This country house was previously owned by Halle Berry and sits on a private lake north of Montreal. The kitchen was dated and a part of a large two storey extension which included a master bedroom and ensuite, two guest bedrooms, office, and gym. The goal for the kitchen was to create a dramatic and urban space in a rural setting. Photo : Drew Hadley

Who needs paint when you can tile the walls?

This bathroom was designed for specifically for my clients’ overnight guests. My clients felt their previous bathroom was too light and sparse looking and asked for a more intimate and moodier look. The mirror, tapware and bathroom fixtures have all been chosen for their soft gradual curves which create a flow on effect to each other, even the tiles were chosen for their flowy patterns. The smoked bronze lighting, door hardware, including doorstops were specified to work with the gun metal tapware. A 2-metre row of deep storage drawers’ float above the floor, these are stained in a custom inky blue colour – the interiors are done in Indian Ink Melamine. The existing entrance door has also been stained in the same dark blue timber stain to give a continuous and purposeful look to the room. A moody and textural material pallet was specified, this made up of dark burnished metal look porcelain tiles, a lighter grey rock salt porcelain tile which were specified to flow from the hallway into the bathroom and up the back wall. A wall has been designed to divide the toilet and the vanity and create a more private area for the toilet so its dominance in the room is minimised - the focal areas are the large shower at the end of the room bath and vanity. The freestanding bath has its own tumbled natural limestone stone wall with a long-recessed shelving niche behind the bath - smooth tiles for the internal surrounds which are mitred to the rough outer tiles all carefully planned to ensure the best and most practical solution was achieved. The vanity top is also a feature element, made in Bengal black stone with specially designed grooves creating a rock edge.

раковина была изготовлена на заказ под размеры чугунных ножек от швейной машинки любимой бабушки Любы. эта машинка имела несколько жизней, работала на семью, шила одежду, была стойкой под телефон с вертушкой, была письменным столиком для младшей школьницы, и теперь поддерживает раковину. чугунные ноги были очищены и выкрашены краской из баллончика. на стенах покрытие из микроцемента. одна стена выложена из стеклоблоков которые пропускают в помещение дневной свет.

Kleines aber feines Gäste-WC. Clever integrierter Stauraum mit einem offenen Fach und mit Türen geschlossenen Stauraum. Hinter der oberen Fuge wird die Abluft abgezogen. Besonderes Highlight ist die Woodup-Decke - die Holzlamellen ebenfalls in Eiche sorgen für das I-Tüpfelchen auf kleinem Raum.

Devon Grace Interiors designed a luxurious primary bathroom that features a grey double vanity with shaker style cabinetry doors. Ceramic wall tile, quartz countertops and backsplash, and brass wall-mounted faucets add natural textures and warmth to the space.
