Jill Greaves Design in collaboration with Omar Gandhi Architect. Frameless glass balustrades and a folding glass NanaWall allow for truly seamless indoor-outdoor living in this home. With walnut cabinetry and floors, integrated appliances, and natural stone surfaces, this kitchen is literally a breath of fresh air.
This multi-level, residential retreat features a full-length cathedral ceiling, hardwood floors, and panoramic views. A central hearth clad in natural stone brings warmth and intimacy to this open-concept living area. Custom millwork provides hidden storage space and helps keep things easy and breezy for the owners.
Natural wood and stone salute the surrounding environment of this rural property. Whereas outdoor features are rugged, the materials inside have been refined. Stepping out from the free-standing tub, the honeycomb basalt tile is soft underfoot. The undermount sink and stone counter are solid and smooth, as is the walnut accent wall. The mirror amplifies the available natural light and, as an added feature, has a built-in night light.
A well-planned, efficient use of space, the area beneath the main staircase has been dedicated to laundry and additional built-in storage.
A spectacular seaside home that honors the vernacular style of Canada's east coast and lets the view in.
A sheltered entrance in glass and red cedar blocks the hill top wind, and welcomes people in with a wonderful view.
Peace, privacy and panorama views on the Atlantic Coast. Life is good in the Maritimes.
