We designed a multifunctional space complete with a games room and bar, a soundproof home theatre, a powder room and a wonderful gym. We wanted to design a space that was open, bright and visually interesting with lots of built-in detail to catch the eye. The custom glass countertops created by Delfina Falcao adds a certain je ne c’est quoi that catches the eye of most guests. To further add to the visual interest we incorporated several lit drywall niches, custom millwork, a glass block partition and a strongly contrasting color palette – all components that when combined create the whole. The antiquated accordion closet door was replaced with custom cherry panel doors and stainless steel reveals in the same finish as the mantel. Finally, new lighting was incorporated into the design and all was complete. Of course in an open concept design well thought out storage is a necessity. We designed a floor to ceiling, wall to wall storage unit consisting of 15×15 walnut, flat panel doors. We rotated each panel a quarter turn to create a basket weave grain design. A small detail with large impact. Functionally, the base cabinet of this unit houses a large laundry pull-out that can be accessed by the adjacent laundry room.
