Hudson Home

This three bedroom, two-bathroom 1920’s Edwardian home is nestled in the Beaches neighbourhood of Toronto. Despite having a narrow footprint typical for the area, the house was recently expanded through a thoughtfully planned and executed renovation increasing the living space from 1,904 sq.ft to 2,414 sq.ft by adding 15 ft to the back of the home.

The home owners were looking for a main floor and kitchen upgrade that told their story, one that was personal and reflected their tastes and lifestyle and offered an emotional connection. The original kitchen was small and cramped. The redesign not only focused on improving the kitchen, but the extra square footage also allowed for the addition of a family room that has significantly changed how the family uses the space and spend time together.

To really personalize this space the owners were open to mixing different styles, bold art work, eclectic furnishings, vibrant hues and integrating intricate pattern play into the design. We used high quality and tactile materials like velvet. We chose hand-crafted designs and moved away from the trend-driven consumption. Expressive colour palettes such as jewel tones and warm ochres were incorporated instead of the neutral beige and grey palettes long favoured in home decor. The result is a home that is rich in personality, while retaining a refined and curated sensibility.
