OCATED IN THORNHILL , ON , THIS NEWLY BUILT CONDO WAS PURCHASED BY A RETIRED BANK EXECUTIVE AS A WEEKEND CITY ESCAPE OASIS . A place where she could visit with friends and play Mahjong long into the evenings . Having worked with her previously to select the finishes during the pre-construction stage , she reconnected with Designer Christine Elliott to help her decorate and furnish the condo .
Even though this space is mainly used by her , she wanted it to be practical when her daughter visited with her grandkids . This was achieved by using family-friendly fabrics in the living area and sourcing a stylish sofa that converts into a sofa bed for extra guests . Since the entire space is only 576 square feet , Christine selected pieces that would provide extra storage and functionality , like the TV console which is a bar cabinet and added another cabinet in the bathroom for toiletries and towel storage . They also turned the “ plus den ” into a dining space that could easily be converted into a game table when it ’ s her night to host Mahjong .
What Christine loves most about this project is the transcending feeling you get when you enter . From its stunning long city views through the floor-to-ceiling windows , to the soft and feminine vibe created by the selected décor and color palette , it ’ s now a stylish pied-àterre that really could be anywhere .
