high ceiling Family Room, elaborate Kitchen with eat-in Informal Dining Space, Formal Dining, large Walk-in Closet in the Foyer, Laundry Room, 2 staircases, Master Suite with Sitting Area and a luxury Master Bathroom are all spacious yet, do not waste space. A great house all around.

Sharon Contemporary Harmony was the main objective for this addition project and a great deal of attention is paid to the overall composition. The addition takes cues from the existing and ties new and old with an open, light-filled design that further connects the home to the site and achieves a feeling of spaciousness. Large windows are the cornerstone of this home and the use of symmetry helps keep the massing in balance. The addition includes a new kitchen, family room, breakfast and dining areas, new deck, expanded master suite on the second floor and a new three-car garage. The biggest challenge was to strike the best balance of privacy (especially in the master bathroom) and exposure to views of the outdoors. Complicating the task was the need to maintain the almost floor to ceiling windows while accommodating kitchen cabinets and a large walk-in shower. In the bathroom particularly, we take a creative approach to privacy and sun control without compromising the large windows. Contemporary homes place a huge emphasis on entertaining, particularly outdoors. This home will feature an outdoor fireplace connected to a large deck, perfect for casual entertaining.

The bungalow home plans offer a perfect layout for the owner, with all living spaces conveniently situated on a single level. This versatile design can also serve as a Carriage house or Craftsman home. A charming covered front porch extends a warm welcome to visitors, enhancing the home's curb appeal. Inside, a spacious and elegantly decorated great room serves as a versatile space for hosting gatherings with family and friends. The open and well-equipped kitchen features a butler’s pantry and an adjacent eating bar, seamlessly connecting to the formal dining area. The master bedroom is generously proportioned and thoughtfully designed, featuring a walk-in closet and a modern master bathroom concept with a separate tub and shower, as well as a double vanity. Additionally, the house plan includes another beautifully appointed bedroom and a guest suite, along with ample space for a great room and dining area. Natural light floods the interior, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. A mud area and a two-car garage with right-side entry provide practicality and convenience for residents, accommodating their transportation needs.

When our clients discovered their current property on the scenic Madawaska River, they knew it would be the perfect place to enjoy kayaking and the outdoors. They also knew that the existing home would be too small to comfortably accommodate their large family get-togethers. That’s when they called on our design team to design a renovation and addition to transform the home into a more functional and beautiful space for their day-to-day lives and their family and friends. Today we share the renderings presented during the Design Development phase. The riverfront home will be extended, and the interior completely reconfigured, to match their needs and vision. The main floor addition allows for a spacious open-concept great room, dining area and chef’s kitchen, opening onto a new screened room and covered porch to deliver the shared space they need for their large family gatherings. The kitchen has an island to seat four for casual dining or food prep, and a walk-in pantry for storage and a second refrigerator. The coffee bar in the dining area keeps beverage prep out of the main kitchen area and easily accessible to all. The stone-clad fireplace will create a welcoming centerpiece and provide warmth during the colder months. There is room for both a sitting area and large dining table in the screened porch. Our clients will wake up every morning to the lovely river view from their main-floor primary bedroom. It also includes a spacious walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. Laundry and a home office are immediately adjacent to the primary bedroom suite. So, everything they need is conveniently located on the main level. The lower full walk-out basement won’t feel like a basement with its large windows and direct access to the outdoors. It’s designed to comfortably accommodate family and friends with three bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a laundry room. Located on the opposite side from the bedrooms, a huge recreation room with a fireplace and view of the river will be a pleasant place to rest and play. Storage and mechanical are tucked in along the front wall. An outdoor patio will be protected from the sun by the deck above and a massive unheated storage room will be perfect for the kayaks and other recreational equipment, while still easily accessible from the river.

An interior design refresh was exactly what this Toronto home needed! We wanted this client’s living room to have an updated look with some major wow-factor and increased function! Our interior design worked around the beautiful abstract art by pulling out those blue & gold tones in the pillows, accent chairs, and shelving display. Nesting tables are a great use of space and perfect when entertaining to extend the table out when you need it. Newly installed floating shelves also offer a stylish solution for display that doesn’t take up too much space and accommodates great use for a book display.

This project features contemporary furniture and a functional layout for a cozy townhouse. This homeowner wanted to refresh her living room, which doubles as her hobby space. We edited her existing furniture and added a few pieces that worked well for the new layout. We wanted to create storage space for art supplies and incorporate the tall ceilings into the design, so we selected tall bookcases and located the work table by the window for maximum lighting. The homeowner has a great collection of art and decor, so we selected furniture that would allow her to showcase her items. The dining room furniture was chosen to accommodate seating for two while ensuring room for a console, which can serve as a buffet. We also reimagined the entryway furniture with a bench and nesting tables, providing additional seating while maintaining the minimalistic look. The end result is a tailored multi-functional space, perfect for any occasion.

A once closed off kitchen now opens up to the living room, converting it into one seamless space. Hickory cabinetry is finished in a warm gray stain giving it a unique medium brown glow. Light white Lagoinha quartzite graces the island and black Raven granite finishes off the perimeter. White subway tile reflects light from the surrounding windows drawing in the needed light. Seating for three accommodates the family and the connecting living room and built-in bar is perfectly suited for entertaining family and friends.

A attic space, slated for storage, was utilized into this expansive kids bunk room. A perfect space for playing games, lounging around watching TV, and it sleeps 9 or more.
