This expansive turn-of-the-century home in the heart of Summerhill was previously renovated in a classic ‘80’s style and needed a substantial makeover. The front half remained traditional while the back of the home was completely opened up and styled in a very modern aesthetic complete with huge windows, oversized skylights, custom exterior metal panels, and natural thermally modified Ash cladding. The wide open kitchen is a chef's dream and the ceiling soars up 20 feet!

Arguably, the most defining feature of the home addition is the 8-foot-tall aluminum clad bifold glass doors. These state-of-the-art systems redefine space and functionality while incorporating indoor-outdoor living design solutions—a key element in the homeowners’ overall design vision. The striking open corner effect creates an unobstructed 17-foot-wide portal to the outdoors with the three panel systems easily gliding into remote outward stacks to the left and right of the opening. The outward stacking fully maximizes the interior square footage by diminishing obstructions or the need to move furniture around. A barely-there floor sill offers seamless access to the wraparound deck that doubles as additional open-air living space. When entertaining, the studio’s worktable can be pulled out for lounging or al-fresco dining, an effortless testament to the multifunctionality of the space.

Rich, warm yet strikingly beautiful! This kitchen got a major overhaul with its oversized island housing a pre-sing, wine fridge, and tons of storage. Relocation of the refractor to make way for the gourmet range alongside the existing window framed sink. This kitchen is "L" shaped and has a hidden pantry built-in behind the fridge.
