Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows have been used to add an abundance of natural light, while a fireplace with a stone surround and the use of wood, adds a sense of warmth to the living room.

Between the living room and the kitchen is the dining area, that’s been defined by the use of a colored rug.

In the kitchen, there are two islands and walls of wood cabinets, creating plenty of counterspace and storage.
