The goal in building this home was to create an exterior esthetic that elicits memories of a Tuscan Villa on a hillside and also incorporates a modern feel to the interior.
Modern aspects were achieved using an open staircase along with a 25' wide rear folding door. The addition of the folding door allows us to achieve a seamless feel between the interior and exterior of the house. Such creates a versatile entertaining area that increases the capacity to comfortably entertain guests.
The outdoor living space with covered porch is another unique feature of the house. The porch has a fireplace plus heaters in the ceiling which allow one to entertain guests regardless of the temperature. The zero edge pool provides an absolutely beautiful backdrop—currently, it is the only one made in Indiana. Lastly, the master bathroom shower has a 2' x 3' shower head for the ultimate waterfall effect. This house is unique both outside and in.

Command attention with this monumental custom pivot door, designed to be the ultimate focal point of any modern luxury exterior.

Manufactured with precision by Kingston Door Systems, we offer factory-direct bespoke pivot doors and architectural gate systems, delivering unparalleled structural integrity, high-end finishes, and exact custom dimensions to elevate your residential or commercial projects.

Entry Transition – Smart Tile Inlay Between Rear Deck & Living Room | Toronto
This transition detail highlights a practical yet refined flooring solution between the rear deck and the living room. To protect the interior hardwood flooring from moisture, dirt, and seasonal debris, tile was intentionally installed only in front of the patio door, creating a durable landing zone without interrupting the warmth of the wood floor throughout the rest of the space.
The selective use of tile allows the transition to feel clean and purposeful rather than overly utilitarian. It captures water, grit, and debris brought in from the exterior while maintaining a seamless visual connection between indoor and outdoor living areas.
As part of this full-home transformation, this detail reflects Cedarstone Group Inc.’s design-build philosophy: anticipating real-life use and solving it with thoughtful design choices. It’s a subtle but impactful example of how careful planning enhances both longevity and everyday comfort in a modern home renovation.
