When Karen called upon 3rd Uncle Design to work with her in the renovation of her home, she wanted a firm that would understand her “humor, the schvung” as she writes in the August 2010: The Stylemakers Issue of Canadian House and Home featuring Karen and Thomas’ home. They did not want a home which is “all Victorian or entirely contemporary”. Having known of 3rd Uncle’s diverse work which includes the Drake Hotel, she was convinced that we aligned with her concept of “juxtaposition” which she describes as an “...artful play of old and new, or cool and warm, shiny and matte, primitive and sophisticated”.
As she says about the addition, “the new open kitchen-family room is of course, a source of delight”, we say Karen and Thomas’s philosophy of “remaining open to new possibilities and discoveries” during the process was a source of delight for 3rd Uncle.
In the same issue see another client of 3rd Uncle’s, Joseph Mimran and wife Kimberly Newport-Mimran. Kimberly Newport is the designer of Pink Tartan, whose new Toronto showroom was just completed by 3rd Uncle.
