This front yard renovation at 206 Ashdale Ave turns a challenging grade change into a stunning street side statement. A custom two-tiered concrete block retaining wall system creates generous raised planting beds while managing the slope with clean, architectural precision. The central walkway features large-format light grey pavers with a contrasting charcoal border inlay — a crisp, contemporary detail that draws the eye straight to the front door. Two broad landing steps with a sleek black powder-coated handrail complete the entry sequence beautifully. The planting palette balances structure with softness: a burgundy Japanese maple and steel-blue ornamental grass anchor the left bed, while a sweeping mass of Shasta daisies, pink roses, and hydrangeas bring seasonal color and life to the right. Black mulch ties it all together with a polished, low-maintenance finish.

Decadent. Rich. Lavish. Perfect words to describe the LAMINAM Calacatta Mediceo that graces this elegant kitchen. Design exclusively by Ollin Stone, the design of this sublime stone has us thinking of Italian cream and caramel — a luscious combination indeed.

The dining room was at the entrance of the apartment. Rustic and reclaimed wood finishes were mixed with clean white walls and a comfy linen banquette. photo credit: Alyssa Maloof
