The kitchen space was an addition with a higher ceiling than the rest of the house. It provided for a much more open floor plan and better access to the backyard as well as significantly increased storage, countertop and island seating.

In addition to the bedroom, the master suite features a 9-foot ceiling sitting room. This sitting room offers plenty of space to do with as you please. It also provides access to the walk-in closet and the main hallway.

This bath is bright, thanks to a Solatube Daylighting system – like an efficient skylight – that provides great natural lighting by day and with the optional light fixture, a safe night light. An abundance of in-ceiling lights creates a minimalist bright overall ambience as well as focused task lighting for a low vision user. A Remcraft 5X lighted magnified makeup mirror caps off the accessible lighting design.

Our client was drawn to the property in Wesley Heights as it was in an established neighborhood of stately homes, on a quiet street with views of park. They wanted a traditional home for their young family with great entertaining spaces that took full advantage of the site.
The site was the challenge. The natural grade of the site was far from traditional. The natural grade at the rear of the property was about thirty feet above the street level. Large mature trees provided shade and needed to be preserved.
The solution was sectional. The first floor level was elevated from the street by 12 feet, with French doors facing the park. We created a courtyard at the first floor level that provide an outdoor entertaining space, with French doors that open the home to the courtyard.. By elevating the first floor level, we were able to allow on-grade parking and a private direct entrance to the lower level pub "Mulligans". An arched passage affords access to the courtyard from a shared driveway with the neighboring homes, while the stone fountain provides a focus.
A sweeping stone stair anchors one of the existing mature trees that was preserved and leads to the elevated rear garden. The second floor master suite opens to a sitting porch at the level of the upper garden, providing the third level of outdoor space that can be used for the children to play.
The home's traditional language is in context with its neighbors, while the design allows each of the three primary levels of the home to relate directly to the outside.

A spacious, 500SF roof deck is accessible from the top of the staircase, providing additional outdoor space for play and entertainment.
Due to the location and shape of the site, there is a 2-car, heated garage under the house, providing direct entry from the garage into the lower level mudroom. Two additional off-street parking spots are also provided in the covered driveway leading to the garage.
Designed with family living in mind, the home has also been designed for entertaining and to embrace life's creature comforts. Pre-wired with HD Video, Audio and comprehensive low-voltage services, the home is able to accommodate and distribute any low voltage services requested by the homeowner.

Aquarium surround project. The goal was to go enhance the built in look of this very large aquarium and still provide the owner with access to the sides of the tank as we all as the workings underneath to keep it functional. The project had to blend into both a family room and a dining room.

With contemporary and clean lines the Elton collection is the perfect combination of beautiful designer style and great practicality. It features an abundance of soft close drawers for easy and convenient access of the everyday toiletries. The Elton vanity elegantly floats off the floor to provide openness in tight spaces.

This expansive backyard includes (12) landscape speakers built into the yard with (2) buried subwoofers to provide incredible audio for entertainment as well as coverage for those close to the home or towards the back, surrounding the pool.
The loggia has (2) outdoor rated, in-ceiling speakers to provide more coverage while maintaining the elegant, clean look. To ensure the homeowners had the ability to easily control the system from their mobile devices, outdoor-rated wireless access points were installed so accessing the internet was easy and they have a reliable connection for guests as well.
