The Best of Canada (Residential) vol. 3

Henrietta Southam Design Make The Shortlist

This city-based home was designed to assuage, comfort and calm, and with the proper adjustments, it became an intensely private and personal meditative space.
Existing amongst several other condominiums was a challenge welcomed by Henrietta Southam Design. As referenced by its namesake, the focus for Cloud Nine was to highlight it’s elevated and light filled location. To do so, the residence brings in blues and silvers which reflect the view of it’s high-rise position.

Where does your design inspiration come from?
I credit Spirit for the inspiration – the proper concept or idea always comes. It may take longer at times but there is never a doubt that it is the right way to go when it does come. Inspiration comes in so many forms… a team member may come with a great image, or someone walking with a great outfit can trigger something but the number one for me is getting an opportunity to set foot into old European buildings that have grand interior spaces. There is almost always a detail take away that I am just dying to evolve into something new.
