These homeowners came to me with a nearly impossible request. They wanted to turn their traditional Tudor-style home into a contemporary open-concept space while maintaining the basic infrastructure. While we did end up having to adjust the roof-line we created a mullet-style renovation. Though we did not take the redesign to the extreme Mullet style currently popular throughout London, with the traditional “serious” front of the house yielding to a “party in the back” ultra-modern contemporary rear addition, we did remove the walls on the main floor, opening the space up entirely. The result is a contemporary family-friendly home perfect for constant entertaining and day-to-day living with three teenagers and two dogs.

Design is often about creating balance for the eye. The client’s existing kitchen was the jumping-off point for this project, inspiring us to layer shades of white, accentuated with blues from the surrounding landscape and anchoring the space with larger furniture pieces in warm wood toned in to the wood of the island.

When this client wanted an update to their North Vancouver condo it was immediately obvious that this renovation needed to be subtle and transitional, taking it’s design direction from the spectacular 360 degree panoramic view. Mountains, water, city, this stunning location boasts views of it all. We removed walls, selected neutral tones with subtle accents of green-ish gray and incorporated hardwood throughout. Interest is created through the combination of the natural textures of wood & stone juxtaposed with glass, leather & steel, all providing a neutral backdrop to the sensational view which is equally spectacular both day & night.

This master ensuite is located in a mid-century modern family home. The client’s needed to update their master bath and wanted to introduce a touch of glamour to the space while still remaining true to the character of the home. Surrounded by several large trees, the house tended to feel somewhat dark on rainy days which are quite frequent in Vancouver. A floating vanity, layered neutral tones and textural elements all combine to increase the sense of space and light.
