Designing Model Lifestyles

Interior design. Renovation management.

“Design is not just what it looks like; it's how it feels and how it functions. A well-designed space should evoke emotions, tell a story, and reflect the unique essence of those who inhabit it."

Metropolitan Oasis

Imperial Way Second Floor Renovation

A Radiant Transformation for a Family Haven

We love creating spaces that truly represent the people who live there. We transformed this dark, storage-challenged 2nd floor into a colour-infused oasis with a master suite, a main bathroom now suitable for toddlers and grandparents, created multi-functional spaces for 2 separate full-time home offices, loads of storage and lots of sleeping space for children and guests.

Step into this fantastic child's bedroom, where we've maximized every inch of space. Infusing fun into functionality, the 4 year old claimed the bunk bed was “the best ever!”. The room embraces a vibrant spectrum of colors, with the favorite being the charming pink sofa that effortlessly converts into a bed for sleepovers.

As more individuals transitioned to remote work, it became essential to carve out a dedicated workspace for this family. In reshaping the master suite, we upgraded from a queen to a king bed, eliminated two inconveniently placed closets, and enhanced storage options – all while expanding the ensuite by reclaiming two feet of space. When the client says “It looks like it was always meant to be this way”, that’s a win!

We had so much fun infusing colour into this 2nd level.  It truly represents our clients.
