Cranberry is a minimalist home located in King City, Canada, designed by Studio Fabiana Todescan. The strategic placement of objects can markedly influence the ambiance of a space. This principle is elegantly demonstrated in this most recent project, where minor adjustments such as the repositioning of twigs, books, and artwork, converge to create a harmonious environment. The designer describes achieving an optimal balance where each element complements the others, enhancing the overall aesthetic—a concept likened to a perfectly tuned composition. The inspiration behind this design approach harks back to the designer’s childhood experiences, where resourcefulness was key.
Together with their mother, they would decorate their home using eclectic items found at garage sales, crafting spaces that felt complete and inviting despite limited resources. The space is intentionally designed to offer varied experiences from different perspectives, introducing an element of surprise and a distinct sense of place within each framed view. From one vantage point, the space opens up to expansive views of the surrounding landscape and dense forestry. Conversely, another angle reveals a meticulously framed view through wooden archways, emphasizing the thoughtful curation of the space’s architectural elements. This dual perspective not only enriches the user’s experience but also showcases the designer’s skill in creating visually engaging and dynamic environments.
