CANADIAN HOME TRENDS
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THE
INSPIRATION WAS FOR YOUR
DESIGN?
GENEVIEVE GHALEB My goal with
this design was to create a space tailored
to the needs of today's busy, modern
gentleman. The space needed to offer
intentional luxury and contemporary
design. Inspired by Miami’s beaches and
its contemporary architectural scene, this
space is simple and quiet without being
boring.
CHT WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE
PIECE IN THE ROOM?
GG The Lyndon Freestanding Soaking
Tub is by far my favorite tub on the
market right now. Contemporary design
can be very linear and unobtrusive.
I love that this tub adds contrast by
introducing soft curves; it’s very sexy.
Timeless, ageless pieces are important
for my work. This tub works well with
the contemporary designs of today yet
is flexible enough for historic rooms
influenced by yesterday.
CHT WHAT UNEXPECTED LUXURIES
HAVE YOU INCLUDED IN THIS
SPACE?
GG This space is all about facilitating a
busy gentleman’s morning and evening
routine. I wanted to add details that
would really allow for a personal
experience. I felt that a busy man would
really benefit from having a shaving
station in the shower, a concrete, no fuss
custom vanity (for two!) and a hidden
espresso machine and wine fridge. These
make for all the details a modern man
needs in one place, when getting ready
or unwinding!
