Heavy Metal Magic

For this 1920s classroom-turned-condo on Hazelton Avenue, Casey Design gets nostalgic with a makeover that recalls the luxury and grandeur of a turn-of-the-century Parisian apartment. If the jewel of the home is the kitchen, then the crowning glory is its opulent 4-metre-tall bronze and glass accordion door system fabricated by Demansou Construction, which combines geometric shapes and window-pane patterning. Fashionable and functional, the dividers offer privacy when needed and easily fold away along a concealed track, making for a gilded, architectural entrance to the elegant cooking space beyond. The bright white kitchen boasts high-gloss finishes and counters made of Cosentino’s Silestone, as well as Calacatta Oro marble from Ciot to bounce sunlight from two narrow windows upward and accentuate the relatively small space’s ceiling height. Honey tones give a soft and glamorous conclusion to the room, with a floating shelf system for everyday dishware in bronze and white oak, a floor to match, and a Waterworks faucet in brilliant brass from Ginger’s.
