The So Many Stairs Townhouse
The So Many Stairs Townhouse
LOCATION
Richmond Hill
When a professional couple with three young daughters upgraded from a downtown condo to a spacious four-story townhouse, they suddenly had room to breathe – but also a lot of empty, undefined spaces. They wanted a home that balanced function and beauty, with zones tailored to family life, relaxation, and entertaining. We were tasked with creating cohesive, livable spaces across multiple levels of the townhome, each with its own personality and purpose.
Primary Bedroom
We transformed the completely empty third-floor primary suite into a calming retreat with custom furnishings and layered window treatments.
Basement
In the basement, we wanted to carve out a grown-up escape with a lounge and small home office. The lounge area features custom art prints inspired by our client’s favourite albums and TV shows, guitar storage, and a mini fridge styled like a Fender amp.
While previously the existing oversized TV above the fireplace in the basement dominated the wall. Careful furniture placement and layered styling created balance and comfort without sacrificing those game-day views.
The small home office features a European-designed Murphy bed/bookcase combo, pictured above.
Entry & Kid Zone
In the entry we designed organized storage solutions for coats, shoes, backpacks, and dog accessories.
The second floor had an empty sitting room our clients wanted to turn into a “work and play” zone for their daughters. A built-in desk with fun pink chairs is the perfect space for for homework and arts & crafts while an easy-clean rug and comfortable seating nearby create a cozy lounge area for playtime and storytime.
Each level of the townhouse now reflects thoughtful zoning: spaces for family connection, independent work/play, and private retreats. The design marries practicality with personality—from playful pink accents to rock-and-roll-inspired basement styling—ensuring every member of the family has a place to feel at home.
