Custom Residence in Toronto
A bespoke hardware project designed to bring character, individuality, and refinement to a contemporary Toronto residence.
The homeowner sought distinctive hardware solutions that would elevate both the doors and cabinetry throughout the home while complementing its clean architectural aesthetic. While the selected lever design aligned with the desired visual direction, the standard product offering could not accommodate the project's functional requirements or design specifications.
Artisans Hardware collaborated closely with its manufacturing partners to develop a tailored solution, transforming a premium product into a fully customized hardware package that seamlessly balanced design intent, performance, and craftsmanship.
Challenge
The selected lever was only available in stainless steel with a standard backplate, which did not accommodate the unique door conditions or the specialized hardware required for the residence.
Solution
Custom full-height backplates were created.
- Custom finish was created to be used on all hardware. (not just door hardware)
- A unique lock mechanism was sourced to accommodate unique door conditions.
Team
- Interior design team
- Powder coat chemist
- CNC shop to fabricate custom escutcheon plates
Process
- Met with the project team to review the architectural vision, selected lever design, and unique door conditions throughout the residence.
- Developed custom full-height backplates to accommodate the selected levers and integrate with the required locking hardware.
- Reviewed each opening individually, as door conditions and functional requirements varied throughout the residence.
- Sourced a specialized locking mechanism that satisfied both the design requirements and functional needs of the project.
- Coordinated the custom hardware components and final specifications to create a cohesive solution throughout the residence.
