    It’s all in the details

    Our aim is to elevate the concept of modern living with intuitive design and premium finishes that seamlessly blend form and function.

    Each element of our homes is thoughtfully curated, reflecting the unparalleled craftsmanship and keen eye for detail.

    Interiors

    Our core vision for interior design is an honest approach to materiality (if it looks like wood, it’s wood), simplicity, and understated elegance.

    Exteriors

    We work with you to make a home that honours the character of your family and the neighbourhood – either by blending in or standing out.

    We place emphasis on functionality, which is why all of our appliances have been hand selected based off of valuable client feedback.

    Appliances

    Luis Barragán once said – “In the creation of architectural space, what is essential is the play of shadow and light.” (We also have a broad selection of options for lighting the home through more modern means)

    Lighting

    Millwork is the soul of your home, which is why we make capturing your lifestyle a priority through a variety of standard and custom options.

    Millwork & Detailing

    …We couldn’t be more pleased with the final outcome. Along every step of the way, we felt valued and respected. We were very involved in our project, from design to completion, and during each phase of the project we felt that we were working towards our common goal of building out dream small home.
