HEM Brings Contemporary Design to 385 Lakewood Drive<\/h2>\n

Hudson Projects built HEM’s 5-storey lowrise with both quality and character in mind. The construction combines efficient woodframe with concrete homes on the north-facing 2nd and 3rd floors \u2014 a structural choice that delivers outstanding sound separation and durability at an accessible price point. Interior designer Jamie Deck from Shift curates each space around modern utilitarian principles, balancing clean aesthetics with real-world functionality.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows maximize natural light throughout every home. Select penthouses add private rooftop patios with panoramic views. Concrete feature walls in select units introduce industrial character while providing excellent acoustic performance. Additionally, the mixed-use ground floor brings retail energy directly to residents’ doorstep.<\/p>\n

Fulgor Milano Kitchens and Energy-Efficient Features<\/h2>\n

Every home at HEM arrives equipped with Italian Fulgor Milano appliances \u2014 a premium touch that elevates everyday cooking.
