New and existing elements designed to live in perfect harmony
Designing a room to blend with a previous renovation is always a challenge. The clients of our Lincoln Residence project tasked us with redesigning their living room so that it integrated seamlessly with the rest of the home originally designed by an architect years before. The goal was to create a modern interior, a functional yet comfortable space that could accommodate larger gatherings while maintaining the open concept of the main floor, giving the impression that it had always been part of the home's design.

Our inspiration for this light filled living room stemmed from an original painting by a local artist the client owned. The vibrant blues, teals and greens were incorporated throughout the room and paired with the large cream sectional sofa - the perfect choice for seating as it complimented the shape of the room which was open on two sides. This layout provides for optimal circulation through the first floor, from the main entrance hallway, through the living room leading into the dining and kitchen area.
In addition to the living room, we were also asked to redesign both bedrooms for their children. One bedroom was for a young teenager about to start high school that loved all things music and the other was for a university student with a passion for art that lived on campus most of the time. Both rooms feature a contemporary design aesthetic enhanced by decor that reflects the children’s interests and hobbies.
The basement was redesigned into a multi functional space serving as a work from home area and main TV room. Integrated lighting embedded in custom millwork shelves brings movement, ambience and extra storage to this highly used area for the whole family.
A redesigned outdoor backyard with a custom lighting layout and system really emphasizes the landscaping and creates a quiet oasis tucked away in the city.
The Lincoln Residence project beautifully illustrates how thoughtful design can blend new elements with existing architecture to create a cohesive and inviting home. By drawing inspiration from the client's personal artwork and incorporating their family's unique needs and interests, we crafted spaces that are not only functional but also reflect their lifestyle and enhance their daily living experience.
