Our journey continues from last week where we began in the spa-like bathroom, around the curved wood slat wall, past the ample closet storage section to a showstopper of a space: a glass enclosed wine room. The sophisticated space elegantly displays a fine wine and whiskey collection on grooved, backlit floating shelves. These shelves provide both functionality and an upscale aesthetic, perfectly aligned with the room’s Mid-Century Modern design influence. The sleek black floor tiles echo those in the nearby bathroom, creating a sense of flow and visual contrast within the overall space. Natural wood slats from the shower and sauna areas continue into the wine room, adding warmth and texture to the modern, sleek lines. The glass enclosures complement similar features in the bathroom, maintaining a cohesive design language throughout the basement. The use of natural materials, clean lines, and thoughtful lighting makes this wine room not only a visual highlight but also a practical space for storage and display. With its refined aesthetic, this wine room is designed with luxury and practicality in mind, and is more than a storage solution—it’s a statement. Our homeowners are so pleased we could create a high-end, timeless space for them to enjoy for many years to come. Next week we will focus on the family entertainment area of the basement remodel.

This project updated an elegant house from the firm of Royal Berry Wills. The house sits on a gracious and deep double-lot straddling the Weston/Wellesley line. Handsome proportions and simple details outside conceal more refinement inside. The entry facade was modest while the rear dining room bay added personality.
The clients, active during the week and prolific entertainers during the weekend needed a home that enables graceful entertaining while being comfortable and manageable.
Our renovation made the home comfortable and easy to manage while supporting and preserving the large rooms of the original house that are well suited for large gatherings.
At the front facade, our addition subordinates itself to the main house. At the garden facade, the grand scale of the new whole takes cues from the original Royal Berry Wills house to address the grandeur and depth of the back garden.

Builder: Weeks & Mitchell Remodeling
Inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional craftsmanship, Lead & Laurel was designed to feel both rooted in history and tailored for modern living. The focal point of the space is a custom leaded-glass window, casting soft natural light across warm stone surfaces and creating a sense of quiet elegance throughout the room.
Rich wood cabinetry introduces depth and character, while earthy tile selections and clean architectural lines provide a balanced foundation. A sculptural soaking tub positioned beneath the handcrafted window invites moments of pause, while the adjoining shower seamlessly blends functionality with refined detailing. Matte black fixtures add contrast and definition, offering a contemporary layer to an otherwise classic palette.
The result is a bathroom that feels collected, enduring, and deeply personal—a retreat where old-world inspiration and modern comfort coexist in perfect harmony.

Our job was to enhance the character and comfort of this communal space, where our vibrant village residents come together for a diverse range of activities throughout the week. From spirited games of darts and cozy movie nights to lively coffee group gatherings and the eagerly anticipated Friday happy hour, our design aimed to create a welcoming haven for this active and sociable group of retirees.
Wainuiomata has a strong sense of community in which the locals take great pride in being a part of. Responding to this was essential to the brief by paying close attention to the geographic features, history and cultural significance of Wainuiomata as a place.
To complement these features, the interior design works as an extension of the outside; the palette is inspired by the raw materials, colours and robust forms seen in the nearby natural environment. Moments of forest greens are featured in the joinery and wall colours, paired with warm timber accents and stony textures on the servery benchtops and fireplace surrounds. Grooved details on the wall panelling and intricately woven textures in the furniture upholstery further add to the refined rustic feel.
