House of Ali

Luxury designer Ali Budd and her team take on the task of designing their first epic lake house – a 6,000-square-foot new build, perched on the cliffside of a private island, and nestled in the Canadian wilderness, far north of the city. Ali combines natural materials from the surrounding area with her signature luxury aesthetic to create the perfect marriage of rustic and modern style in this summer vacation home. The project gets off to a strong start, but working with new builders under tight deadlines means relationships are tested, and tensions run even higher when the client asks to move in early. It's all aboard and all hands on deck as Ali enlists the help of her husband Martin to help barge materials across the lake and uphill to get this dream home finished on time.

Luxury designer Ali Budd and her team are designing a chic, custom family home in the heart of the city. This 5,600-square-foot, four-bedroom new build comes with a combination of classic yet daring spaces, including a contemporary take on an old Hollywood-inspired home theatre, a ‘glam’ room and a queen-size bunk room with private en-suite. But the timeline on this custom project is one of the tightest that the design firm has ever faced. It all seems to be going to plan until a custom brass range hood begins to bubble with problems in the middle of the furniture install. On top of it all, Ali and the team need to call in a favour to help make sure this showstopper is styled to perfection and the clients get the home of their dreams.

Ali gets personal in her latest design undertaking when one of her good friends engages the firm to renovate their home; while Ali is initially given creative freedom by the client, a special design feature ruffles feathers and is on the ropes.

Luxury designer Ali Budd gets a blast from the past when returning clients commission her to complete the final phase of a design project she started ten years ago, but have they saved the toughest job for last; adding an addition to the home and a whole main-floor renovation? This 5,000-square-foot, 5-bedroom family home is being given a modern upgrade with the addition of a faux shagreen-filled mudroom, whimsical walls for the kids’ bedrooms, and a luxurious kitchen with an outrageous, curved dining table and a massive island complete with a pink marble backsplash. But not everyone is excited for the design plans, as Ali has to convince the millworker to complete her vision. Ali enjoys a rare treat, getting to work on the same house as her husband Martin, and, as they join forces, they reflect on the past, present, and future of their relationship and businesses.

Ali Budd and her team are hired to infuse a century-old farmhouse with a contemporary edge. Ali steps outside of her comfort zone to renovate this 3,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, four bathroom country house in which the rooms are small, but the design task is massive. The homeowners have requested that Ali strikes a balance between old and new, to combine the original charm of the home with stunning modern elements like stunning tile, onyx, and marble slabs throughout. But renovating an old home can result in one surprise after another and, with construction deadlines getting pushed to their limits, Ali and her team attempt to do their full, intricate install on top of the trades who have fallen off-schedule – a dangerous combination as the homeowner move-in fast approaches.

Luxury Designer Ali Budd hits the coast when she’s commissioned to design the most exquisite beach house on the Jersey Shore. But with a client that’s also acting as the general contractor on this project, Ali and her team find their hands full with unfamiliar trades and challenging cross-border logistics. This four-level, 6,600-square-foot seaside palace is meticulously constructed with stunning design features at every turn, and is complete with six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a gym and rooftop terrace. With every design detail worked out and the build near completion, big problems plague install day. A furniture mis-measure means Ali must borrow a forklift to get the furniture into the top floor of the home. Will she be able to pull off this design miracle in time for the homeowners to move in?
