This small narrow corner of the living room needed a "wow" without using much space. With an ultra slim art table, fabulous abstract painting, and luminous original glass plates, it was done. Two colors of wall paint (echoed subtly in the art) add to the fun.

A home built on one of Canada's most beautiful lakes posed a design challenge. The home had originally been built almost directly in opposition to natural light and views to the lake. While most opinions were to tear the existing home down, BLDG Workshop worked closely with the client to recreate the home in a way that opened it up and became more fitting to the site.

This beautiful office space was renovated to create a warm, modern, and sleek environment. The colour palette used here is black and white with accents of red. Another was accents were applied is by the artificial plants. These plants give life to the space and compliment the present colour scheme. Polished surfaces and finishes were used to create a modern, sleek look.

Lighting became another way to integrate simplicity and harmony to the home’s overall design; but like every other element of our project, modernity and time honored practices of craftsmanship needed to fuse. In the master suite, fabricating the light troughs proved to be an interesting challenge. Given the extreme length of the faces and bottoms of the light trough (after 15), using solid cherry for their construction was impractical. A thin birch plywood substrate was built and 1/8" thick cherry veneers were applied. The resulting material was used for the faces and bottoms of the trough. The resultant birch/cherry composite material was reinforced with an elaborate lamination process that included a thin fiberglass veil for strength and flexibility. Other lighting was chosen to wash light over surfaces or to hang—lantern style to provide soft light and aesthetic embellishment. Here again, the design is highly influenced by the Japanese aesthetic.

Our firm was responsible for both the interiors and the architecture on this hillside home. The challenge was to design a "timeless" contemporary home that hugged the two acre hillside lot. One request was to enter the main floor with no exterior steps from the garage or driveway, something that is appreciated when there is three feet of snow! The solution for the entry was to create a twenty foot bridge from the exterior gate to the front door, this allowed the house to drop down the slope and created a very exciting entry courtyard. The interior has very simple lines and plays up the floor to ceiling windows with the ceiling level extending outside to create the deep overhang for the exterior. While our firm is primarily an interior design firm we are occasionally asked to create architectural plans. We prefer to work along with the architect on a project to create that "dream team" which results in the most successful projects.
