Kim Lambert

Principal & Creative Director

Kim is passionate about atmosphere and endlessly curious about the story a space can tell.

Her career began more than twenty years ago in the world of global luxury and boutique hospitality. Today, her Toronto studio brings that sensibility to interiors that are refined yet soulful, composed but never overly considered. Spaces with presence, character and a point of view.

I’m drawn to the interplay of material, texture, light and volume — their innate character, and the connection they create with the people who live among them.

We use ornament sparingly. Enough to intrigue. Never enough to interrupt. Every piece should earn its place, and have the room to sing.

A curated composition is everything.

About Our Team

A close-knit studio

We are an intimate studio of designers who share an elevated eye and an instinct for materials, light and quiet detail.

We thrive on ideas, creative dialogue and the exchange that happens when talented people come together. Curiosity is central to our process — it keeps us looking, questioning and, often, leads us somewhere unexpected. We love what we do, and care deeply about how it is made.

Every home begins with listening: an unhurried, honest conversation about how you live, what you love, and how you want to feel when you close the door behind you.

From first concepts through to the final details on site, we shape each phase together. The home you imagined is the one you arrive in: distinctly yours, and a place to finally exhale.

Our Approach

Concept to realization

It all starts with a dialogue that sets expectations between client and designer, with the end goal of establishing a design process tailored to the project. Our process is thoughtful, collaborative, transparent and thorough.

A detailed scope of work outlines the various phases: we determine a wish list of items, set a program in place, explore concepts, and then refine a selection of ideas into well-developed design.

Project management and on-site monitoring ensure that even smallest details are given the utmost attention.
