This interior renovation focused on adapting a much-loved home to better suit the changing needs of a maturing family. The design draws inspiration from the character of the clients, as well as from the materials and artwork that they have chosen to display in their home. Bright sliding pocket doors, bold prints and the occasional splash of pink or turquoise balance the otherwise subtle material palette.

In the basement, a recreation room, gym and three-piece bathroom were created to compliment the existing cedar-clad sauna, providing more opportunities for entertainment and relaxation.

The provision of concealed storage and the reorganization of wasted space both help to overcome the clutter often found in busy family homes. Upstairs, a re-proportioning of room sizes allows for a fair distribution of space between the children’s rooms, with a library and bright reading lounge added as additional shared space for the family to enjoy.
