CLEAN SLATE
This three-storey house had never been renovated. Spacemaker came up with a design plan that altered each of the levels, most dramatically the basement, which more than tripled in size. The result is a home (Middle Eastern themed to reflect the owners’ heritage) that’s not only striking, but practical and welcoming.
ENTERTAINMENT
As entertaining is important to the owners, Spacemaker allowed for a large, well-equipped all-weather outdoor zone, which would easily flow into the inside.
