This client approached us with a request to remodel their home to better accommodate their needs related to a recent amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease–a condition that can lead to various physical challenges, including mobility issues, fatigue, and diffi culty with manual tasks. Recognizing the impact of these challenges on daily living, the client sought our expertise to make their home more accessible and functional. The project involved a signifi cant redesign of their three-story home, including the installation of an elevator to provide seamless access across all fl oors, and a complete remodel of the Primary Bathroom and Bedroom to enhance usability and comfort. This redesign was driven by the objective to support the client’s independence and improve their quality of life. Knowing that the client would receive assistance through the Veteran Affairs Special Adaptive Housing Program, our Team needed to include additional documentation for this project.

The objective was to create a warm neutral space to later customize to a specific colour palate/preference of the end user for this new construction home being built to sell. A high-end contemporary feel was requested to attract buyers in the area. An impressive kitchen that exuded high class and made an impact on guests as they entered the home, without being overbearing. The space offers an appealing open floorplan conducive to entertaining with indoor-outdoor flow. Due to the spec nature of this house, the home had to remain appealing to the builder, while keeping a broad audience of potential buyers in mind. The challenge lay in creating a unique look, with visually interesting materials and finishes, while not being so unique that potential owners couldn’t envision making it their own. The focus on key elements elevates the look, while other features blend and offer support to these striking components. As the home was built for sale, profitability was important; materials were sourced at best value, while retaining high-end appeal. Adaptations to the home’s original design plan improve flow and usability within the kitchen-greatroom. The client desired a rich dark finish. The chosen colours tie the kitchen to the rest of the home (creating unity as combination, colours and materials, is repeated throughout). Photos- Paul Grdina
