Across from the main entrance, a striking piece of art sets the tone. The pair saw a similar photograph by Jason Eng on a trip to Calgary and commissioned a custom version to fit their space, joining a contemporary console and two gold-toned Platner chairs.

In the spacious living room, the panoramic, west-facing views take center stage, while the room’s symmetrical furniture arrangement is ideal for conversation. It might be a formal setting, but it’s far from stuffy. The large marble table doubles as a games table during parties.

Though the pair admits that pizza is as far as their culinary expertise extends, they still wanted a kitchen where they could entertain in style. The dramatic black Zebrano countertop — inspired by the one at Kelly Wearstler’s Melrose Avenue shop — showcases the 12-foot-long island, while ample storage is cleverly hidden behind touch-latch doors. “With such a large open-concept space and a relatively small run of cabinetry and backsplash, we needed something with wow factor — the countertop was it,” says Trevor.

The condo had been designed with a narrow desk nook, which didn’t really make sense for Curtis and Trevor. They converted it to a bar and display area, with dark glossy cabinets, a mirrored backsplash and a wine fridge.

The duo wanted to do something special in the guest bathroom, so they had three styles of marble tiles cut and installed in a custom pattern as a feature wall. “With a full shower, we need it to be durable and still have great impact,” says Trevor.

Though Trevor and Curtis wanted to keep the principal bedroom serene, they couldn’t resist a few graphic textiles. “We still needed a punch — we love mixing patterns!” says Trevor. A custom diamond-coffered ceiling adds another textural dimension.

Though drapes are an unusual choice for a bathroom, the designers wanted to soften the hard edges of the space. Marble-look porcelain tiles on the floor and walls are luxe but low-maintenance. This room is a favorite end-of-day retreat, says Curtis. “I like a long soak in the tub catching up on my favorite TV shows — it’s like a spa day every day!”

The pair chose a dark, moody wallpaper by Kelly Wearstler to envelop the room and create a cozy feeling. “You have to be bold with these choices,” says Curtis. “We’re more focused on doing what we love — and we love Kelly Wearstler’s designs — than resale potential.” Glam accents such as a striking mirror and honeycomb hardware echo the tones of the wallpaper, giving the room a glitzy feel.
