Built-In Elegance with Carbon Gray and Oak Veneer

The oak veneer vanity adds warmth, while the Black Pine laminate in the study brings texture and depth. The built-ins offer smart storage, like hidden cabinets and motion-sensing lights, keeping the home both stylish and practical. Each element is designed to fit the space perfectly and make everyday life easier.

Space-Saving Closet with Integrated Features

The primary closet at Garner Ave uses every inch of space wisely. It includes a mini bar, washer-dryer, and plenty of storage. The closet’s textured oak laminate gives it a modern feel. Innovative design made it possible to take two feet from the closet and give more space to the adjoining room. Motion-sensing lights and clever cabinets make the closet both functional and easy to use, keeping everything neat and within reach.
