Well-organized kitchens offer plenty of storage
In the two-bedroom show suite, the den is presented as a multipurpose room and a good place for the TV.
“The living room is more an entertaining room with vistas of English Bay — it’s really more of a space for lounging, relaxing, or entertaining than for the TV,” she adds.
Pereira says the kitchens in the development are a standout.
“The kitchen is so well organized with plenty of storage in pullout drawers and cabinets. They are accessorized with all the organizers, so there are places to put plates, pots and platters,” she says.
Countertops, including on the three-by-nine-foot island, are a light-coloured Caesarstone quartz with a honed finish, while the Carrara marble hexagon-shaped tiles in the backsplash are inspired by the original buildings of that shape that were constructed along nearby Beach Avenue in the 1960s, says Pereira.
Although the residents at Mirabel are expected to dine out often at the many restaurants in the West End, the kitchen includes high-end appliances like a SubZero refrigerator and freezer and a Wolf cooktop and wall oven along with a Bosch dishwasher.
However, black accents such as the faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms, and the frame of the den’s steel and glass doors add a contemporary flair to the space, says Pereira.
“The doors slide so you can open up the den area to the other rooms or close it off and enjoy it as a private space,” she adds.
The doors, that can be seen in the show suite, are a focal point in the larger two-bedroom units only.
In the master ensuite, the hexagon shaped Carrara marble tile is used above the countertop line while the same marble in 12-by-24inch tiles covers the walls and floor.
The clean lines of the matteblack Odin tap-ware fixtures by Brizo contribute to the elegance of the ensuite that also includes a wall-hung toilet by Duravit and a free-standing soaker tub by Victoria and Albert. A Carrara slab tops the vanity with double sinks, while concealed lighting behind the mirror adds a stylish touch.
The black corner structure of glass shower enclosure continues the theme of black accents that punctuate the design of the unit.
Residents will have access to an indoor and outdoor amenity space above the podium, a well-equipped gym and a children’s play area.
Paolella says construction on Mirabel at English Bay is scheduled to start late in 2017 or early 2018.
