Concept for this home started with the clients’ desire for warmth, natural light and an uncluttered environment. Inspiration came from intrinsically Canadian imagery – spices, earthy browns and leafy greens, the charcoals and ambers of a campfire, all contrasted with the airy pale blue of open skies – as well as the family’s own history and needs. Specifically, the home is designed to age in place, contributing to make the generational journey a smooth transition. In furniture and accessories, materials like wool, mohair and accent silks add warmth and a richness in tactility.
