The stunning new build designed by Smitherickson Designs Inc. is a true masterpiece that overlooks a beautiful crystal-clear lake. The interior of the home perfectly reflects its serene surroundings, with an airy and light-filled atmosphere that is both inviting and warm. The overall effect of the design is understated elegance, creating a truly welcoming and comfortable home.

Smitherickson Designs Inc. approached this stunning new build with the intent of creating a home that not only reflects current design trends but also evokes a feeling of times past. The result is an inviting home that exudes understated elegance, with its light, bright, and airy interiors that offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Each element of this home was thoughtfully designed and carefully selected to create a look that appears to have been curated over time. The initial inspiration for the design was a French Chateau, which the designers built upon with fine attention to detail, nodding to old-world design while blending in modern-day functionality.

The custom millwork, artisan finish plasterwork, and custom metalwork are all testaments to the exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into every aspect of the design. Every space in the home is thoughtfully designed to be functional and beautiful, from the grand living areas to the more intimate spaces.

The grandness of this home is evident in its volume in height in some areas, while the more intimate spaces reflect the designers’ ability to create a comfortable and liveable yet elegant atmosphere. The interiors are designed to offer a seamless flow from one space to another, creating a sense of harmony and balance throughout the home. Functionality was a key consideration in designing this home, with a focus on creating spaces that cater to the everyday needs of its occupants. From the well-appointed kitchen to the seamlessly connected living areas, every element has been thoughtfully crafted to facilitate socializing and togetherness. This is a home that’s perfect for those who enjoy cooking and spending quality time with loved ones in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
