The location of this project is sweet - you are steps away from Glenmore Athletic Park and the Tennis Dome is just across the street, and you’ve got breathtaking Mountain views from your private roof-top patio. Each of the 4 units has over 1500 square feet of develop space and a yard to spill out onto when the sun is shining. There are 4 massive mature trees on the property to help you get the right amount of green in your life. You’ll love the raw, natural texture of cedar in an amazing vertical screen that really makes the facade pop. *Photos are from previous project* *Click on the map to view all projects* Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances are set into custom cabinetry, and white oak open shelving is a gorgeous place to display accessories and keepsakes. White marbled quartz countertops and black hardware is used throughout the kitchen and again in the master bath for a striking modern touch. Tilework in both spaces is original and inspired. Light flows from above and below through the stairwell, where intricately placed cut-outs and niche details add architectural interest and a bit of drama to the open plan. You’ll never want to leave this living room, anchored by a handsome gas fireplace wrapped in large-format tile that suggests raw concrete.

We turned this design on its ear to make the most of the lot’s avenue-facing side, and its streetfacing side. Over 1500 square feet of developed space includes 3 bedrooms, plus west facing back yards that are outfitted for all your BBQ needs. There’s a West Coast modern feel to third-floor loft featuring vaulted ceilings and private rooftop patio perfect for entertaining. The exterior façade pops with an eye-catching array of pattern, texture and contrast. Black vertical corrugated metal and natural cedar in a chevron pattern combine with pitched roofs and crisp white stucco to show-stopping effect. *Click on the map to view all projects* Grey concrete hex tile in the front entrance sets the stage for our theme of layered patterns. A light two-toned kitchen is punctuated with a black hex tile backsplash set against a rich deep grey quartz and accented with warm pendant lighting. The powder room pops with a splash of black and white tile and the black metal screen that is a feature of the main floor stairwell is a stunner. The play of light and dark continues upstairs with light grey millwork and bright rooms grounded with black and white accents.
