[ Case Study ]

Elaine is a 4 unit condo project, developed on an oversized city lot. One of our biggest challenges was solving the parking situation. Through creative use of the total lot area, we were able to comfortably park 7 cars all undercover and heated. The unit mix is as follow:

• Unit 1 - Approximately 2800 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms on 2 floors The unique feature of this unit is the outdoor space. We were able to create essentially an urban oasis in the back above the building’s garage. Our design allowed for the central entertainment area,(kitchen), to open to a wonderful terrace with various level changes. We incorporated separate gardening and dining with a trellised feature at the rear for privacy.

• Unit 2 - This is truly a unique one bedroom with open-concept floor-to-ceiling windows. The key element is the cantilevered bay window in the living room. We took advantage of the drive-down garage entrance by extending the living room with a bay window. The kitchen is a galley with floor-to-ceiling windows as well. It’s simply one of my favorite spaces in this project.

• Unit 3 - This unit features open-concept living and dining with 3 en-suite bedrooms and bathrooms. The finishes are very clean-lined with stark white walls and trim and ebony floors. In my opinion, the look is super fresh and timeless. The unit also features 8-foot doors throughout with a separate laundry room that is big enough to double as additional storage.

• Unit 4 - The mirror image of unit 3. Key features of 3 and 4 they share the building’s rooftop with extensive build-outs for outdoor entertainment and city views.

• The building features a state-of-the-art elevator and access system for security and safety. All units feature private elevator access to each unit.
