Renovation & Addition:

Shoreline Sanctuary

Custom home kitchen renovation. Quartz counters, dark wood cabinets, modern pendant lights. Light wood floors, island seats.

Overview

Located on the shoreline of Lake Huron, this transformation took the space from a cramped, outdated kitchen to a bright, open area where the family can connect and entertain. The goal was to create a spacious environment that fosters togetherness, with multiple zones designed for cooking, gathering, and relaxing. The once underwhelming kitchen now offers ample space for both family and friends to enjoy, making it perfect for everything from casual dinners to lively game nights and beachside hangouts.

Result

The kitchen now features distinct zones: a cooking area, visitors’ zone, bar, and entertainers’ space by the bay window; now interconnected, creating a harmonious and inviting space for gatherings. The large island serves as both a prep station with a Galley Workstation Sink and a serving area for gatherings. The design pulls inspiration from the beachfront property with driftwood-coloured flooring, dark wood cabinets, and the textured Cambria Inverness Frost countertop. The bar area offers a moody ambiance, while the cooking zone remains bright and sophisticated. Each zone complements the other, creating a harmonious, inviting space for family and friends.

DESIGNER: 

Alannah Bent

The William Standen™ team was amazing and I would rate them all excellent. The goal was to create a timeless space that flows but still maintains the individuality and purpose of each room, all while being conducive to entertaining. Truly a challenge given the existing footprint. Alannah's design brought all these elements together seamlessly, and her creativity achieved what we weren't sure was possible. Thank you so much to Paul and the team. It was a pleasure getting to know them. We felt comfortable moving out and leaving this project in your capable hands. We look forward to working with you all again in the future!
