Custom Kitchen Design and Installation
The heart of this renovation is a fully custom kitchen designed for both function and aesthetics. Odin Agnuk installed new cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures, creating a streamlined workspace that suits modern cooking and entertaining. The kitchen integrates seamlessly with the home's open layout, connecting to the living and dining areas for an airy, social floor plan. Quality materials and precise installation ensure this kitchen delivers on both style and durability.
Steel Frame Staircase
The custom steel frame staircase is the defining architectural feature of this renovation. Industrial in character yet refined in execution, the open steel construction creates visual lightness while serving as a bold design statement. The staircase connects the home's levels while doubling as a sculptural element that draws the eye and anchors the interior aesthetic. Odin Agnuk fabricated and installed this feature to exacting standards, balancing structural integrity with clean, modern lines.
Concrete Architectural Feature Wall
A concrete feature wall adds texture, weight, and industrial character to the interior. This architectural element contrasts with the home's lighter finishes, creating visual interest and grounding the open floor plan. Concrete walls are a hallmark of contemporary design—durable, low-maintenance, and visually striking. Odin Agnuk executed this feature with the precision required to achieve a clean, consistent finish.
Modern Bay Window
A new modern bay window transforms the front of the home, dramatically increasing natural light while adding architectural interest inside and out. The expanded glazing opens up the interior, connects the living space to the streetscape, and updates the home's curb appeal. Bay windows are a sought-after feature in Toronto row houses, and this installation demonstrates how a well-designed window can reshape a room.
Bathroom and Powder Room
The renovation includes a fully updated bathroom and a new powder room, both finished with contemporary fixtures and quality tile work. These spaces balance clean design with practical function, offering modern amenities that complement the home's updated aesthetic. Odin Agnuk handled all plumbing, tile installation, and fixture work to deliver bathrooms that meet today's standards for comfort and style.
