At this Summerhill Residence, we set out to design a backyard that functions as a true destination, almost in a world of its own.

The pool anchors a series of layered living, dining, and lounge areas conceived for connection, celebration, and quiet retreat. Every element of the landscape was guided by the home's transitional architectural language, striking a balance between refinement and ease, so the exterior feels as intentional as the interiors.

The result is a private summer oasis where design isn't just observed, it's felt.

We’re honoured to be featured in PHILIA .

Written by Truc, the interview explores the vision, process, and design philosophy behind Nivek Remas through a conversation with our co-founders, Kevin Chan and Samer Shaath.

At the heart of our practice is the belief that every space should begin with a compelling narrative. Across hospitality, residential, wellness, and retail, we create environments that are immersive, emotive, and deeply connected to the people who experience them.

Thank you to Galerie Philia for the opportunity to share the ideas and values that continue to shape our studio.

Architecture with restraint.
Atmosphere with edge.

At Oakville Residence, natural oak wraps the space in warmth while oversized shelving and monolithic forms create a sense of scale that feels almost cinematic.

Grounded, intentional, and quietly seductive in the way only timeless design can be.

Our approach to the Muscle Lab was to translate his vision into something elevated, disciplined, and purposeful.

Every element strategically in place, every angle rooted in strength.

Light, colour, and composition in constant conversation.

At Summerhill Residence, we designed an experience that feels immersive but never overworked, where each element adds just enough to keep your eye moving.
