Ernest

North York, Ontario

"A full renovation for the 1000 sqf. main floor of this North York bungalow gets an ultra-modern upgrade."

During the design phase at the Ernest Residence, we started our concepts with the existing kitchen’s footprint that was closed off and cluttered. It was a challenge playing around with a layout that worked for a space like this and we finally decided on turning the kitchen into a larger galley style.

We opened up the wall to the dining room where the original oven was to create a symmetrical look and feel while moving the oven to the center of the wall opposite the sink. This created much more countertop and prep space in addition to maximizing storage. We decided on no uppers around the sink as we wanted to maximize the light into the kitchen and avoid anything being visually heavy.

Ernest’s original layout had a deep pantry where we placed the fridge and designed flush base cabinets and uppers for a seamless, sleek look with more storage and extra counter space. All the cabinets are either fingertip pulls or push open.

Modern Dining Room

Ernest’s dining room features a teardrop pendant over an Italian-made wood table with a sculptural base opposite an antique sideboard. The different styles and textures of the two pieces complement each other against a neutral backdrop.

Porcelain tile along the foyer staircase was chosen as it was a high-traffic area and easy to maintain.

Italian furniture for the dining room and primary bedroom completes this very minimal and clutter free palette with pops of colour throughout the home against a crisp white background.

Our Client's Testimonial

I cant even start to explain how happy and pleased I was to work with Level Studio. I met Luca and Vinh about a year before the project started. As soon as they walked into my home and we started talking I knew they were the ones. Our whole upstairs was renovated with the kitchen being focus of the project. I had other contractors who came and gave me ideas as well as friends and nothing seemed right to me with their suggestions with my kitchen but Luca walked in that morning and said to me lets do this, this and that and I said BINGO! What an excellent idea! From that point on I worked with Luca, he was amazing in all aspects of a designer and project leader. Luca’s selection of colours, tiles, paint, layout was exactly what I wanted. He made me feel at ease and comfortable with every decision made. I went against a few of his decisions but then realized no, he is right! Luca’s detail and precision was impeccable. All his trades were on time, excellent to work with and the project was done way before the deadline. He wanted me in my surroundings before Christmas and I was! I have no words to express how happy I was with his work, ideas, and customer service. What a gentleman! I would fully endorse and refer Luca and Vinh to anyone, what a great company, team and such wonderful guys. Thank you for the millionth time Luca and Vinh.
