The main floor centers around a large open kitchen and family room. Anchoring it all is a 12-foot Taj Mahal quartz island, sourced specifically to avoid seams. "It’s a small decision that carries big impact,” says Threatful. “It speaks to our belief that you can express luxury through one well-chosen moment, rather than layering on excess."

Around this focal point, durable hardwood floors, considered sightlines, and multifunctional cabinetry reflect LUSH’s signature approach: subtle, tailored, and lasting.

The home also includes a guest-ready main floor suite, a dedicated office with architectural mouldings, and a dining room featuring custom millwork and wallpaper that balances sophistication with warmth. “These spaces feel complete, not staged,” says Threatful. “They’re designed to support connection.”

Upstairs, the second level offers a peaceful contrast to the active main floor. The primary suite includes a serene ensuite with added storage and elevated finishes, a walk-in closet, and proximity to an upstairs laundry room, which is an increasingly essential feature for modern families.

Children’s rooms were designed with flexibility and growth in mind, each one equipped with thoughtful walk-in closets and smart zones for study or relaxation.

What distinguishes the West Hillhurst renovation project is its polished practicality. LUSH preserved and adapted existing architectural elements to keep the design grounded, opting to reimagine rather than replace. The original fireplace was retained, modernized, and reframed to become a meaningful feature, reducing waste and reinforcing the firm’s commitment to sustainability. Even with a defined footprint, the home flows intuitively. The natural and layered lighting plays a pivotal role in how each room adapts from task to rest.
