With a ceiling more than 40ft high and three stepped levels to accommodate, Griem removed the old staircase between the middle and lower levels and replaced it with a more compact design cantilevered off the library area. The stair doubles back on itself and has transparent reinforced glass balustrades. Reinforced glass was also used to front the stepped level of the middle and upper floors. Photographer:Philip Vile

Imagine life onboard your very own cruise ship, moored on a perpetually tranquil blue sea. That mental picture of outdoor, oceanic bliss is exactly what attracted Mr. and Mrs. Stansfield to this stunning waterfront home on exclusive Gilbert Island in Huntington Beach, California. Drawn to the lifestyle provided by a residence on the bay, with ready access to their boat, the Southern California couple purchased the home 2+ years ago and quickly set about updating and redecorating the interior. Hoping to create a comfortable environment suited for hosting family and entertaining friends, The Stansfield’s were not initially certain Cantoni would fit the bill as a decorative resource.

The existing kitchen was dated and did not offer sufficient and functional storage for a young family. The colours and finishes specified created the contemporary / industrial feel the client was looking for and the earthy/ natural touches such as the timber shelves provide contrast and mirror the warmth of the flooring. Painting the back wall the same colour as the splash back and cabinetry, create a functional kitchen with a ‘wow’ factor.

Fabulous renovation of a River North living room.
