We believe good design makes lives better.

It doesn't need to be anything extravagant. Little touches that add personality, function, and beauty to even the smallest or most rustic of spaces can make you feel at home just about anywhere.

These pictures show some of our favourite design details in a rustic bathroom, open-air kitchen, and outdoor area we built for a glamping AirBnB.

What does it take to remove a wall?

Over the decades, our society has changed how we want our homes to work for us. One of the biggest shifts is the desire for our kitchen, dining area, and living area to be one big, open space. Of course, this can be at odds with the traditional style found in many homes of having each of these be individual rooms. So many renovations wish lists involve removing walls to connect previously divided spaces.

So how do you remove a wall? Well, it depends, primarily on one major thing: if the wall is load-bearing or not. If it's not, it's a relatively straightforward process to demolish it and re-wire any electric running through it. If it is load-bearing, extra support needs to be added - generally as a beam - to support the structure of the home.

Swipe for the "before" image showing the wall we removed in this project.

You wind up seeing a few more photos on here of Martin's work behind the scenes than Annie's - the other founding half of Sitka Concept.

While Annie is never shy about getting her hands dirty and you'll often find her demolishing spaces, painting, and physically bringing together the final touches of a reno, a lot of her magic is created on a laptop.

She's the visionary behind the designs and creates 3D models and architectural renderings of projects before they come to life with the help of Martin's custom woodwork. She also works hard to source the perfect materials, furniture, and accessories for each remodelling project. But she'll happily admit that photos of her pouring over floorplans on her laptop aren't quite as interesting as ones from the woodworking shop!
