Keystone

A Gathering Space for Generations

Standing stoically  in the historic Oak Bay community, Keystone captures an updated take on traditional living. Playing with scale, symmetry and contemporary silhouettes, we created a home that boldly redefines a daring take on timelessness. 

Home to a family that warmly welcomes all who enter, Keystone was designed to optimize an enriched culinary experience and encourage social connection. At the heart of the home, the Kitchen features state of the art appliances, floor to ceiling White Oak millwork, and a concealed appliance garage with entertainment at the forefront. 

Allowing the homeowners to entertain with ease, we prioritized flow and thoughtfully oriented all living areas to capture the dappled light from the trees beyond, optimizing an ultimate indoor-outdoor living experience. Anchoring the Kitchen with a moody wet bar detailed in Tartufo stone and concealed ambient lighting, the main floor seamlessly transitions from day to night. 

Flanking the island with oversized Charleston pendants, we prioritized impact through minimalism. Contrasting warm seaside palettes with dynamic finishes designed to age in place, we were able to create continuity throughout, integrating contemporary coffers and softened archways for heightened architectural interest. 

A gathering space for generations to come, Keystone effortlessly captures the luxuriousness of the surrounding neighbourhood in a home designed to last a lifetime.
