Mark Brand ArchitectureA spine wall serves as the unifying concept for our addition and remodeling work on this Victorian house in Noe Valley. On one side of the spine wall are the new kitchen, library/dining room and powder room as well as the existing entry foyer and stairs. On the other side are a new deck, stairs and “catwalk” at the exterior and the existing living room and front parlor at the interior. The catwalk allowed us to create a series of French doors which flood the interior of the kitchen with light. Strategically placed windows in the kitchen frame views and highlight the character of the spine wall as an important architectural component. The project scope also included a new master bathroom at the upper floor. Details include cherry cabinets, marble counters, slate floors, glass mosaic tile backsplashes, stainless steel art niches and an upscaled reproduction of a Renaissance era painting.

Igloo Designthe breakfast counter faces the dining room and it is meant to complement the opposite wall. The Ex Libris wallpaper by Cole & Sons used inside the glass cabinet manages to create that link and adds another dimension to the otherwise typical tall wall of cabinets.
Fulton Construction, Inc.Gorgeous new stone home on corner lot, all of the exterior stone was hand picked to ensure the exact coloring desired and the end result is stunning. Non stop curb appeal with the arches, corbels, and dreamy balconies. The interior is very contemporary, dark wood cabinetry, marble tiles, and dramatic light fixtures. A showpiece house to be sure.
DesignWorksIt was essential to keep as many modern day appliances (washing machine, freezer, microwave etc) out of sight; hidden away behind unit and cupboard doors.
Ola Jachymiak StudioNotting Hill is one of the most charming and stylish districts in London. This apartment is situated at Hereford Road, on a 19th century building, where Guglielmo Marconi (the pioneer of wireless communication) lived for a year; now the home of my clients, a french couple.
The owners desire was to celebrate the building's past while also reflecting their own french aesthetic, so we recreated victorian moldings, cornices and rosettes. We also found an iron fireplace, inspired by the 19th century era, which we placed in the living room, to bring that cozy feeling without loosing the minimalistic vibe. We installed customized cement tiles in the bathroom and the Burlington London sanitaires, combining both french and british aesthetic.
We decided to mix the traditional style with modern white bespoke furniture. All the apartment is in bright colors, with the exception of a few details, such as the fireplace and the kitchen splash back: bold accents to compose together with the neutral colors of the space.
We have found the best layout for this small space by creating light transition between the pieces. First axis runs from the entrance door to the kitchen window, while the second leads from the window in the living area to the window in the bedroom. Thanks to this alignment, the spatial arrangement is much brighter and vaster, while natural light comes to every room in the apartment at any time of the day.

Flat Pack Kitchen DesignThis very British inspired racing car green custom kitchen. The London Underground and Sherlock Holmes inspired this design with rich deep colors and textures. The kitchen is inspired by the British racing car green accented with brass in the hardware, plumbing and lighting by Timothy Oulton. All cabinet interiors and shelving are finished in a warm walnut and the kitchen is accented in deep onyx Richlite. All finishes have been flown in from the UK and authentic Victorian touches adorn this space. From deeply textured wallpaper, custom lighting, wall tile used in the London Underground train stations. Every detail will complete this British design to match the client's British car collection that resides on the 1st floor garage space.
Igloo DesignThe antique chandelier had come with this typical Montreal townhouse and it was on top of the dining table, we relocated it to the sitting area at the end of the kitchen since the client wanted to keep it and we fell in love with its form and patina. The fine pattern on the wall tiles echo the silhouette of the fixture and the colouration paves the way for its bold presence. This combination of elements along with the narrow layout of the house created one of the most coziest corners we have ever facilitated.
Elegant in DesignThe brief for this grand old Taringa residence was to blur the line between old and new. We renovated the 1910 Queenslander, restoring the enclosed front sleep-out to the original balcony and designing a new split staircase as a nod to tradition, while retaining functionality to access the tiered front yard. We added a rear extension consisting of a new master bedroom suite, larger kitchen, and family room leading to a deck that overlooks a leafy surround. A new laundry and utility rooms were added providing an abundance of purposeful storage including a laundry chute connecting them.
Selection of materials, finishes and fixtures were thoughtfully considered so as to honour the history while providing modern functionality. Colour was integral to the design giving a contemporary twist on traditional colours.
DesignWorksBespoke larder cupboards and drawers provide a fabulous focal point as well as providing ample storage.
Bauer Design GroupThis is a better view of the kitchen. We used solid cherry wood cabinetry and high end kitchen appliances. Skylights were added to allow more light into the space.
