The client
wanted to update the finishes of her new townhouse as well as resolve some
of the inherent space planning problems in the existing layout. The first
floor was a combination of Entry, Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen, with
no real definition of each space.
In order
to resolve the problem of seeing the Kitchen from the Front Entry, we installed
a new frosted Plexiglas screen suspended by floor-to-ceiling stainless steel
rods. This system is primarily used for interior signage, but in this case
made an excellent light-weight screen.
The existing
granite top kitchen cabinet island was reworked to float on wheels as well
as accommodate a wine rack. A new stainless steel top was also added
In the Living
Room, the fireplace surround was replaced with a much simpler MDF one, stained
to match the wall accent colour in the Dining Room. A black marble hearth
was also installed to match the existing black marble surrounding the firebox.
After some
minor electrical revisions, and the addition of more ceiling light fixtures,
the entire interior of the town house was given a new paint colour scheme. |
