Real rooms, in real Ontario houses

Sixteen rooms. Not one of them is a set.

These are photographs of rooms people live in, taken in the rooms themselves. There is no stock photography anywhere on this site, and no render pretending to be a photograph. Where something is a placeholder, it says so.

The gallery

Scroll, and they take colour.

Filter them if you like. With JavaScript off every room is shown, which is the correct default rather than a broken one.

The same room, both ways

Drag it. Nothing structural changed.

Same footprint, same fireplace, same window. What changed is what is on the walls, what the sofa is, and where the light lands.

The carved panel came from that client's family in India. The television moved above the fireplace, which is the only thing in the room that needed a drill.

Before: the same family room with patterned wallpaper, a television on a console and mismatched seating. After: the walls plain, the carved arched panel and family photographs hung, a navy sectional and tan leather chairs, and the television moved above the fireplace. Before After

Before the room existed

The boards and the render come first.

This is the part you receive. The rooms above are what happens after somebody carries it out.
