Amy designed this main floor remodel and addition for a couple of her closest friends and it was truly a labour of love. Carefully infusing it with personality and a classic design, Amy blended a variety of styles to create the feeling that she wishes to create in every home she designs: one of warmth, comfort and timelessness.

Simple and efficient - the 2 key ingredients of Amy’s very own tiny bungalow, which she shares with her husband and (soon-to-be) two children. Measuring in at just 687 square feet, the simple gable structure had an inherent quaint cottage aesthetic. Playing off of the architecture’s understated design, we kept things minimal, functional and yet warm to creat our very own little English cottage in the city.

What was once made up of a series of many smaller rooms, now features a light and bright open plan fit for a large family. Walls were moved, basement stairs relocated, and an entirely new traditional, yet casual design dressed up the formerly 90s style home.

This farmhouse had been the home of one of the clients since he was a young boy. Having undergone a few additions over the many years of living there, the home was in need of a few tweaks to the layout and an overall refresh when it came to finishes and fixtures. Increasing the functionality of the laundry & mudroom were top on the clients’ wish list, as was reworking the master en suite to suit their current needs as they approached the empty nester stage of life!

The design request from the homeowners for this new build project was to create an energy efficient, sustainable home for their family of 5. The homeowners loved the minimal Scandinavian aesthetic, which Amy balanced with warm, tactile finishes like concrete and light wood tones. The end result is a playful, modern family home.
