Nestled in a historic neighborhood, the Allan residence speaks to the enduring appeal of traditional design. Here, we honored the home’s architectural heritage while weaving in layers of refined comfort. The living spaces unfold in a thoughtful rhythm – from a powder room wrapped in hand-blocked wallpaper to a kitchen where honed marble and antiqued brass tell a story of timeless materials. Rich textiles in measured patterns, carefully sourced antiques, and collected pieces work in harmony to create rooms that feel as though they’ve evolved naturally over time.
Classical elegance and such pretty warm colours that exude a bright and airiness but also act like a big hug. This home will be beautiful and relevant 30 years from now just as it is. Love that. By Hageman Homes. Photos: Will Reid.

A stately Victorian home in the Garden District undergoes a transformation reversing a dated renovation with stylish upgrades including fixtures from England. At the soul of this renovation project is a building in need of repair due to damages by Hurricane Ida, an inefficient chopped-up layout and neglect from prior owners. The design team proposed removing the existing non-original staircase and installing a straight stair extending to the rear, pushing it slightly back to open the living room up to the grand foyer space and dining room with two plaster archways. Before the renovation, the second floor center hall was occupied by numerous interior closets with low ceilings. The design team proposed restoring the center hall allowing for better circulation and spatial clarity. The kitchen area was expanded from the original footprint to capture a small sitting area adjacent to the main kitchen area. The primary bathroom prior to the renovation was an empty shell of a space with a freestanding tub and toilet next to the existing fireplace.
What an absolutely stunning home! If I had the chance to visit this home, I’d have ended up with heart palpitations by the time I got to that glorious front door. I am DYING over those archways in the foyer and that kitchen is so dreamy. Architect: Studio BKA; Contractor: Entablature; Photography: Jacqueline Marque; Styling: Suzonne Stirling.

From the outside, its heritage features like the new roof, sash windows, and lime-rendered facade honour the conservation area’s history. Inside, a bold transformation unfolds, showcasing thoughtful craftsmanship with custom timber doors, double-height spaces, and an indoor-outdoor flow. HUTCH‘s vision turned this once-dark home into a vibrant sanctuary, blending modern and natural elements.

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Kit Building by Breland–Harper.
