Hoggs Hollow by Kim Lambert Design
Set on a windy river and nestled deep in one of Toronto’s prestigious neighborhoods, this home invites a dialogue between moody palettes, thoughtfully curated pieces, and unique finishes within a considered white classic envelope. A contemporary thread of details runs throughout.
Materials were selected to create a refined-rustic atmosphere using layers of smoked antique mirror, black-stained oak, hot-rolled steel, Venetian plaster, concrete-inspired wall-covering, along with leathered classic Calacatta stone. To ground the spaces, the original walnut floors were bleached and stained in a matte driftwood palette.
Pieces were selected and layered in with elements of playfulness and intrigue in mindset against a continuum of tailored millwork where functional needs are met.
Stone tile runs through the entry and mudroom providing a pause between rooms. Spaces flow openly allowing this busy family of six to feel connected and for the kids and their friends to run free. Three Carousel Pendants from Lee Broom add a lively rhythm to this passage.
The kitchen plays dark, rustic finishes of black oak and hot-rolled steel off a monolith of Calacutta stone tapered on the seating side to feature more of it’s stunning veins. The Cloud Pendant from Apparatus Studio adds a layer of play over the relaxed centre lounge where a coffee can be enjoyed during a pause. Meanwhile, banquette seating lining the window allows family and friends to tuck in over a casual meal with a view.
The family room mirrors the kitchen in materials and the symmetry of the Montauk Sofas creates a sense of order while inviting the whole family to gather together.
The elegant Tube Chandelier by Michael Anastassiades hangs quietly in a corner before a wall of black-stained oak shelving.
The formal living room evokes a sense of calm while a bar sits quietly along one wall, awaiting the next gathering.
The intimate formal dining room sits in the centre of the home under a dark palette lined with a rustic concrete-inspired wall covering – making for an unexpected backdrop. The staggered chains of the Kelly Chandelier by Gabriel Scott hang gracefully above the large round table for 10, while dusty rose velvet chairs soften the dialogue with a bit of pretty.
