Completed Hilltop kitchen and island

Hekman project story · London, Ontario

Hilltop: one home, one clear point of view.

A whole-home transformation connecting the kitchen, bathroom, lower level, entry, stairs, flooring and finish details into a cohesive result.

Whole-home transformation

More than a collection of renovated rooms.

Hilltop is the kind of project where every choice affects the next. The bright kitchen became an anchor, while flooring, stairs, the lower level, two bathrooms and the entry were carried through with a consistent balance of warm wood, crisp white finishes and dark architectural details.

The project photography follows those decisions from one space to the next, including two bathroom renovations with very different starting points.

  • Kitchen cabinetry, island and finish details
  • Upstairs tub surround and basement shower
  • Lower-level living space
  • Flooring, stairs and transitions
  • Entry and interior finish work
  • Whole-home visual continuity

Inside Hilltop

A complete home, viewed room by room.

The kitchen leads the story, but the strength of the transformation is how the finished spaces belong together.

Two bathroom transformations

The room details make each sequence unmistakable.

A sloped ceiling and ornate mirror identify the upstairs bathroom. Downstairs, the shower position, vanity wall and compact footprint carry through from the older room to the finished glass enclosure.

Upstairs: green tile to a brighter tub surround

The original green tile was replaced with marble-look wall tile, dark linear accents and updated fixtures. The sloped ceiling remains the room’s defining architectural line.

Downstairs: a complete shower and finish renewal

The older shower, drop ceiling and blue finishes gave way to white subway tile, gray accents, a glass enclosure, a clean drywall ceiling and a new vanity.

The design idea

Consistency without making every room identical.

Hilltop uses repeated cues—light cabinetry, warm flooring, dark railings and hardware, clean sightlines—to give the home a recognizable character. Each room still solves its own practical needs, but the transitions no longer feel accidental.
