PROJECTS | Custom Build nearing completion

10 months of construction and we're almost there.  Check out the latest on the Custom Building in North Toronto - finishes and cabinets are in, we have running water and best of all electricity!

This house is really a story of details - from the aluminum reveal at the ceilings that's also carried into the detailing at the kitchen, to the custom maple panelling at the entry, study and guest room, the stunning wood front entry door to the mix of materials that are combined both on the exterior and interior.

And probably the most dramatic detail in the house, the amazing open riser white oak stair with custom, custom, custom glass railings and pronounced curb detail in the two storey centre space.

PROJECTS | More progress at the latest Custom Build

We're excited to see this house come up out of the ground.  Next up - the roof.

PROJECTS | New Custom Build Started

As our other Custom Build commences the finishing stages of construction, we have started a new build just north of the city in Thornhill.  The old house has come down and we've got the very deep hole dug for the foundations and have progressed to ground floor framing.  We hope by Christmas to have the shell of the house up and standing.  Check back frequently for progress on this latest project.

PROJECTS | Floors, Stairs and Shakes

Our custom build in Midtown Toronto is really taking shape now.  Slotted for completion early next year, with floors, stair details and the exterior trim now in place, we're finally seeing some of the great architectural lines enhanced.

We specified 5" rift and quartered white oak site finished floors that have turned out beautifully.   The clients were looking for a light and neutral floor so we opted to forego any stain and simply applied urethane.

The stairs are also white oak.  These open riser stairs help to filter light down from the third floor skylights and are a fantastic architectural backdrop to the open dining room.  We have foregone standard railings and have created channels in the stair stringer and extended curbs along the catwalk to later house sleek glass guardrails.

On the exterior, we're nearly complete with the installation of the natural cedar shakes with crisp and contrasting James Hardie Trim.
