Project Rockcliffe Park Century Home
A century-old house brought up to date without denying its character: mouldings, glazed doors and period proportions, heightened with white, deep black, oak and brass. Every room keeps its charm, with today's comfort.

The project in pictures
52 photosThe kitchen
White framed cabinets rise to the ceiling, punctuated by brass handles and a white plaster hood above a black range. The island, painted deep black, carries a white quartz counter and wood stools with organic lines. White cone pendants, a marble backsplash and the long black shelf under the hood set the rhythm.
The living room
The living room keeps its original windows, veiled with light curtains, and its fireplace, now dressed in veined black marble and topped with an arched mirror. Two white sofas face each other around a round oak coffee table, on a rug in soft tones. An oak desk, slipped against the wall, enjoys the light from the street.
The dining room and bar
The dining room brings together a dark wood table, black Windsor chairs and a chandelier with black shades, framed by linen curtains. Between kitchen and living area, an oak sideboard serves as a bar under a black-framed glass partition that lets light flow from room to room, as in a workshop.
Custom details
The vestibule is panelled in deep midnight blue, with brass hooks, a wooden bench and a basket for boots. The powder room carries this dark shade up to the ceiling, lit by a white marble console sink on brass legs, a gilded mirror and a small sconce. Two passing rooms, treated like jewel boxes.
