Location: Montreal, Quebec
Year: 2023
Service: Interior design and custom cabinetry — Groupe Cartier

A beautiful kitchen isn’t born from a catalogue. It’s born from careful listening, a precise design vision, and uncompromising execution. That’s exactly what Groupe Cartier brought to the Tolhurst project: pure expertise in interior design and custom cabinetry, seamlessly integrated with the client’s existing team.

Collaboration and Design: A Kitchen Reimagined for Ergonomics and Style

The client already had a general contractor, electrician, and plumber in place. Groupe Cartier stepped in where its expertise is truly irreplaceable: kitchen interior design and custom cabinetry fabrication. Working alongside the existing trades allowed for a smooth integration and a cohesive delivery — no friction, no unnecessary delays.

The primary goal was twofold: transform the kitchen’s aesthetics and make it significantly more ergonomic. Every design decision was made with the real-life use of the space in mind — circulation flow, work zones, and the daily comfort of the home’s occupants.

Custom Miralis Laminate Cabinetry — Precision, Durability and Contemporary Elegance

The cabinetry was custom fabricated and installed using Miralis laminate products — an industry benchmark for finish quality, manufacturing precision, and material durability. Laminate offers a clean surface that is resistant to impact and moisture, ideal for a kitchen that is both active and beautifully designed.

Every module was engineered to maximize storage, optimize workflow ergonomics, and create a cohesive, refined visual line throughout the entire space.

Cosentino Silestone and Legno Venezia Laminate Countertops — A Bold Marriage of Textures

The countertop selection is at the heart of this kitchen’s visual identity. Silestone by Cosentino quartz in the Toscana Cream shade brings warmth, softness, and elegance to the space — a timeless colour that works beautifully across both contemporary and transitional design styles.

In elegant contrast, the Legno Venezia / Sabbia wood-effect laminate surfaces introduce an organic, warm texture that creates remarkable visual depth. This pairing of quartz precision and simulated wood warmth is a strong design signature — modern, yet deeply human.

Custom Window Treatments by Store Urbain — The Detail That Completes the Vision

Great design projects are defined by their finishing touches. The kitchen’s custom window treatments were crafted by Store Urbain, providing the final element that ties every component of the space into a perfectly cohesive visual whole. A detail that makes all the difference between a beautiful kitchen and a truly designed one.
