The Rockwood project is a one-of-a-kind custom home that exudes antique character through a warm, modern lens. Designed in collaboration with homeowners who envisioned a space where timeless pieces meet refined architectural details, this bungalow-style home is a seamless blend of character, craftsmanship, and contemporary design.
From the richly textured materials to the heirloom-style details, every inch of the Rockwood project was created to feel lived-in, storied, and deeply welcoming.
The Floor Plan
The Rockwood’s layout is a masterclass in spatial harmony. As you step through the front entry—wrapped in pine tongue-and-groove panelling and anchored with deep-stained timber beams—you’re welcomed into a home that feels grounded in natural texture and thoughtful design.
The open-concept core of the home is built for connection, centred around the kitchen, dining, and living areas. In contrast, the private zones—bedrooms and office—are tucked quietly down the hall, ensuring a sense of calm and retreat. This zoned approach balances social spaces and private ones, creating an intuitive and peaceful flow.
The Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen sets the tone for the Rockwood’s entire aesthetic. Custom-stained hickory cabinetry evokes a sense of rustic elegance, providing a rich, grounded base for the space. Matte black hardware adds contrast with a subtle modern nod, while textured glass upper cabinets soften the look with light and transparency.
Quartz countertops offer durable beauty and a seamless workspace for everyday use. Refurbished reeded-glass pendant lights hang above the island and sink, casting a soft glow that reflects the vintage design concept. One of the standout moments? A large window above the sink frames a red antique truck flower bed parked on the property—an unexpected, heartfelt feature that ties the home to its setting and story.
The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area, offering clear sightlines and a natural connection to the rest of the living space. Together, they support everything from everyday living to effortless entertaining.
The Living Room
The focal point, a striking light rockface stone fireplace, combines rustic character with a contemporary electric fireplace. Custom hickory built-ins flank each side, with floating shelves lit from above, ideal for showcasing meaningful heirlooms and personal décor.
The vaulted ceiling, finished in pine tongue-and-groove and intersected by rich timber beams, elevates the space. Expansive windows, topped with transoms, frame views of the surrounding trees and flood the room with natural light. The result is a space that feels open, inviting, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
The Sunroom
A relaxing retreat, the sunroom celebrates the quiet beauty of its natural setting. Wall-to-ceiling pine tongue-and-groove detailing enhances the warmth of the space, while large windows maximize exposure to the outdoors.
The matte-finish slate tile floor contrasts beautifully with the rich wood tones, grounding the room in a modern, earthy palette. A feature electric fireplace finished in matching pine tongue-and-groove panelling adds a sense of coziness, making the sunroom an all-season haven.
The Antique Bath
The main bathroom is a love letter to restored craftsmanship. A classic black-and-white clawfoot tub sits center stage under a large window flanked by two sconces, creating a luxurious focal point. An antique dresser-turned-vanity—complete with a sculpted quartz countertop and soft scalloped edge—marries nostalgia with modern materials. This space is elegant and unmistakably unique to the home’s design concept.
Interior Elevations
Every element in the Rockwood project feels intentional. From reclaimed fixtures and vintage lighting to custom-built hickory cabinetry and carefully selected finishes, the home is designed to feel both timeless and new. Natural light floods every space, highlighting textures and deepening the sense of warmth throughout.
