design et al are delighted to announce that Elizabeth Metcalfe Interiors & Design have been shortlisted for Living Space – Global Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2017
A 15,000 sq.ft. family home in an upscale residential neighbourhood in Toronto received full-scope interior design of the main floor. The international clients, from China, had purchased this lovely secondary residence in a prominent neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario and were in desperate need of full interior furnishings throughout their new home. The clients wanted to start from a clean slate and gave Elizabeth Metcalfe full creative freedom, as they were still spending much of their time back home in China. The clients wanted to use the main floor to entertain clients on a regular basis but also wanted to make a comfortable home for their young family during the school year months.
