The temple design exudes a futuristic and organic appeal, featuring spherical domes that rise smoothly from the earth, suggesting a deep integration with the surrounding landscape. The curved lines and monolithic forms of the structure imply a modernist approach to sacred spaces, while the subdued color palette harmonizes with the natural setting. The simplicity of the design invites quiet reflection, making it a unique landmark that marries the ancient purpose of a temple with contemporary architectural expression.

Our client’s main bathroom boasted shades of 1960 yellow through-out. From the deep rich colour of the drop-in sinks and low profile bathtub to the lighter vanity cupboards and wall accessories to pale yellow walls and even the subdued lighting through to veining in the old linoleum floor and tub wall tiles. High gloss Carrara marble 24”x48” tiles span from the tub to the ceiling and include a built-in tiled niche for tucked away storage, paired with Baril brushed nickel Sens series shower fixtures and Fleurco 10mm shower doors. The same tiles in the shower continue onto the floor where we installed Schluter Ditra In-Floor Heat with a programmable thermostat. Custom cabinetry was built to allow for the incorporation of a sit-down make-up between his and her double bowl sinks as well as a tall linen tower with cupboards and drawers to offer lots of extra storage. Quartz countertops with undermount sinks and sleek single handle faucets in a subdued brushed nickel hue complete the look. A custom mirror was made to span the full length of the vanities sitting atop the counter backsplash.

Evoking a serene ambiance, this bedroom showcases a harmonious blend of textured concrete walls and plush bedding. Elegant pendant lights, shaped reminiscent of natural forms, dangle gracefully beside a minimalist canvas, adding a touch of organic beauty. The gold-accented side tables introduce a hint of luxury, complementing the subdued tones and creating a tranquil retreat.

The brushed stainless finish has a subtle, refined appearance that exudes understated elegance. It doesn't have the high shine of polished finishes, which contributes to a more subdued and sophisticated look. The clean lines and smooth texture of brushed stainless tapware align with minimalist design principles. Its simplicity adds a sense of modernity and sophistication to the kitchen. The brushed finish scatters light rather than reflecting it directly, creating a softer and more diffused appearance. This subdued reflection adds to the tapware's and sinks' sophistication.

When this suburban family decided to renovate their kitchen, they knew that they wanted a little more space. Advance Design worked together with the homeowner to design a kitchen that would work for a large family who loved to gather regularly and always ended up in the kitchen! So the project began with extending out an exterior wall to accommodate a larger island and more moving-around space between the island and the perimeter cabinetry. Style was important to the cook, who began collecting accessories and photos of the look she loved for months prior to the project design. She was drawn to the brightness of whites and grays, and the design accentuated this color palette brilliantly with the incorporation of a warm shade of brown woods that originated from a dining room table that was a family favorite. Classic gray and white cabinetry from Dura Supreme hits the mark creating a perfect balance between bright and subdued. Hints of gray appear in the bead board detail peeking just behind glass doors, and in the application of the handsome floating wood shelves between cabinets. White subway tile is made extra interesting with the application of dark gray grout lines causing it to be a subtle but noticeable detail worthy of attention. Suede quartz Silestone graces the countertops with a soft matte hint of color that contrasts nicely with the presence of white painted cabinetry finished smartly with the brightness of a milky white farm sink. Old melds nicely with new, as antique bronze accents are sprinkled throughout hardware and fixtures, and work together unassumingly with the sleekness of stainless steel appliances. The grace and timelessness of this sparkling new kitchen maintains the charm and character of a space that has seen generations past. And now this family will enjoy this new space for many more generations to come in the future with the help of the team at Advance Design Studio. Dura Supreme Cabinetry Photographer: Joe Nowak
