Soda Pop Design Inc. has orchestrated a breathtaking metamorphosis of a once utilitarian kitchen into a captivating country retreat, seamlessly merging high contrast tones with natural and manmade textures and materials in this picturesque small town. The design narrative unfolds like a harmonious ballet of light and darkness, blending rich textures with clean, graphic lines, resulting in a captivating design opus. The design honours the client’s original vision while infusing the space with a newfound dynamism.

Preserving the cherished foundations of the client’s aesthetic, Soda Pop Design Inc. retained the rustic charm of the existing barn wood floors which are rich with history and character. The charismatic butcher block island, which not only stands as a testament to the client’s distinct taste was retained as a charismatic centrepiece that doubles as a welcoming seating arrangement for family gatherings. A bespoke metal cabinet, inspired by a serendipitous discovery on the client’s travels, stands as a testament to purposeful design, paying homage to its muse while forging its unique identity within the space.

Every detail, from finishes to fixtures, has been meticulously curated to create a symphony of practicality with timeless elegance. Soda Pop Design Inc. has expertly combined easy-to-maintain finishes with those that gracefully develop a beautiful patina over time, celebrating material evolution.

A poured-in-place concrete island connecting existing structural wood columns nods to a custom concrete linear LED-lit frame, which embraces the sink window wall. This innovation elevates functionality but also infuses the kitchen with an immersive luminous quality, blurring the lines between the indoors and outdoors.

The result is a kitchen that transcends mere culinary utility, becoming a vibrant hub of communal living seamlessly integrated with the adjoining great room. Through collaborative teamwork between contractor, concrete and millwork trades and meticulous attention to detail, Soda Pop Design Inc. has transformed this property into an enchanting retreat where light and darkness, tradition and innovation, converge in a captivating design opus.
