Toronto

The brief for this Canadian townhouse was “cozy, minimalist, cool and warm”. The designer was Montana Labelle of Montana Labelle Design & Lifestyle, the client: her brother. She gutted and refashioned the home to her sibling’s tastes, which are inspired by his work at Apple. The strong design ethos made Gaggenau the obvious choice. “They don’t even look like appliances. They are so seamless, functional and stylish.” Lucas muses.

“Gaggenau is one of my favorite appliance brands. Their cooktop and wall ovens are so easily integrated. They don’t feel like this big clunky piece of machinery, and they work with the rest of the kitchen in a very seamless way.”

Adding muted warmth, pared-back tones and light was an important element in the design of the Toronto townhouse.

While Lucas and his partner Tyler “don’t cook every night” both they and Montana love how the brand marries function and form.
