The owners found a “perfect” One big problem … it lacked personality. Enter Sydney-based design studio Esoteriko who revived it with targeted interventions such as new joinery, a fireplace and staircase, along with art curation, lighting, custom rugs, furniture, and window treatments. They connected indoor spaces to the garden, redesigned the kitchen’s double-height volume and added a delicate balustrade to the concrete stairs and custom brass pendants.

“It was important that there was not one overpowering genre or style, rather that new and old could sit comfortably together, alongside new material elements and the ‘bones’ of the house, expansive grey limestone. The decorative elements needed to create a sense of warmth and comfort that expands outdoors.”

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. The Rubinstein Group, a Real Estate Agency, by Esoteriko.

My design idol, Henrietta Southam, has created such a magnificent oasis in her latest home here in Ottawa and just when I thought could not be more impressed with her creativity and style….well here we are. I am shook that she can make an earthy, neutral colour palette so damn sexy and sophisticated, and be so dramatic. And to be doing this from a city that has access to almost no decent design shops and in general some of the most boring and bland taste in interiors. It is what makes Henrietta so unique and inspiring. Read more about her home on Architectural Digest (!!!!). Photos: Marc Fowler of Metropolis Studio

“This renovation was to provide a beautiful first home for a young couple. The clients wanted bright, refined and elegant colours paired with accents of natural timber to add some warmth back into the space. Our goal was to increase the sense of space in the apartment as well as bring more light into their living areas.”
