Page 90 - Designing Ways 264

In the living area, a central beam and column are wrapped by wood
finishes, with bronze-coloured accent details at the top and bottom.
This acts as a sculptural piece that frees most of the original load-
bearing walls in the space. The living room and workspace are on one
side of the open floor plan and are designed with wooden millwork,
which integrates storage, display, and flip-down tables. The kitchen
and dining areas wrapped with wood panels are located on the other
side. Wooden pocket doors lead to the hidden pantry, a dog shower,
and a separate entrance to the garage.

With a four-bedroom and three-bathroom configuration on
the second floor, the design is still able to capture the hospitable
atmosphere in the space.

The emphasis on natural material, delicate details, and intricate
craftsmanship throughout the entire space reconnects the owner to
a calming and peaceful lifestyle. dw
