Before —> After
One was drawn to the clean, wintery feel of a Scandinavian chalet. The other loved the sun-washed warmth of southern Spain and France.
In Scandi Hacienda, part of our Spring Refresh feature, a Collingwood couple transforms their Lockhart Subdivision home into a thoughtful blend of both—Mediterranean hacienda meets Scandinavian chalet.
With help from local architect Andrew Slade and Van Allan Design Centre, the renovation preserved the home’s architectural integrity, including its timeless staircase, while introducing updated flooring, built-in cabinetry, panelled appliances, custom millwork and beautifully considered details throughout.
As the homeowner noted, much of a renovation is made up of the things you don’t see—electrical, plumbing, drywall, demolition and all the expert work behind the walls that brings the final vision to life.
