First Ave Residence
We worked with a lovely couple to design their main floor, and they called us back to complete their home by designing their second floor family room, and third floor bedroom. We were working with a three storey home in Toronto. Space was tight and the old layout was awkward and unconventional. The previous ensuite only had space for a toilet and sink, and there were multiple small and awkward closets tucked away in the attic space. To make it meet their needs, we completely gutted the third floor, and added on 6' to the back of the home. We were able to move the ensuite to the front of the home and included a large skylight which gave natural light to the space and also provided privacy. The ensuite connects to the bedroom by a large walk-through closet, and the peaceful bedroom area overlooks their private rooftop terrace. The key to this design was simplistic and organic colours, textures and furnishings to make their home feel open and airy.
