Built for a couple who love to cook and entertain, this renovation of a Toronto row house opens up the ground floor and relocates the kitchen to the center of the home.  Careful consideration of small details throughout creates a sophisticated and refined look. In the kitchen, high performance appliances and hardware teamed with precise detailing and walnut surrounds, elevate the IKEA cabinetry, and create a clean, elegant look. The wood wraps around the room, framing the light pendants, and ties together the spaces with a striking graphic quality.

Upstairs, two washroom spaces are combined to make a bright and open luxury bathroom designed around an original claw-foot tub. A continuous niche, carved out of the marble mosaic tiled wall, is lined with a solid surface material that becomes the vanity countertop. A floor-to-ceiling marble mosaic tiled wall provides a shimmering backdrop to the original claw-foot tub, and a frameless glass shower enclosure allows for a clear reading of the feature wall. The result is a serene, chic space in a transformed home.
