Art & Stone Group has been shortlisted for the Living Space – Canada Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2022.

Natural materials and textures bring life to this home, where Art & Stone Group were able to meet their client’s wish list as well as create a beautifully aesthetic home. The flow of design is what most people comment on at the end of a tour of the home. It is a minimal, organic single-family home, with a Scandinavian and Japanese essence.

The clients wanted their home to feel bright and airy while keeping a minimal yet comfortable, organic feel. They are avid travellers, and with the house being designed and built during the covid pandemic, the spaces and finishes were created to feel like many of the places they love travelling to. They also wanted many areas within the home where each family member could retreat to, to have some alone time, without it being in a bedroom. Therefore, Art & Stone created a beautiful and cosy reading nook on the bedroom level, as well as a nook in one of the offices. The last element of the brief was to use natural textures as much as possible in the home, without making their home feel rustic

The main floor’s kitchen, dining and living had to be open as the homeowners love to entertain and wanted to maximize the space for entertainment. The kitchen is the heart of the home. It has a seemingly minimal look to it though it has intricately worked details; master cabinet makers created all of the millwork to ensure that the details Art & Stone Group were envisioning were done to perfection. All appliances except the stove are hidden behind cabinetry, leaving the eye wondering to the clever lower level of the island. The hood fan detail reflects the island table. The 3-sided waterfall island can also be used as a bar for cocktails, but also offer a large unobstructed surface for food preparation. The lower level of the island pulls from the typical Japanese style restaurant, which is one of the clients’ favourite places.
