RIDGE ROAD
With a bustling household, this busy family needed to open up their compartmentalized home with a main floor transformation. Structural elements of the space were recomposed to achieve a bright family-friendly living space, revealing a luxurious new home hidden within its prior configuration.
High-end finishes and deep wood tones maintain an elegant style without sacrificing the warm feelings essential to any large family space. The rich blue accents throughout the bright space offer bursts of colour that add to, rather than distract from the carefully cultivated décor.

Showcase
While our luxury custom builds and full-scale renovations are unique to our client's visions, each showcases our team's dedication to superior craftsmanship and elegant problem-solving. The limits of your imagination when envisioning your dream home are our only limits in its realization! With a talented team of architects, designers and contractors on hand even the most intricate requests are adeptly met. See for yourself; at Ridgeline, dreams come to life and expectations are exceeded.
Our team was committed to ensuring minimal disruptions for this on-the-go family and successfully worked within very tight timelines to complete the project from start to finish. With methodical engineering practices and sophisticated solutions to structural challenges, Ridgeline completely altered the main floor in ten weeks. Now, the whole family can gather in a space that looks like a new house and feels like home.
Imagine uniting a world of travel and luxury high-end hotel finishings with the comforts of home. Our team worked closely with our clients who had spent a year accumulating images and ideas from their travels to do just that. The end result was an incredibly modern, smart, and elegant master bedroom, closet and ensuite that exude luxury.
Working alongside an interior designer whose 3D rendering was imperative to realizing this luxury hotel look, we brought a very specific vision to life. What makes this space so special, though, is the plethora of unique finishes and features. In the bathroom, a beautiful, modern wall-hung toilet, barrier-free shower, and bronzed backlit mirrors create a jaw-dropping room that will meet the needs of this couple now and in the future. The closet is modern and functional (complete with a hidden ironing board) and the bedroom boasts dual floating walnut vanities and a vaulted ceiling that add space and light. Now, this couple can return from their world travels and enjoy the VIP experience they've grown accustomed to in their own home.
This bright artsy addition was designed and built for an avid gardener desperate for more natural light. The off-white and muted wood tones used throughout the addition enhance the vividness of the nearby gardens and entice light to reflect within the space.
A statement gas fireplace was added and designed to match a wood-burning one which supports a cherished mantle of driftwood plucked from the sands of Prince Edward Island. Together, these elements create a nostalgic, personalized area for mindful reflection.
In the kitchen, the custom cabinetry wears the same soft palette of bright woods and white tones. Open one of these cabinets and you’ll activate interior lighting – perfect for entertaining as the late afternoon light wanes. Even as it does though, the large, picturesque windows we installed (hand-selected by our client) continue to warm the space into the twilight hours.
This spacious addition is a reminder that our homes should integrate with outdoor spaces in a way that enhances the value and enjoyment found on both sides of the door.
UNDERMOUNT
Creating a large, modern extension to blend seamlessly with the original style of this 100-year-old Victorian home was the perfect challenge for our team. The remodel of this kitchen was a dream for these culinary enthusiasts, proving that they are epicures of not just food, but design as well. A far cry from the former century-old galley, this renovated kitchen and dining space now provide the functionality and storage of a professional kitchen without the cold, sterile steel look.
Hidden inside the walk-in pantry you’ll find stellar blue cabinetry created with function and design in mind. The custom millwork cleverly conceals two sets of double-door fridges. From the fridge, our clients can find all the space required for realizing their favourite recipes while working at their immense kitchen island, customized especially for their needs.
It’s hard to believe this century-old home could be transformed so spectacularly, but thoughtful consideration of architectural and historical features helped to realize our clients’ vision. Old-school engineering work was brought into the 21st century while ensuring that the beautiful brickwork and original Victorian style were honoured. The custom crown moulding above the large contemporary windows provides that old-world feel and plenty of light for this family of four to gather – whether they’re grabbing breakfast or prepping an amuse-bouche.
A complete remodel of this entire home provided the flow and functionality our clients hoped for, within a space that befittingly showcased their favourite artwork and unique elements of personal self-expression. An artistic spirit is apparent throughout the home as complimentary tones of blues, greys, and whites reflect and enhance the ethereal worlds depicted in their cherished art collection.
Art is just one of the passions of this family, who also required a kitchen suited to their love of cooking. Vast counter space with high-end finishes and substantial storage in the form of elegant cabinetry frame the centrepiece – a beautifully anachronistic oven imported from France. With its pastel cerulean colour, the range draws the eye and evokes the homeowners’ artistic sensibilities.
Similar pops of blue infuse the rest of the home with this cool worldliness, from the refinished bathroom with its walk-in closet, to the décor surrounding the stonework fireplace. This domestic composition is one which could surely fit in alongside our clients’ collection.
Here, our clients hoped to introduce a mix of modern elements to their traditional country home. The space was remodelled from top to bottom as we accommodated the varying objectives of the homeowners. Structurally, this included installing coffer ceilings and elongating select windows to reach the floor. These windows, as well as heightened ceilings, make the most out of the light for this East-facing home, which is finally a fitting welcome for the glorious morning sun.
Moving through the home, modern touches can be found throughout, especially in the kitchen and main living areas. A stylish wood-front fireplace provides the perfect place to gather and relax, while a newly optimized kitchen with an array of strategically positioned storage spaces, modern accoutrements, and traditional mouldings makes entertaining a breeze.
Accessibility and the ability to age in place was another priority for this couple. To achieve both, we ensured our clients’ essentials were designed for the main floor. The installation of a roll-in and barrier-free steam shower, and small accommodative features like the sliding ladder in the roomy walk-in closet ensure this space will stand the test of time. Now a beautiful, functional, and elegant space, this couple no longer need to consider moving from the place they've so lovingly called home.
