We breathed new life into this Hampton’s inspired kitchen with beautiful fresh materials in soft white and airy blue hues. We also redesigned the layout for optimal food prep, cooking and entertaining while keeping them separate from each other. By incorporating the nook area and removing the desk, we were able to give our client everything she ever wanted in a kitchen (see BEFORE pics). The lines and details of the custom hood and soft curved fretwork in the cabinetry create a sense of understated luxury and elegance. Oil rubbed bronze accents on the island legs, traditional lanterns and sconces, along with brushed nickel cabinet hardware complete the space. We also redesigned the fireplace and added built-ins to both sides for additional storage and unified, fresh new look.

The goal for this main floor bath was to keep the costs reasonable by using the same basic layout, while adding luxurious touches such as a deep soaking tub, a bidet toilet, a vanity with ample storage space, and vivid blue wall tile by Fireclay. We also reduced the size of the window for additional privacy and installed heated floors for added comfort.

The client wanted to reduce the amount of sod in their front yard. We removed the grass and some soil to put DG with stabilizer down compacted the DG then installed the flagstone over the DG. We used the same DG for the joints. The client wanted a 1/2 heart planter next to the driveway so soften the flagstone.

Every piece of this new hemlock balustrade is all cut from the same profile which reduces waste and therefore cost as well. The juxtaposition of the new wood in the classic styling against the original stair treads really makes a pop without feeling overworked.

The homeowner of this third floor renovation in Toronto's Roncesvalles neighbourhood wanted to make more efficient use of the space and tackle drafts through insulation, air sealing, and balanced ventilation. The project saved an estimated 6,597 KG of C02 compared to a typical renovation of the same size. That’s equal to the carbon that 171 trees remove from the air we breathe during their lifetime!* While insulation and high efficiency windows reduce energy (i.e. natural gas) needed to heat and cool the home, other measures such as waste diversion and non-toxic building materials are also critical in reducing environmental impact and safeguarding occupant health. For this project, like others, we developed a number of plans, including waste diversion, materials, resources and transportation.

We reduced the number of glass profiles in the uppers to hide the practical items that aren't as pretty. Swapping about huge base cabinets with useful drawers offered more options for this service area.
