Residence 142 Kenilworth is located in Toronto, Canada. This modern house combines the charm of the past century and contemporary redesign ideas. The original home was built in the 1900s. Its new owners wanted to redesign the old house with vintage brick facade into a contemporary home with bright and stylish interiors.
Lushome presents this amazing redesign and interior decorating project by architect and designer Johnson Chou that transformed the old house into this stunning, beautiful and comfortable contemporary home with an old time charming exterior.
Large windows, picture windows and huge patio doors allow lots of day light into modern interiors. Glass wall design ideas and black-n-white decorating increase the effect created with large windows and open rooms which are enhanced by pleasant views and sunlight penetrating into all corners.
