Set along the Rideau River, this renovation brings calm, clarity, and quiet luxury to a once traditional home. In the primary suite, a pair of his-and-her walk-in closets leads to an ensuite shaped through intentional material mixology - natural stone, warm oak, brushed bronze, and sculptural lighting.
The palette plays with the raw and refined, creating textural richness and an immersive spatial narrative that feels serene, modern, and timeless.
