Vanderhoof – Leaside Custom Home

A State-of-the-Art Transitional Masterpiece in Leaside – The Vanderhoof Custom Home is a stunning example of innovation and craftsmanship, blending traditional and transitional design with cutting-edge functionality. Designed for a forward-thinking client who prioritized energy efficiency and impeccable construction standards, this home is not just smart—it’s alive. It adapts to its environment, optimizing heating, cooling, and resource usage through a network of hardwired sensors, making it a living home tailored for modern lifestyles.

Exterior: Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Innovation

The exterior design is a harmonious blend of beauty and functionality:

  • Green Roof: Not only visually striking but also offering superior insulating properties, concealed beneath a parapet styled to resemble a traditional hip roof.
  • Cladding: Limestone-colored exterior insulating forms, finished in stucco, provide both efficiency and timeless appeal.
  • Contrasting Accents: Dark-framed windows and aluminum details, including soffits and eavestroughs, create a sophisticated contrast that enhances the home’s contemporary edge.

Interior: Luxurious, Functional, and Thoughtfully Designed

The interior design is equally breathtaking, merging modern transitional aesthetics with practical features tailored for both entertaining and everyday living.

  • Flooring: Medium-grain wide-plank white oak runs throughout, exuding warmth and elegance.
  • Layout: A corner-lot design allowed for relocating the main entrance to the exposed façade, leading to a semi-open-concept main floor split into two primary zones:
    • One for entertaining, featuring an expansive flow for gatherings.
    • One for everyday living, offering intimate spaces for family life.
  • Central Staircase: A stacked stairwell not only creates a natural distribution of air but also acts as a visual centerpiece, anchored by a powerful three-sided fireplace that enhances airflow with its vent effect.

Kitchen: A Contemporary Showpiece

The kitchen is the heart of the home, designed for both functionality and style:

  • Cabinetry: Clean, modern lines with transitional details ensure timeless appeal.
  • Countertops and Backsplash: Luxurious materials, chosen for durability and elegance, add texture and depth.
  • Appliances: Integrated, high-efficiency appliances blend seamlessly into the design, emphasizing practicality without compromising aesthetics.

Bathrooms: Spa-Inspired Elegance

Each bathroom is thoughtfully crafted to provide a serene and luxurious experience:

  • Guest Bathrooms: Feature modern fixtures, elegant tilework, and warm lighting to create inviting spaces.
  • Master Ensuite: A true sanctuary of luxury, combining form and function:
    • Dual-Entrance Walk-In Closet: Tucked behind the feature wall in the bedroom, the closet is a private retreat that maximizes storage and accessibility.
    • Spa-Like Features: Large-format tiles, a standalone soaking tub, and custom cabinetry blend natural textures with sleek design.
    • Plumbing Fixtures: Selected for their modern lines and exceptional quality, they elevate the experience with a seamless mix of beauty and practicality.
