Family Room

Retreat in the City

The origin of the design comes from the concept of Wabi-Sabi, which is defined as the art of imperfect beauty. This design utilizes neutrality of color to draw attention to rough, smooth, and mid-grained textures used throughout the space. The transformed space provides a calming ambiance that evokes feelings of zen and relaxation. The simplistic and earthy aesthetic provides an overall sense of tranquility to this design.

Hypnotic Lounge

Nightlight in the city was something my clients felt they were missing during the pandemic, so we decided to bring the party to them. The design concept is based on the dark side of hypnotism, utilizing pattern and repetition to create a mesmerizing space. This entrancing room welcomes you to the dark side with a drink in hand and encourages you to stay awhile.

The O'Connor Residence

Inspired by the terrain in PEI, this concept aims to embrace natural shapes and forms "of the Earth." With curvilinear lines and materiality that reflect movement, the organic and earthy essence is exemplified. Rich jewel tones are carried throughout to achieve a moody aesthetic, while repetition of materiality mimics the harmonious qualities of nature. Through the established elements and principles of design, the chosen selections create a feeling of energy, flow, and movement. The style of the home visually energizes the occupant and simultaneously invites them to explore a range of sensations.

Luxury Walk-In Closet

This walk-in closet design provides a lavish feel by using luxe materiality, light colours, and innovative lighting solutions. The design focuses on integrating a variety of functional storage options while remaining chic and high-end.
