Design: Touchstone Interiors

Set on the 44th floor with sweeping city views, this Ottawa condo was designed as a part-time home for a couple who needed both calm and connection in their space. The interior design brought in depth, warmth, and texture to soften the feel of a new build - and my goal was to capture that transformation through light, detail, and flow.

Photographing this project meant navigating strong natural light and finding the balance between bright, open views and the richer, moodier elements throughout. From the sculptural lighting in the bedroom to the luxury of the bathroom finishes, I focused on how each space shifted throughout the day- inviting, layered, and lived-in.
