This transformation took a 40-year-old house from tired to inspired—turning it into a functional, bright, and contemporary retreat. In the kitchen, full-height cabinets and built-in appliances neatly tuck away small gadgets and cleaning supplies, while a hidden walk-in pantry puts everyday essentials within easy reach. A small display shelf adds a personal touch, showcasing the owner’s favourite glassware and dinnerware.

Set on a sprawling five-acre single family lot in the suburb, Polar residence is designed for a young family eager to enrich their day-to-day life—especially with limited amenities nearby. To meet a wide range of needs under one roof, the owner included a gallery, library, office, home theatre, gym as indoor amenities, and a pool and tennis court as outdoor amenities in the program, ensuring plenty of opportunities for learning, entertainment, and wellness. With an eye toward future expansion, the design makes the most of the sprawling yard and open land, creating an environment where the children can grow alongside the house.
