Suites embody a contemporary style seamlessly blended with natural tones and green materials, creating a tranquil connection with nature. Upon entering, a thoughtfully designed privacy screen ensures the king-size bed is subtly hidden, setting a calm and intimate atmosphere.
Before and After:
The suite offers generous storage with hidden appliances, keeping the space streamlined and functional. A dedicated work table provides a comfortable spot for business needs or writing, blending practicality with design. To enhance natural light and the sense of openness, we replaced the original window with expansive floor-to-ceiling patio doors, opening onto a private deck for an immersive indoor-outdoor living experience.
The bedroom features a unique custom headboard with integrated LED lighting and wall-mounted nightstands, combining style with convenience. The headboard also incorporates additional soundproofing, ensuring a quiet and restful stay.
In the bathroom—originally without any windows—we introduced an innovative smart privacy glass. With a simple switch, it transforms from opaque to transparent, bringing in light while maintaining privacy. This modern feature, paired with clean lines and natural accents, makes the suite feel fresh, easy, and harmonious with its surroundings.
I hired Ksenia to design my two bedroom suites and hallway walk-in at my animal sanctuary called The Taiga, and I am blown away by the results. She created a space that is both warm and luxurious, with thoughtful touches throughout. One of the most talked-about features is the glass wall to the shower that turns private with the flip of a switch — everyone who sees it is amazed! Beyond her creativity, she had excellent communication and presentation, making the whole process smooth and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend her more!
