Estate homes in Bayview Hill, executive builds out toward Oak Ridges — Richmond Hill's rooms run large, and that's what a Toronto-based studio working across York Region designs for: full-scope residential design and renovation direction.

Designing for the estate lot

Bayview Hill and the ravine-lot streets north of it are where most of our Richmond Hill work happens — custom and estate homes built from the late 1990s through the 2010s, usually with a formal living and dining room at the front and a separate family room off the kitchen at the back. The rooms are large by GTA standards, which sounds like an easy brief until you're standing in a 20-foot great room with a fireplace wall, three doorways, and nowhere obvious to put a sofa that doesn't feel lost.

Closer to Yonge Street, the stock gets older and smaller — Mill Pond's postwar bungalows and the walk-up condo corridor that has grown up around the subway extension bring a different problem: not enough square footage rather than too much. We've done both kinds of work here, sometimes in the same month.

We work in Richmond Hill from our Toronto base, up the 404 or Yonge Street depending on the day — close enough that site visits and trade coordination run the same way they would for a project across the road from the studio.

Questions, answered

Do you have a studio in Richmond Hill?

No — Toronto is home base; we come up the 404 or Yonge Street for site visits, trade coordination, and installs across York Region.

Can you design a formal living and dining room that actually gets used?

Yes — it's one of the most common requests we get in Richmond Hill's estate homes. Usually the fix is scale and lighting, not a full renovation: furniture sized for the room, a rug that anchors it, and layered lighting instead of one centre fixture.

Do you take on smaller homes near Mill Pond, or only estate builds?

Both. A well-planned bungalow takes just as much work as a large estate home — every room has to earn its place.

Do you work in Bayview Hill and Oak Ridges specifically?

Yes — along with Mill Pond and the rest of the city, those two areas are where most of our Richmond Hill calls come from.
