Gorgeously Green Redesign

Award Winner: 2014 NKBA Ontario/Canada Chapter 1st place award winner for best green design.

As seen in Reno & Decor Magazine.

Our goal was to design a space that truly reflected the clients, their love of entertaining and their affection for their country home and rural upbringings. The clients plan to live here forever, necessitating a kitchen that would be as durable as it is striking.

The existing space was closed off to the dining area, posing two main challenges: incorporating an integral dining area without sacrificing storage and removing a non-load-bearing wall, with the related rerouting of plumbing, electrical and heat ducts.

How We Transformed This Home

Kitchen

To make up for lost storage, the island was designed to have full-access storage, a 90-by-90-by-15-inch pantry houses canned goods, and the built-in bench seating offers hidden storage.

A new refrigerator and gas range maximize storage and cooking capabilities, and a microwave drawer eliminates the need for back-bending or reaching above-elbow height while handling hot items. The design creates an optimal space between the range and island, allowing two people to pass each other effortlessly.

Custom sliding doors mimic barn doors and define the space. Combined lines – vertical, horizontal and diagonal – direct the eye to this feature. Their crisp geometric pattern lends a timeless look.

The doors were crafted from our lead designer’s specifications: new alder wood in a hand-finish, giving them a vintage look, while maintaining the durability and warranty of a new product.

A cast iron apron-front sink in green was chosen to bring the outside in – green apples grow abundantly on the property – and custom rustic corner straps complete the concrete countertop.

Custom corner drawers maximize the use of the corner space, and when any of the custom maple dovetail drawer boxes open, a light automatically turns on illuminating the drawer space.

The two-bin garbage and recycling pull-out are on an electronic opening system allowing the clients to lightly tap the cabinet door with their knee to throw items into the trash.

Bathroom

The existing bathroom was original to the home. It had worn-out cabinetry, flooring and fixtures, and needed updating. The existing space featured a tub/shower combination.

The space was completely redesigned to allow for a large freestanding soaker tub, a 55-inch full-custom glass walk-in shower, his-and-hers sinks and an innovative wall-hung toilet that makes cleaning a breeze. The new space welcomes you with its heated tile flooring and inviting, warm, spa-like neutral colours. The large, solid-surface material soaker tub provides a relaxing retreat, while the custom glass shower allows the space to feel open. Sightlines are not restricted upon entering the bathroom.

Beyond the tub is a feature tile wall that looks like rustic barn board, yet has the lasting durability of tile.

The handless custom cabinetry in our signature warm, grey colour features a push mechanism to open the doors and drawers. Once the drawers open, a light inside turns on.
