The Lorraine Modern Residence is a fully integrated front and backyard project designed and built by The Northstone Group, the #1 landscape architecture, design-build, and custom pool construction firm in Montreal.
This contemporary modern home required a landscape approach that matched its architectural clarity while delivering long-term performance, precision detailing, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Every element of the project was designed and executed in-house by The Northstone Group’s team of landscape architects, builders, and pool specialists.
The backyard is anchored by a custom concrete pool, designed and built by Northstone’s in-house pool construction team. The pool features a beach entry for ease of use and resort-level comfort, as well as a refined waterfall edge that creates a clean visual transition between the water and surrounding landscape. These elements were engineered for durability, safety, and long-term performance, not just aesthetics.
The hardscape throughout the project includes architectural pavers selected to complement the home’s modern lines and neutral palette. These materials extend from the backyard into a custom paver driveway, creating a cohesive arrival experience and reinforcing the architectural language of the residence from the street.
Custom-built architectural planters were integrated into both the front and backyard to frame views, define circulation, and soften the hardscape while maintaining a contemporary, minimal aesthetic. Planting was intentionally restrained and structured, chosen to complement the modern architecture and perform reliably in Quebec’s climate.
An outdoor kitchen completes the backyard living space, positioned to support entertaining while preserving clean sightlines across the pool and landscape. The overall layout was designed to maximize usability, flow, and visual balance, ensuring the space functions as a true extension of the home.
With over 25 years of experience and a team of 180+ in-house professionals, The Northstone Group delivers landscape architecture, design-build services, and custom concrete pool construction under one roof. This integrated approach allows for precise coordination, consistent quality, and full accountability from concept through completion.
Projects like the Lorraine Modern Residence reflect why luxury homeowners across Montreal trust The Northstone Group as the leading authority in contemporary landscape architecture and high-end outdoor construction.

THE DOOR NAME ORIGIN - "ALLUMINIO ELIVIA VERTICAL WOOD GRAIN 4HS"
Of all the interior door models in the Elivia collection, this one is perhaps the most unapologetically elegant. Why? Hmm … That which is self-evident can be the most difficult to explain.
Is it because it is built using the latest breakthroughs in interior door making technology? Look at the finish: the process of applying it utilizes something called “stretching” by professionals, which is to say that instead of simply slapping the finish on top of the interior door’s surface, our company fuses (for lack of a better word) the materials (on molecular level, no less), the result being that the finished product is more warp-resistant, scratch-resistant, and fade-proof than any interior door put together in the past. This is especially important in climates known for their high humidity levels. Yes, but this has more to do with engineering than aesthetics, right?
Okay, so, is this interior door super-elegant because it features all the wonderful state-of-the-art hardware, specifically, the 3D adjustable, self-lubricating concealed hinges (made in Italy, by the way – a country which is, arguably, the birthplace of elegance as a concept)? Self-lubricating means your interior door will never creak. 3D-adjustable means that the installation is quick and precise (far more so than what you’d expect from ordinary hinges). Concealed means, of course, that the pin will not be visible from either side of the interior door when it’s closed. Actually, there is no pin. Neat, isn’t it? Would that be it?
Perhaps. Elegance in interior doors is a tricky concept. It combines (well, at least in the case of this particular interior door model it does) the “wow!” effect with the long-term agreeability. How so, you might ask. Well. It gets your favorable attention the first time you set eyes on it (the “wow” part); after which, you’ll never get tired of looking at it. For as long as you own it, it’ll always be easy on the eyes.
That must be it.
Maybe. Maybe not. There’s more.
This interior door is almost certainly Italian in spirit. Italian culture is rooted in Greco-Roman (Italian designers are very proud of that fact). Look at the vertical latitudinal orientation (which is to say the direction) of the wood grain. Pointing upward means creating additional visual space, pushing the ceiling higher (because your ceilings can never be too high). This is a time-proven architectural trick which ancient Greeks, with their characteristic tongue-in-cheek humor, referred to as “optical correction.” (By the way, if you’d sooner increase, the visual horizontal space of your room, you should look into this interior door’s sister – with the appropriate direction of the wood grain).
And then there’s the 4HS part, which stands for four horizontal stripes – resembling the four strings on the violin: the ultimate elegant musical instrument if there ever was one.
In its present form, the violin appeared in early Sixteenth Century in (guess …) northern Italy. Of course. To be fair, it quickly gained popularity throughout Europe, and the rest of the world soon after.
It’s elegance (the appearance as well as the sound) agreed with both street musicians and the nobility. The French king Charles IX ordered an Italian master to construct twenty-four violins for him in the year 1560.
Was the violin the source of inspiration for our designers?
Let’s move on to the finish.

Introduction
Welcome to the Anchor Down Renovation, where we take pride in sharing our exceptional projects that bring beauty and functionality to living spaces. In this edition, we are thrilled to showcase a remarkable bathroom remodeling project featuring a stunning natural modern terracotta style with exquisite silver accents and a custom vanity. Join us as we dive into the details of this project, which highlights Anchor Down's commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the creation of exquisite spaces inspired by nature.
Celebrating Nature’s Warmth
The bathroom, once lacking character and warmth, was ready for a complete transformation. Our client approached Anchor Down with a vision of creating a space that embraces the beauty of nature. Inspired by this vision, our team set out to design a bathroom that combines the modern elements of terracotta with the warmth and authenticity of natural materials.
The Timeless Appeal of Terracotta
To infuse the bathroom with a natural and modern aesthetic, our design experts recommended a terracotta style as the foundation of this remodel. Terracotta tiles exude a rustic charm that adds character and warmth to any space. Their earthy tones and unique textures create a natural backdrop that sets the tone for a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Silver Accents for Contemporary Elegance
To enhance the modern appeal of the terracotta style, we incorporated stunning silver accents throughout the bathroom. Silver fixtures, such as faucets, towel bars, and hardware, were thoughtfully chosen to add a touch of contemporary elegance. The silver accents create a harmonious contrast against the terracotta backdrop, elevating the overall design with their sleek and sophisticated appeal.
Custom Vanity: Tailored to Perfection
In line with our dedication to creating personalized spaces, we designed and installed a custom vanity for this bathroom remodel. The custom vanity not only enhances the functionality of the space but also serves as a statement piece. Incorporating natural wood elements and exquisite craftsmanship, the custom vanity exudes organic beauty while providing ample storage space for a clutter-free environment.
Illuminating Serenity
Proper lighting is essential in creating a soothing and inviting bathroom atmosphere. In this project, we carefully planned the lighting to highlight the natural beauty of the terracotta tiles and enhance the serene ambiance. Thoughtfully placed fixtures, such as wall sconces, recessed lighting, and accent lights, create a balanced and inviting environment, ensuring a tranquil retreat within the bathroom.
Craftsmanship and Attention to Detail
At Anchor Down, we are committed to delivering the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. From the precise installation of each terracotta tile to the flawless integration of silver accents and the custom vanity, our skilled craftsmen ensured perfection in every element. We paid meticulous attention to the alignment, grout lines, and finishing touches, creating a bathroom that showcases our unwavering dedication to excellence.

Xtreme Renovations has completed a Major Renovation Project near the Tomball area of Harris County. This project required demolition of the existing Kitchen Cabinetry and removing fur downs, rerouting HVAC Registers, Electrical and installation of Natural Gas lines for converting from an All Electric Kitchen to Natural Gas cooktop with an Xtreme Exhaust System above the new gas cooktop. Existing walls wear moved during the demolition process to expand the original footprint of the Kitchen to include additional cabinetry and relocation of the new Double Oven as well as an open Pantry area. All new Custom Built Cabinetry were installed made from Maple wood and stained to the specification of our clients. New Quartz countertops were fabricated and installed throughout the Kitchen as well as a Bar Area in the Great Room which also included Custom Built Cabinetry. New tile flooring was installed throughout the Mud Room, Kitchen, Breakfast Area, Hall Way adjoining the Formal Dining Room and Powder Bath. Back splash included both Ceramic and Glass Tile to and a touch of class and the Wow Factor our clients desired and deserved. Major drywall work was required throughout the Kitchen, Great Room, Powder Bath and Breakfast Area. Many added features such as LED lighting on dimmers were installed throughout the Kitchen including under cabinet lighting. Installation of all new appliances was included in the Kitchen as well as the Bar Area in the Great Room. Custom Built Corner Cabinetry was also installed in the Formal Dining Room.
Custom Built Crown Molding was also part of this project in the Great Room designed to match Crown Molding above doorways. Existing paneling was removed and replaced with drywall to add to this Major Update of the 1970’s constructed home. Floating, texturing and painting throughout both levels of this 2 Story Home was also completed.
The existing stairway in the Great Room was removed and new Wrought Iron Spindles, Handrails, Hardwood Flooring were installed. New Carpeting and Hardwood Flooring were included in the Renovation Project.
State of the Art CAT 6 cabling was installed in the entire home adding to the functionality of the New Home Entertainment and Computer Networking System as well as connectivity throughout the home. The Central hub area for the new cabling is climate controlled and vented for precise temperature control. Many other items were addressed during this Renovation Project including upgrading the Main Electrical Service, Custom Built Cabinetry throughout the Mud Room and creating a closet where the existing Double Oven was located with access to new shelving and coat racks in the Mud Room Area. At Xtreme Renovations, “It’s All In The Details” and our Xtreme Team from Design Concept to delivering the final product to our clients is Job One.

This St. Amdrews wellness suite extends the home's language of tailored luxury into a more immersive, resort-inspired environment. Conceived as a private wellness retreat, the space brings together water, heat, natural timber, stone, and glass to create an experience that feels both highly residential and distinctly elevated.
The sauna is the architectural centerpiece. Enclosed almost entirely in clear glass, it becomes a visual feature rather than a concealed amenity. The transparency preserves the sense of openness within the room while allowing the warmth and texture of the timber interior to become part of the overall composition. Rich natural wood lines the walls, ceiling, benches, and backrests, creating a continuous envelope that immediately shifts the atmosphere from contemporary bathroom to intimate spa.
The detailing within the sauna is intentionally precise. Horizontal timber battens establish a strong linear rhythm, while integrated illumination beneath and between the bench elements creates a soft architectural glow. The layered woodwork gives the sauna depth and dimension, demonstrating how functional wellness spaces can be treated with the same level of craftsmanship as the home's principal living areas.
A dramatic dark stone surround frames the sauna enclosure and introduces a strong counterpoint to the warmth of the timber. Its expressive veining adds movement and visual weight, while the black-framed glazing creates a crisp transition between the darker architectural surround and the lighter adjacent surfaces.
The hydrotherapy tub introduces a second wellness experience and provides a sculptural contrast to the linear sauna. Its generous proportions and clean white form keep the foreground visually calm, while the dark upholstery and surrounding stone reinforce the broader material palette of the home.
The flooring is selected to complement the spa environment, offering a tactile, natural surface that contrasts with the polished glass and stone. Together, the materials create a carefully balanced sensory palette, warm wood, cool stone, transparent glass, and soft water, designed to make the room feel restorative rather than purely functional.
The overall concept is residential wellness elevated to architectural design. Every element is coordinated to create continuity between material, light, texture, and function. The result is a sophisticated private spa that feels integrated into the architecture of the York Mills residence, offering an experience closer to a boutique wellness retreat than a conventional home amenity.

This custom new construction home is a full ground-up build, designed to merge modern architectural features with subtle mid-century references for a timeless yet family-friendly home. Built for a young family, the design achieves the perfect balance of style, comfort, and luxury detail.
Exterior & Architecture
The home features a clean modern profile with dove gray smooth stucco, black frame Milgard Tuscany windows, and a standing seam metal roof with multiple monopitched overhangs that create striking rooflines.
First Floor
The interior layout flows with an open concept kitchen and living room, complemented by a home office/bedroom and guest spaces. The kitchen is the heart of the home, designed with custom oak Euro-style flat door cabinetry, Dekton Marmorio stone countertops and backsplash, and a waterfall island centerpiece. A custom limestone plaster hood cover provides a sculptural focal point. The space is elevated with Bosch appliances and statement lighting choices that bring warmth and character.
Second Floor
The upper level includes bedrooms for the children, each with private bathrooms styled with wallpaper and playful lighting. The laundry room was designed for functionality, featuring two-tone cabinetry, quartzite countertops, and rounded subway tile backsplash.
Primary Suite
The primary bedroom features a white oak paneling statement wall set on a dark backdrop with pendant lighting. The suite includes a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding tub, curbless shower with custom quartzite shelving, a smart toilet nook, and a custom oak vanity with stone-fabricated sinks. 48x48 ceramic tiles with precise mitered edges complete the spa-like atmosphere.
