paperweave house, maple ontario

A Collector’s Retreat — this home is a haven for the discerning book collector, featuring intimate rooms that branch off a central spine-like corridor. A bespoke ombré runner stretches the length of the hallway, guiding visitors toward a striking cast-concrete sink set atop sculptural oak legs, finished in a sleek high-gloss lacquer. A series of columns and decorative wall sconces establish a graceful rhythm along the corridor, evoking a sense of quiet grandeur.

At the heart of the home, an organically shaped kitchen island anchors a spacious and thoughtfully designed culinary area. It is surrounded by oak and painted cabinetry, each adorned with custom hardware and paired with a shimmering metallic Japanese mosaic backsplash - details that lend sophistication and artistry. Tucked just beyond the kitchen, a compact pantry dazzles with square gold mosaic tiles that envelop the space in a soft, luxurious glow.

Opposite the kitchen, the living room showcases rich tones and bespoke furnishings, including custom tables and an art-display television set within a tailored shelving unit supported by handcrafted brass details. Adjacent to this space, a cozy library offers a sanctuary for reading and reflection, layered in deep blues - from the custom spiral-patterned area rug to plush velvet armchairs. Through a wooden portal, a wet bar emerges, creating the ideal setting for an evening gin martini.

Toward the rear of the home, an additional corridor is lined with custom shelving and adorned with wallpaper that subtly echoes the natural environment of the ravine’s treeline in an abstract, artistic interpretation.
