DAPHNE WILLIAMS

BIO
Daphne Williams, a family physician in Toronto and busy mom of three teenagers looked to AyA kitchens for her kitchen renovation. The house, in a great uptown neighbourhood, went through a major transformation, including a two storey addition onto the back of the house as well as a new third floor. The family moved out of their home to undergo the renovation which took several months to complete as it was completely gutted and redesigned. A large and functional kitchen was planned for the new expanded space, providing an ample island for the family to enjoy, a pantry area with generous storage and a hutch that cleverly conceals a feeding nook for the family’s beloved dog. Along with the kitchen, AyA also provided clever cabinet solutions for the family’s three bathrooms.

Designer: Sandra Mendes

The spacious and open layout allowed for several "zones" within the kitchen; pantry and desk area, hutch area and cooking/ prep/ clean-up area including a sizable island with seating - surely enough room for a family with three kids to use comfortably. The large central island is the true core of this kitchen serving several duties along with ample space for a quick bite or a large spread for entertaining - all the while looking fabulous with a gleaming quartz countertop. The contemporary pairing of shaker door in a light Newport Glazed Latte with a dark rich Napa Clove Maple keeps things interesting, modern and fresh.
