The developer wants this project to have a modern, sleek, open concept feel that evokes tranquility with soft beach glass and driftwood tones for the exterior and interior finishes. This project is situated very near the ocean and so we have designed the buildings to take full advantage of the beautiful beach views that this property has to offer.

You will see how we will tie in the exterior architecture with the interior finishes and that the whole site will flow with continuity right down to the landscape design.

This project is in the preliminary stages of design development, so we thought we would give you a sneak peek of the rough 3-D concept even though it is far from being complete. As a matter of fact, you will be surprised how much the design will evolve before the end product is finalized.

We will be bringing you updates every step along the way so stay tuned to see for yourself.

We are so excited to share with you our new website!

We hope you enjoy perusing the site and familiarizing yourself with our services.

As most good design is a collaborative effort, we would like to express our appreciation to the people that helped put our new website together.

Sarah Iles of Pink Frog Social Marketing for her openness to working in conjunction with someone who has a graphic arts background with strong ideas of how the end design should look and feel. She is a great listener and all the branding, logo and website etc. all have a solid continuity with a clean yet confident aesthetic.

Matt Magi of Voltage New Media for accommodating all my specific requests for the website design helping to create a more user-friendly custom website.

Jason Van Der Valk for some of the photography and video work.

Nick Baker for initiating the website design and countless hours of code work.

Thank you, we are very pleased with the result. You are all wonderful people and we enjoyed working with you.

The plans of this home were completely designed by principal designer Rena Poulsen.  She was also responsible for coordinating the building of the home as well as all the interior and exterior finishes, features and furnishings.

Most the interior finishes are neutral in colour scheme so that any accent colour choice can be implemented easily through changing either some accessories or perhaps an accent wall or ceiling colour.

The beautiful surroundings of this west coast retreat were front and centre for inspiration of the finishes implemented in the interior design as well as the custom designed furnishings made of fir.

The contemporary design concept of this McDonald’s Restaurant project was inspired by some of the architectural exterior details of this multi-use condominium and retail development.

The selection of natural materials such as slate and wood carry the exterior detailing through to the interior and make it an inviting comfortable space to enjoy.

This photo of the fireplace feature showcases the direction the company is incorporating into their new, more updated restaurants. Green slate and frosted glass panels that incase dried tree branches serves as a back drop to this more lounge like area of the restaurant.

The use of this bold and confident colour scheme makes for a delightful inviting environment.

People are so attracted to colour and it is apparent from the clothes that they wear to the flowers they arrange.  It always makes people feel happy and so it would be great if more people could adopt their love of colour and have it translated to their personal spaces to enjoy.

A rich colour scheme was selected to enhance an urban lounge feel and allow the restaurant to be in the same company as neighbouring businesses in this hip location.

A complete overhaul was needed that included all the interior finishes as well as all the furnishings and window treatments to update this home which had wonderful potential since the house had great architectural ‘bones’.

Among some of the changes the feature fireplace wall was sheathed in drywall and a new contemporary fireplace surround was designed to transform this room. A custom metal and slate coffee table at the center of the room are just some of the finishing details that round out the welcoming space which are also mirrored in the custom bar stools and hand railing.

Although the interior renovation of this home was designed around a decade ago, it illustrates that the design is still relevant today and that it is possible to have a design that has longevity.

All the wish list items were achieved in the design of the home and the client also required consultation with selection of finishes both on the exterior and interior of the home.
