The multigenerational home, a testament to the enduring power of family, presents a unique challenge: creating a space that caters to the diverse needs and preferences of multiple generations. This requires a delicate balance of individual spaces for each family unit while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic that fosters a sense of unity and belonging.
The key to achieving harmony amongst the spaces lies in a carefully curated colour scheme. A neutral palette of greys and deep wood tones provides a unifying thread throughout the home. These grounding tones are then accented with unique displays, photographs, and collections, reflecting the personalities and interests of each family unit.
Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry seamlessly blends form and function. In one of the family rooms, the TV and console serve as the focal point, perfectly integrated into the cabinetry to create a sense of cohesion. When not in use, a pair of sliding doors conceals the TV, revealing additional storage and a pantry unit.
Open display shelves are a testament to the power of personal expression in interior design. They stand as a blank canvas, inviting homeowners to curate a visual narrative of their lives, passions, and memories.
A central hub, the kitchen is equipped with ample storage and counter space while exuding calm and sophistication in every detail. The cool, white marble backsplash feels like a breath of fresh air, while the rich wood tones ground the space with warmth and stability. The view of the lush garden outside is like a secret oasis, inviting you to slow down and savour the moment. Whether you’re whipping up a gourmet meal or simply enjoying a cup of coffee, this kitchen is a sanctuary for the soul.
The kitchen island, detailed with vertical grooved panels, reveals the rich natural grain of the wood. The contrast between the cool white and deep, rich wood creates a dynamic visual dialogue between light and shadow. Wall cabinets integrated with Blum’s Servo Drive system allow smooth and effortless opening and closing of cabinet doors with a single touch. The extra countertop space, which can be concealed when not in use, is the perfect landing spot for small appliances.
The basement entertainment room is a sanctuary for movie lovers and audiophiles alike. AV equipment is concealed behind the large projector screen that sits flush with the cabinetry, promising an immersive cinematic experience. Acoustic wall panels, strategically placed throughout the room, help to absorb sound and create a more intimate and enjoyable listening environment. However, the viewing panel to the swimming pool truly sets this space apart—a glimpse of the water brings in natural light and provides a connection to the outdoors, creating a perfect retreat for relaxation and entertainment.
