This renovated three-storey home balances awe-inspiring spaces with functionality. The new free-flowing ground level maintains a feeling of expansiveness while still allowing for different activities to play out in their own intimate zones. In the custom kitchen, where storage and prep space had always been scarce, a large quartz-topped island and white cabinetry with walnut accents modernize the space. The massive sliding doors were added for transparency with the outdoors, allowing full views of the backyard garden.

Upstairs, the crisply lit principal ensuite marries walnut cabinetry with white porcelain tiles for a serene, sanctuary-like quality and this sentiment continues to the newly added connecting principal bedroom. Previously a second-floor terrace, this bedroom addition is the perfect embodiment of serenity thanks to a feature wall—with walk-in closet behind—dedicated to walnut and its warm brown hue. Solid maple flooring completes the look.
