While this new home had an architecturally striking exterior, the home’s interior fell short in terms of true functionality and overall style. The most critical element in this renovation was the kitchen and dining area, which needed careful attention to bring it to the level that suited the home and the homeowners. As a graduate of Culinary Institute of America, our client wanted a kitchen that “feels like a restaurant, with the warmth of a home kitchen,” where guests can gather over great food, great wine, and truly feel comfortable in the open concept home. Although it follows a typical chef’s galley layout, the unique design solutions and unusual materials set it apart from the typical kitchen design. Polished countertops, laminated and stainless cabinets fronts, and professional appliances are complemented by the introduction of wood, glass, and blackened metal – materials introduced in the overall design of the house. Unique features include a wall clad in walnut for dangling heavy pots and utensils; a floating, sculptural walnut countertop piece housing an herb garden; an open pantry that serves as a coffee bar and wine station; and a hanging chalkboard that hides a water heater closet and features different coffee offerings available to guests. The dining area addition, enclosed by windows, continues to vivify the organic elements and brings in ample natural light, enhancing the darker finishes and creating additional warmth.

Ancien local industriel ayant été aménagé en habitation, les travaux ont favorisé l'ouverture de la maison côté jardin, avec une surélévation au niveau du garage qui abrite un bureau, un dressing, une salle d'eau et sous les toits, une chambre qui s'ouvre sur une terrasse protégé des regards... Le Nid vient s'insérer en parfaite continuité avec la construction existante. Le challenge de ce projet fût principalement dû aux proportions des volumes possibles à édifier, une bande assez fine... Et pourtant, le souci constant d'apporter de la lumière au cœur de la maison.

This gorgeous laundry room/mudroom has stained white oak base cabinets and white painted upper cabinets. Giving plenty of storage, these custom cabinets will make your laundry days more efficient!

We wanted to create a cozy and productive atmosphere for this fun couple. To maximize the limited space, we opted to mount the larger pieces on the wall. The design we chose was a blend of simplistic style and neutral tones, with a touch of color added in throughout.

Even before the pool was installed the backyard was already a gourmet retreat. The premium Delta Heat built-in barbecue kitchen complete with sink, TV and hi-boy serving bar is positioned conveniently next to the pergola lounge area.
