I’d love to share one of our recent projects where we transformed a 3250 sqft builder-grade home in suburban Markham into a personalized haven for a young family. They wanted a chic, low-maintenance space that reflects their lifestyle, with a focus on functionality and timeless design. The kitchen layout was completely reimagined with a spacious island, creating an open flow into the family room. The master ensuite was designed as a spa-like retreat with a walk-in shower and a large round tub. Throughout the home, we added plenty of storage solutions to keep it clutter-free while maintaining a warm, inviting atmosphere with neutral tones and natural materials.
Teresa Leung of Studio Lii created such beauty in this home that is simple yet classic and neutral yet very soothing. I can see myself playing with bits of colour and pattern and antiques in here to add some spice with this being an ideal starting point. Photos: Niamh Barry
Nestled amongst towering douglas firs with views of the Oswego Lake, our Southshore project is a respite of peace and quiet. Embracing minimalism and wabi sabi sensibilities, we sought to create a home that felt both expansive and intimate with an intentional connection to the outdoors and emphasis on natural materials.
What a beautiful, warm but expansive home with lots of light and views of the landscape just outside the windows. Designer Sara Gray of Grayhaus Interiors designed this forever home for her sister, who must be so proud. I can see the family enjoying this for many years to come, and thinking it’s just as cool 30 years from now.
