Stripped of its original charm with sagging floors and water leaks, this 1900 row house was prime for a full renovation. While the staircase and marble fireplace are original, everything from the white oak flooring, crown, applied, and base moldings, to the archways and brass door hardware is new; yet they all feel original to the house. Other projects included removing soffits and tucking away randomly placed support beams and posts, relocating and expanding the kitchen, renovating each bathroom – and adding a new one, upgrading all the mechanical, electric and plumbing systems, removing a fireplace, and regrading the back patio for proper drainage and added greenery. The project is a perfect study of juxtaposing new and old, classic and modern. Photography Stacy Zarin Goldberg

Stylish brewery owners with airline miles that match George Clooney’s decided to hire Regan Baker Design to transform their beloved Duboce Park second home into an organic modern oasis reflecting their modern aesthetic and sustainable, green conscience lifestyle. From hops to floors, we worked extensively with our design savvy clients to provide a new footprint for their kitchen, dining and living room area, redesigned three bathrooms, reconfigured and designed the master suite, and replaced an existing spiral staircase with a new modern, steel staircase. We collaborated with an architect to expedite the permit process, as well as hired a structural engineer to help with the new loads from removing the stairs and load bearing walls in the kitchen and Master bedroom. We also used LED light fixtures, FSC certified cabinetry and low VOC paint finishes. Regan Baker Design was responsible for the overall schematics, design development, construction documentation, construction administration, as well as the selection and procurement of all fixtures, cabinets, equipment, furniture,and accessories.

Various throw pillows and 4 matching ottomans add pops of color and visual interest. The extra-large mirror matches the scale of the room and reflects the beautiful remodeled dining & kitchen space.

Much sought after by owners of narrow lots, this cottage, with its 36 foot facade including the garage, becomes a judicious choice for neighbourhoods where this type of home is influential. Well balanced on the exterior, you’ll soon establish it is just as balanced on the inside. Once you pass through the main entrance foyer, a remarquable living room offers itself to you with elongated windows on two façades, a fireplace, and a cathedral ceiling which opens to the mezzanine above. A very bright dining room with built-in hutch space, a spacious kitchen with central island/lunch counter, plenty of counter workspace and storage as well as a convenient laundry closet and a half-bath with shower; all of these features really hold our attention. As we head upstairs, at the first landing we come across a particularly original bedroom which will surely please little ones with its closet that offers an access to their own ‘secret’ little room... Another smaller bedroom is on the second level. As for the parents, it will also be possible for them to cross through their closet to access a very well organized full bathroom.

Here we see how well the small pattern on the throw pillows works so well with the large pattern of the area rug. The pillows are balanced with the solid blue pillows and throw blanket behind them. Add to that, the neutral creams of the sofa and the built ins, along with the texture and color of the brick, and you have a happy cozy well balanced place for your family to relax together/

The dining room at Mountain Haven reflects the home’s refined craftsman style with timeless elegance and warmth. Pine beams and smooth stucco walls add character and texture, while classic architectural details create a welcoming, well-balanced space. Thoughtfully designed by Platt Architecture, the dining room blends traditional craftsmanship with understated sophistication, perfectly complementing the natural beauty and mountain setting of The Cliffs at Walnut Cove.
