When Victor Ting of The Carpenter's Workshop walked into his client's top-floor condominium unit, he saw a lot of potential for design detailing. The three-bedroom apartment had lots of natural light, with a balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, and large, vertical clerestory windows above in the living area. Colour and a bit of fun liven up the home, courtesy of poufs and a floral carpet from Air, and a contemporary sofa with cushions from Xtra.

The semi-open kitchen provides easy access to the dining room, yet maintains an element of privacy between the two spaces. Wood finishes, ranging in shade from light honey to chocolate, add warmth to the minimalist decor.

3/5

Ample sunlight and open shelving prevent the grey granite-tiled kitchen from looking cold and drab.

4/5

The master bathroom echoes the semi-raw minimalism of the kitchen.

5/5

Books and soft furnishings bring colour into the neutral scheme of the master bedroom. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves reveal the homeowners' penchant for travel, culinary, manga and coffee-table books.
