West Highlands Home Renovation

TVL Creative Ltd.

This 1910 West Highlands home was so compartmentalized that you couldn't help to notice you were constantly entering a new room every 8-10 feet. There was also a 500 SF addition put on the back of the home to accommodate a living room, 3/4 bath, laundry room and back foyer - 350 SF of that was for the living room. Needless to say, the house needed to be gutted and replanned. Kitchen+Dining+Laundry-Like most of these early 1900's homes, the kitchen was not the heartbeat of the home like they are today. This kitchen was tucked away in the back and smaller than any other social rooms in the house. We knocked out the walls of the dining room to expand and created an open floor plan suitable for any type of gathering. As a nod to the history of the home, we used butcherblock for all the countertops and shelving which was accented by tones of brass, dusty blues and light-warm greys. This room had no storage before so creating ample storage and a variety of storage types was a critical ask for the client. One of my favorite details is the blue crown that draws from one end of the space to the other, accenting a ceiling that was otherwise forgotten. Primary Bath-This did not exist prior to the remodel and the client wanted a more neutral space with strong visual details. We split the walls in half with a datum line that transitions from penny gap molding to the tile in the shower. To provide some more visual drama, we did a chevron tile arrangement on the floor, gridded the shower enclosure for some deep contrast an array of brass and quartz to elevate the finishes. Powder Bath-This is always a fun place to let your vision get out of the box a bit. All the elements were familiar to the space but modernized and more playful. The floor has a wood look tile in a herringbone arrangement, a navy vanity, gold fixtures that are all servants to the star of the room - the blue and white deco wall tile behind the vanity. Full Bath-This was a quirky little bathroom that you'd always keep the door closed when guests are over. Now we have brought the blue tones into the space and accented it with bronze fixtures and a playful southwestern floor tile. Living Room & Office-This room was too big for its own good and now serves multiple purposes. We condensed the space to provide a living area for the whole family plus other guests and left enough room to explain the space with floor cushions. The office was a bonus to the project as it provided privacy to a room that otherwise had none before.

Pantin - Stéphane

Hopen

« L’esthétisme économique » Ancien fleuron industriel, la ville de Pantin semble aujourd’hui prendre une toute autre dimension. Tout change très vite : Les services, les transports, l’urbanisme,.. Beaucoup de personnes sont allés s’installer dans cette ville de plus en plus prospère. C’est le cas notamment de Stéphane, architecte, 41 ans, qui quitta la capitale pour aller installer ses bureaux au delà du périphérique dans un superbe atelier en partie rénové. En partie car les fenêtres étaient toujours d’origine ! En effet, celles-ci dataient de 1956 et étaient composées d’aluminium basique dont les carreaux étaient en simple vitrage, donc très énergivores. Le projet de Stephane était donc de finaliser cette rénovation en modernisant, notamment, ses fenêtres. En tant qu’architecte, il souhaitait conserver une harmonie au sein des pièces, pour maintenir cette chaleur et cette élégance qu’ont souvent les ateliers. Cependant, Stephane disposait d’un budget précis qu’il ne fallait surtout pas dépasser. Quand nous nous sommes rencontrés, Stephane nous a tout de suite dit « J’aime le bois. J’ai un beau parquet, je souhaite préserver cet aspect d’antan. Mais je suis limité en terme de budget ». Afin d’atteindre son objectif, Hopen a proposé à Stephane un type de fenêtre très performant dont l’esthétisme respecterait ce désir d’élégance. Nous lui avons ainsi proposé nos fenêtres VEKA 70 PVC double vitrage avec finition intérieur en aspect bois. Il a immédiatement trouvé le rapport qualité/prix imbattable (Stephane avait d’autres devis en amont). 4 jours après, la commande était passée. Stéphane travaille désormais avec ses équipes dans une atmosphère chaleureuse, conviviale et authentique. Nous avons demandé à Stephane de définir HOPEN en 3 mots, voilà ce qu’il a répondu : « Qualité, sens de l’humain, professionnalisme » Descriptif technique des ouvrants installés : 8 fenêtres de type VEKA70 PVC double vitrage à ouverture battantes en finition aspect bois de H210 X L85 1 porte-fenêtres coulissante de type VEKA 70 PVC double vitrage en finition aspect bois de H 230 X L 340

A living room, often referred to as a lounge room in Australia and New Zealand, is the hub of the home. If you only have one living room in the house, it’s likely to serve multiple purposes: be it a place to watch TV, play games, spend quality time with family or hang out with friends. If you have the luxury of two living areas, one is usually a formal living room or lounge room, reserved for reading, relaxing and entertaining. A successful living room design is inviting, has enough seating for the whole clan – a comfortable couch is a must – and encourages conversation. Browse photos on Houzz for living room layouts, furniture and decor, and strike up a conversation with the interior designers or architects of your favourite picks. For even more living room ideas, check out the Stories section on Houzz.

Which living room layouts will work best for you?

Every living area will have design challenges. A long, narrow lounge room, for example, risks looking like a hallway if furniture is lined up against the walls. Instead, opt for small furniture items, like a cosy two-seater couch, and create various focal points throughout the space. In square living rooms, a symmetrical layout encourages a formal setting. Place seating on either side of the room, with a focal point in the middle to pull the room together. For a truly intimate vibe, replace your couch with some occasional chairs positioned around a coffee table or ottoman. This will make the main focus conversation. An open-plan home – one where the lines are blurred between kitchen, dining and living – may require a layout that focuses on definition. You’ll want to make sure furniture doesn’t block the flow between spaces, and instead use something like an area rug to create zones.

How can you decorate your living room?

The living room can be a place in which to show off your personality, but if you want a timeless living room scheme, stick to neutral walls, couches and ottomans. Colour can be added through accessories, and is a lot more interchangeable! Rugs, cushions and throws are great for adding colour, while mirrors, lamps and ceiling lights will set the mood. Make your living room unique by including family heirlooms and photos. For a polished look, try creating a coffee table vignette – you could use books as pedestals or group items together on a tray. Try adding a vase, a mixture of round and rectangular objects and some books.

What are some small living room ideas?

Small living room designs can be tricky to work with, but aren’t doomed to fail. Often, you just have to get creative with furniture. An open-back chaise can create a sense of spaciousness, while small side tables paired together can substitute a coffee table. Even better, an ottoman can be used as a footrest, coffee table or extra seating. Big furniture items like the couch are best kept in light colours, and if there’s room for a coffee table, a glass-top one is best. If you have two spaces in one – perhaps your living room sits in front of a single-wall kitchen – make sure they are connected by decor, colour and style. For definition, just add area rugs, or use your couch as a dividing wall. It’s worth having a few furniture pieces, whether a bookshelf, couch or entertainment unit, in the same colour as the walls, too, so they blend into the room and visually expand the space.

Is open-plan living for you?

Today’s homes often embrace open-plan living, whereby the living room runs off the kitchen and/or dining areas. Open-plan living allows greater functionality, but can risk creating a vast, soulless space if not done right. To avoid a cavernous feel in an open-plan design, define areas with furniture, rugs and lighting, or consider using a wall divider. Also be sure to keep flooring, lighting and materials consistent throughout, for cohesiveness. Noise may be an issue – someone banging pots and pans while you’re watching TV, for example – so include lots of soft furnishings, such as rugs, curtains and couches to help absorb the noise. You will also need to factor in plenty of storage, so mess is kept at bay.
