In 2023 Level Custom Build completed the renovation of this junction condo. Our client wanted new vinyl floors, a new kitchen, more closet storage space and a bathroom remodel. We framed a new closet in the den area and installed wide double sliding doors for ease of access. The shaker style kitchen cabinetry prioritized space optimization and modernizing the overall aesthetic of the condo unit. We also converted the bathtub area into a standing shower.

This stunning custom build home is nestled on a picturesque tree-lined street in Oakville. We met the clients at the beginning stages of designing their dream home. Their objective was to design and furnish a home that would suit their lifestyle and family needs. They love to entertain and often host large family gatherings.
Clients wanted a more transitional look and feel for this house. Their previous house was very traditional in style and décor. They wanted to move away from that to a much more transitional style, and they wanted a different colour palette from the previous house. They wanted a lighter and fresher colour scheme for this new house.
Collaborating with Dina Mati, we crafted spaces that prioritize both functionality and timeless aesthetics.

we transformed a 1950s two-family dwelling into a serene single-family retreat, prioritizing functionality and timeless design. Finishes were carefully selected to balance warmth and modernity, with light-toned wood flooring and custom cabinetry that integrates seamlessly into the architecture. Rich stone countertops and textured backsplashes bring subtle sophistication to the spaces. The open swing at the entry creates a playful yet elegant transition to the heart of the home, while tall windows draw in natural light and frame outdoor views. Custom lighting highlights these finishes, enhancing the ambiance throughout. By managing the entire process—from concept to implementation—and coordinating multiple consultants, we ensured a cohesive design that reflects the client’s vision for contemporary, comfortable living.

Completed in 2015, the Othello House was designed by PRDG Architecture + Design and built by Better Builders as a striking example of modern living in West Seattle. Though the homeowners chose not to pursue formal certification, the project was built to meet the rigorous standards of a Five-Star Built Green™ home.
From the ground up, sustainability and style were equally prioritized. The build preserved native vegetation, retained mature trees on-site, exceeded Washington State Energy Code requirements, and recycled over 70% of construction waste by weight. Recycled-content materials were thoughtfully incorporated throughout, reinforcing the home’s eco-conscious foundation.
Large windows on all sides flood the interiors with natural light, while the surrounding landscaping is designed to highlight lush greenery and native plantings. The result is a home that combines premium modern design with environmental responsibility—proving that sustainable construction can also deliver the ultimate in comfort and function.

The entry to this accessible bathroom is designed to ensure easy access for all users, with a wide, smooth-opening door and a clear, unobstructed path. The spacious entryway allows for a seamless transition into the bathroom, making it user-friendly for those with mobility challenges. The design prioritizes both safety and style, ensuring that all visitors feel welcome in the church’s newly accessible space.

Pool House in Bronco | Key Feature: A Scottsdale new-build rooted in sculptural modernism, Bronco Revival balances bold black-and-white contrast with organic textures, natural wood elements, and statement lighting. As a groundbreaking “Live Lab” designer residence, it’s a first-of-its-kind space where luxury furnishings are tested in real-world conditions before being introduced into high-profile client homes.
Challenge: Because Bronco Revival was the designer’s personal residence, the project carried a unique level of pressure and intention. The challenge was creating a Scottsdale new-build that felt elevated and editorial while still functioning as a true family home. Every selection had to balance bold sculptural modernism (high contrast, statement lighting, architectural furnishings) with durability, comfort, and day-to-day livability. In addition, the home served as a “Live Lab,” meaning new vendors, materials, and luxury furnishings needed to be tested in real-life conditions before being trusted for future high-profile client projects.
Solution: We approached the project with a highly curated, test-and-refine design strategy, treating each space as both a finished interior and a real-world evaluation environment. Key furnishings, textiles, and materials were selected to support the modern organic vision while also standing up to the demands of everyday family life. We worked through selections intentionally, layering in bold contrast, natural woods, and sculptural statement pieces, while prioritizing performance materials, pet-friendly durability, and timeless foundational elements. By using the home as a lived-in showroom, we were able to validate what truly performs beautifully, refine our vendor relationships, and confidently carry those proven selections into future client designs.

The future of housing is not about owning the biggest home on the block.
It’s about finding a home—and a community—that aligns with how people actually want to live.
Buyers today are prioritizing:
Smart, efficient spaces
Wellness-focused environments
Outdoor living and connection
Community-centered neighborhoods
And as these priorities continue to shape the housing market, communities like Houston High Rise Condos at The Parklane represent a new model of modern living—one that places lifestyle, balance, and thoughtful design at the center of the homebuying experience.

Our home decor refresh is going to take some time and we need to prioritize. Our living room furniture is 36 years old and I still love it though it certainly shows signs of wear. I love my living room and dining room; they're a bit dated but I still love them. After making pillows for the family room I decided to freshen up the living room with pillowscapes. I love these Vervain fabrics in two different color ways.

We were hired to turn a 1950s split-level into a forever home for our clients, a growing family who fell in love with their home for the location. Over the course of two years, we transformed the space, adding an extensive amount of square footage to the home’s footprint, raising ceilings, and adding a third floor. We prioritized stylish and enduring materials like handmade tiles and natural stone to create a warm and livable aesthetic for family living.
