Project Sherlock

Residence

In Toronto’s Lawrence Park, this once mismatched home was reimagined with a modern Parisian farmhouse sensibility - tailored and full of rustic character. An antique apothecary-style pantry and charming powder room speak to French influences while warm wood, black accents, and subtle equestrian details integrate a passion and love for riding. Designed for a beautiful family of four and approved by their infamous dog detective, Sherlock.
