Here I share the projects that I am currently working on, or that have been newly released to the wild...or for permit, but saying I released them to the wild is much more fun.
This one-storey home takes a cue from European homes with the steep peaks and simple lines, creating a home that’s anything but boring.
The entry of your home doesn’t have to be two storeys to be impressive.
Adding ceiling details and large chunky columns can make your home’s entry raise the bar. This plan made multiple tray ceilings creating a grid pattern which could be left drywalled or be finished with wood up in those trays for extra warmth.
This homeowner is also a bit of a car enthusiast, so the addition of the windows to see directly into the garage was a bonus feature. Now he can show off his cars up on a lift to any guests coming over, without having to go into the garage.
Are you like a cat that likes to lay in the sun and keeps readjusting every time the sun shifts over?
You’re not alone.
The amount of light that is going to come streaming into this home is going to be amazing!
This home has the closet and ensuite of my dreams. A curbless entry shower, private toilet room, and a closet that goes on for days!
That dresser island is to die for!
Modern homes are about the lines and massing blocks, and this home is no different.
The low slope roof will almost disappear in real-life view leaving the band of roof line capping off the top.
Materials are carefully placed so they are in large massing groups to differentiate between parts of the building.
The fun thing about modern is that the traditional rules are meant to be broken!
Mixing materials is my jam. You can create texture, highlight certain areas of your home or push other areas to the background.
You could also obtain the same effect by mixing colours.
This house is a bit of both:
The darker portion of the second floor masks it and allows the main peak to be the star. Adding in the wood columns on the porch gives the house warmth and another deep, rich colour to play off of the other elements.
Building a new home gives you an opportunity to get everything you ever wanted in a home.
This homeowner’s dream was to have a closet that is worthy of magazines.
This closet is going to be chock full of LED lighting, glass displays and luxurious millwork.
The extra bonus? The closet is on display to the hall as well rather than being tucked away in a your-eyes-only kind of way.
I recently had the pleasure of working on a one-storey home where the homeowners wanted a contemporary style. If you’ve been going through my posts, you’ll know that traditional style is my forte, but I wasn’t going to pass up the chance to stretch my creativity.
My favourite parts are the mix of materials, the super thick fascia, and the banding effect under the soffit.
Excited to see this one go up!
You know what’s great about corner lots? Besides the extra windows and one less neighbour?
Wrap-around porches.
You don’t see wrap-around porches in city lots, which is a shame when the farmhouse look is making a comeback.
This house took it and ran with it, making two front facades, one facing each road.
This house is going to look like it’s been there forever and the rest of the subdivision built up around it. Now that’s standing the test of time.
Hey I get it, everyone loves a grand open space. Two storey ceilings are desired in 99% of the homes we design.
But, hear me out.
Smaller rooms like this den can create a feeling of coziness that large spaces just can’t touch. It’s like being a swaddled baby! A room that is just large enough for the furniture to be tucked against the wall, a plush carpet underfoot, and natural light streaming in. Plus a fireplace? Chef’s kiss.
Just through those doors is the great room with the tall ceiling. It’s the best of both worlds!
