Seasons on Little Lake is a lifestyle community just over an hour north of Toronto. With the sales presentation centre looking to target a younger demographic, our challenge was to fuse the convenience of urban condo living with the desire to escape the frantic pace of city living.
The presentation centre's space is visually zoned with a welcome desk, interiors vignettes, a site map and floor plans and bistro tables to facilitate sales conversations. A custom designed screen made from canoe paddles creates an immediate impact on arrival while still allowing plenty of natural light to fill the space.
A colour palette of warm neutrals feels calming, lending a softer, more traditional feel as a counterpoint to the modern look and feel of the kitchen. Zingy, citrus accessories in the kitchen create a vibrant feel. White lowers and grey uppers in the kitchen read as clean and fresh, a departure from the expected “country cottage” look. Use of natural textures including wood, leather, linen, whicker, and cowhide help create a country feel in a sophisticated way. Allocating budget to stylish but durable finishes helped to reassure buyers that interior maintenance will be minimal.
