This master bedroom is part of a 15,000 square foot new home we are designing for a busy family of five. The house is currently under construction, but we created these drawings and renderings to show the client our design concept. Below is a sneak peek into our process, with floor plan drawings, elevations, part of our design presentation, and two renderings.

This third floor bathroom was inspired by the tree-top views from the window, and the previous tenants - a family of raccoons who had taken up residence in this once derelict century home. The homeowners wanted the room to feel like a tree house. Our goal was to create a contemporary bathroom with luxurious materials that created a serene connection with nature. Once the raccoons were evicted, the space was gutted and rebuilt as the master suite. We reconfigured the room with an eight-foot wall in the middle dividing the shower area from the sink, and used the angled ceilings to our advantage to incorporate extra storage behind the walls.

When the owners purchased this home it was literally falling in on itself. It was over 100 years old and hadn’t been maintained. We gutted it to the brick, rearranged the floor plan, removed some walls, and entirely redesigned and rebuilt it. But every home has a soul, so rather than ignoring this one we included some details that spoke to the original architecture. The result is a stunning, comfortable family home, centred around this striking kitchen.

When we first encountered this Lytton Park home it was a simple, empty shell.
Bare drywall everywhere. We injected it with personality and turned it into a vibrant and elegant family home by layering architectural details, statement lighting, and a carefully curated selection of new, custom and antique furniture.

Our clients’ master bedroom was beautifully built, but was an endless sea of beige paint. For a couple that loves colour and lively pattern, it was simply too dull. We started from scratch with new furniture, bedding, window coverings and wallpaper. It’s all in the details.
Everything we added was purposefully chosen for its colour, texture or shape. The curve of the headboard plays off the curve of the ceiling, which is mirrored in the bases of the night tables and the custom benches we designed for the end of the bed.

One afternoon we got an email out of the blue from a man who lived in Taipei. He had just bought a house in Toronto, sight unseen, and asked if we could fully furnish it from top to bottom before he and his family moved in. He wanted everything they would need to live in the house, down to the toilet paper in the bathroom. The direction was to create an elegant space full of colour, contrast and drama.  

This room is all about casual, comfortable, low key luxury. We always design in a holistic way, integrating the decor with the architecture so the entire home feels harmonious. Our inspiration for this room came from the tongue & groove panels on the ceiling. All the furniture was custom made to fit the space, with a colour palette pulled from our accent pillows.

One of the coolest rooms we’ve ever done was this Batman bedroom with a custom mural of Gotham City painted on the cathedral ceiling. All the adults wanted to move in!

This bathroom is one of the best before and after projects we’ve done. It was like it belonged to a different house that no one had lived in since the 80’s. Our clients longed for a luxury spa retreat with lots of storage. What they had was a cramped mess of cracked, discoloured, and mouldy finishes. Everything had to go and we started from scratch. We rearranged the floor plan for better function and flow, designed new millwork, a curbless shower, and a custom-cut marble floor. Everything in this bathroom was designed with luxury in mind, right down to the heated bench seat in the shower.

Warm. Cozy. Comfy. Filled with art and books. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Oh, and there’s a puppy too.

This mid-town home was owned by a prominent public figure and an ex-pat from London. While they loved Toronto, the couple desperately missed London and wanted to make their home feel like a stately London townhouse. The house needed a massive renovation. We gutted everything and redesigned it, fit for Kensington.

We designed this Rosedale living space as a playful juxtaposition of contemporary and classic styling, with curved and rectilinear forms. With the two-story window as a backdrop, furniture and accessories were chosen to create a cohesion between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The lines of the furniture and fabric patterns are deliberate and repeat throughout the space. Being either very angular or distinctly curvilinear, the furniture is all clean-lined, but plays with traditional shapes and detailing.

Our clients had been living in this home for years with the most awkward configuration and
non-functional space. We rearranged the floor plan both upstairs and down, and then redesigned the entire home to let in loads of light. This bathroom is one of our all-time favourites,
with a marble-clad window seat right in the shower.
