Project Overview


The West Gate project involved a comprehensive whole-house renovation aimed at modernizing the space while allowing for simplicity in design. The goal was to create a versatile and contemporary home environment that could be easily customized by the clients. The renovation included creating an open concept by removing walls, adding a walk-in pantry, updating bathrooms, and developing a downstairs living area for potential future renters. The basement was enhanced with a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living area, home gym, and a dry sauna for added luxury.

Design and Renovation Process


The renovation focused on updating the entire home to achieve a modern, open-concept layout. Key features included:

  • Open Concept: Walls were removed to create a fluid, open living space.
  • Walk-In Pantry: A new pantry area was added off the kitchen for convenience.
  • Basement Conversion: The basement was transformed into a multi-functional space with a new kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living area, and home gym, complete with a dry sauna.
  • Modern Fixtures: The bathrooms were updated with modern fixtures, including a walk-in shower, standalone tub, and heated flooring.
  • Custom Millwork: Upstairs, custom millwork cabinets and stainless steel appliances were added to the kitchen and pantry.
