LIVINGMAG.CA“I look at what I do as art. I am always collecting new pieces, pottery, paintings and furniture to store away
to use for a future project. With Ocean Park, the color palette I chose really plays off of the natural beauty of this
waterfront property; neutral tones, layered textures and organic shapes. Beyond the living room is an expansive deck, overlooking uninterrupted
ocean. I tried to make it feel like one space, bringing a lot of the natural elements inside. The coffee table, made of resin over strips
of rattan, changes shape as you move around it. I imagined using the living room as an indoor/outdoor space, perfect for lounging and entertaining.
One of my favorite pieces is the étagère I designed and had made by Stefanie Dueck and Kate Duncan. It is made of hand-brushed stainless steel
with feet and finials of solid hammered steel in contrasting black. The shelves are made of ebonized oak. The bamboo silk rug lends harmony to
the room. I curate these pieces by using an amazing network of local makers and artisans. My current project is personal; my partner and I are
refurbishing a 29-room lakeside property in Ontario. It is a great adventure! ” — as told to Bianca Solterbeckliving | MY FAvourite rooMNATURAL BEAUTY SHINES THROUGH
