Located in the neighbourhood of Britannia, this custom residential property is home to a family of four with two young children. While the client’s previous custom home was quite contemporary, they opted to take a different direction and we developed a space that felt more transitional, rooted in a modern French aesthetic. This is reflected in the crown molding and trim work throughout the house, with lux features like a natural stone fireplace surround and heavy velvet draperies. Furnishings continued this direction with modern silhouettes paired with classic materials like linens and florals. Light-hearted wallpaper in ‘his’ office – a vintage looking Chinese chinoiserie meets French Country features Biggie, the Brooklyn Bridge and other curious motifs. The powder room is finished with acid coloured flowers contrasted against a custom wash basin. The dining room, dark and moody, is accented with jade green and black wallpaper with brass accents and screened partitions. This play of light, fresh + bright against more sultry spaces continues through the house but transitions seamlessly from space to space, making for a dynamic living space.
