Lovingly named the Pickering Project because that’s the name of the street the house is on this beautiful Ontario home was created to showcase how someone doesn't need a ton of square footage to create a breathtaking home that still is budget conscious. Designed by award-winning Canadian designer Karen Sealy, this renovation has pulled out all the stops—from design to smart home technology to product functionality—to create a space that is both family friendly and phenomenal. With a complete Control4 smart home system in the home, this space is as functional as it is beautiful.
