South-East Oakville · Whole House Design & Build · 2023

Duncan is a whole-house design and build in South-East Oakville — Studio Kimi took it from concept through construction, all under one roof.

This was a full reimagining of the home, designed as one cohesive whole rather than a room-by-room update. The palette is light and warm — pale oak, soft white stone, and clean, quiet lines — for a home that feels bright, calm, and current.

The open kitchen anchors the main floor: a generous island, full-height cabinetry, and an uncluttered, material-led look made for everyday living and easy hosting.

The scope ran through the whole house — the kitchen and sunroom on the main floor, the primary suite with its walk-in closet and ensuite, additional bedrooms and bathrooms, and a finished lower level — each space designed to belong to the same home.

From the first layout to the final finish, one team made and managed every decision, so the whole house holds together instead of feeling pieced together room by room.

Where the home once felt dark and dated, it now feels light and current — a whole-house renovation in South-East Oakville that works as one piece, from the kitchen island to the basement.

South-East Oakville · Whole-Home Design & Build

Duncan is a whole-home design-build in South-East Oakville, taken by Studio Kimi from the first drawings through to construction. The owners wanted a calm, material-led home that felt consistent from the kitchen to the lower level — light, warm, and easy to live in.

The materials stay disciplined: pale oak and soft white stone, repeated room to room so the house reads as one piece. The main floor opens around a generous kitchen and a glass-framed sunroom. Upstairs, the primary suite pairs a stone-and-oak ensuite with a warm walk-in closet, and the secondary bedrooms and baths carry the same detailing. A bright basement living space and bathroom complete the home.

Because one team handled both the design and the build, the millwork, stone, and finishes line up across every room.
