A Waterfront Patio With a Sense of Humor

The original kitchen was inadequate and suffered from poor workflow and a severe lack of functional storage. To truly meet the client's needs, we designed a custom addition. This allowed us to dramatically expand the footprint, reengineering the space to prioritize efficiency. By building out and incorporating bespoke cabinetry, we created a newkitchen that offers superior storage and a seamless workflow, transforming it into a beautiful and highly efficient space.

From a seasonal retreat to a year-round sanctuary. Turning this cottage into their forever home, we stripped away the dark and heavy elements—swapping the old stone fireplace for a lighter stone and opening up the walls. We also designed custom bunk beds for the grandkids, ensuring the house is ready to host the next generation. This transformation created a bright and inviting atmosphere, layering the space with warmth, comfort, and the unmistakable feeling of home. Here’s what they had to say "Over the years, Sylvie has worked together with us, in our new home builds and the renovation of our small cottage into a beautiful lake home. Sylvie understood our visions and helped us to make it a reality. She brings her expertise, attention to detail & her fun personality into every project that we bring her. It has been a real pleasure working with Sylvie and would highly recommend her to family & friends for their future projects." -Sandra & Robert   Before After     

This home originally felt compartmentalized,  with a small, outdated kitchen and formal living areas that rarely saw use. To support their love of entertaining, we completely reimagined the footprint, removing walls to merge the previously separate rooms into one spacious, open-concept gathering place. The design is deeply personal: the entire color palette was drawn from a cherished painting,  which now holds a place of honor above the fireplace.  A custom wine cellar completes the transformation,  blending functional luxury with a home designed for hosting family & friends.  The real reward, though, came after installing the furniture,  window treatments, and accessories were in place, seeing  Steven and Judy sit down, look around, and share a moment  of pure awe—that feeling of 'this is ours'—was the perfect  finale."
