Junction house by Downey Design
Revelateur is proud to announce the completion of our second project with Downey Design, a detached, single-family house renovation in the Junction.
Second floor hallway leading to staircase
This project, although technically a renovation of an existing house, ended up being a complete gut of the original house and rebuilt practically from the ground up.

The main objective of the clients was to maximize the spaces with a limited budget, resulting in an increased focus on the quality of the spaces and natural light over materials and finishes.

The finished product is a simple, effective and elegant design solution to the limited budget.

We would like to thank downey design and the gracious owners for letting us come in and shoot their house.
Exterior shots to come soon...
Little Portugal fixer-upper
Main entrance, with staircase leading up to loft space.
We recently shot a small industrial building in Little Portugal. It used to be a small factory that was transformed into a live-work space by Downey Design's Kevin Downey.
Main space, part office, part living room.
The project is interesting in the way only the outer shell of the building was preserved in order to keep the original form, yet, allow for dramatic open spaces on the inside.
Main space from the top of the stairs.
The building is home to Arts and Labour design studio. This live-work space is stunning through its simplicity and brightness, as there isn't a time of the days when the space is not filled with natural light.

Natural light is a key component of the design and every space ends up being very bright and pleasant to experience. Sometimes it is all that's needed to make an otherwise plain space exceptionally cheerful. Add to the mix an exceptional art and design furniture collection and you get a unique space reflecting the personality of its owner.

We would like to thank Arts and Labour for letting us shoot the space and publish it.
Yorkville residential project (upcoming shoot)
We are happy to announce that we have picked up a few clients since our launch back in February, our first contract being the photography of a high-end private residence in Yorkville, commissioned by Audax Architecture. The following images are from the scouting shoot. Stay tuned for the final images to come in the next couple of months.
Kitchen / Dining area
This residence is a renovation of a 70's era detached house. Audax redesigned all the interiors as well as renovated the exterior. The result is a house that feels decidedly contemporary and one would be hard-pressed to find evidence of the 70's original design left to see.
Front facade
We are extremely excited to shoot this project and cannot wait to share the finished photography with you.

Designholmen | Parkdale, Toronto
We recently completed a shoot for Designholmen, showcasing the Parkdale-based design studio and home of Carolina Soderholm. Carolina is the owner and creative director of the studio.
Kitchen details
The kitchen was designed by Downey Design, a local firm specializing in residential and commercial design-build.
Dining room
We captured the kitchen, dining room and living room and will be soon going back to shoot rest of the project. Carolina's Swedish background shows through the simplicity and elegance with which the project was designed. Simple lines, peaceful colors, warms textures and the occasional splash of color make this project elegant and appealing to the eye. Let's not forget user-friendliness as this kitchen was designed primarily with the users in mind and this thoughtful design sensitivity show's through the myriad of little functional details, in keeping with Northern European design tradition.
We are looking forward to return for the remainder of the shoot and showcase the other parts of the project.
