An underlying interest in all scales of work is how thoughtfully designed objects and spaces have the ability to inspire, engage our senses, and ultimately influence our quality of life. The experiential qualities of a space, and how things feel both physically and aesthetically, are carefully considered throughout the design stage. The result is a highly articulated design that exudes warmth and comfort while maintaining a distinctly modern sensibility. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Custom Homes - Home Additions - Green Building ### Areas Served - Vancouver ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | splyce design | | Address | 723 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6A 1R3, Canada | | Phone | (604) 765-0592 | | Website | http://www.splyce.ca/ | | Followers on Houzz | 790 | **Social profiles:** - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/splycedesign - LinkedIn — http://www.linkedin.com/pub/nigel-parish/6/65a/68 ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [splyce design](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/splyce-design-pfvwus-pf~503445580) - **Website:** http://www.splyce.ca/ - **Phone:** (604) 765-0592 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 5 awards (2015–2021), for Design. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 2 reviews** ### All 2 reviews **★★★★★ — User, July 2015** > Each of Splyce's projects are a modern marvel in its own right. With an eye for detail like no other, breaking the boundaries of convention, while remaining grounded, guided, and inspired by its own natural surroundings - that is Nigel's signature. **★★★★★ — rntim22, Aug. 2014** > Simplicity, cosmetics, functionality and, hopefully, cost effectiveness together draw the attraction. "Excellence" in one word. I just hope this design could be customized for land that slopes towards and overlooks the ocean. ## Selected projects - [Cunningham Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cunningham-renovation-pj-vj~4706207) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 12 - [Findlay Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/findlay-residence-pj-vj~375271) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 14 - Description: The Findlay Residence is located on a flat, irregular shaped site in North Vancouver. Designed for a young active family of four, the principal living spaces of the home are organized around a two storey exterior void within the main volume of the building. Planted with bamboo and glazed on either side, this cutout serves to create separation between spaces without fully disengaging them from one another. On the main floor, the bamboo garden subtly divides the kitchen/dining space from the livin… - [Shuswap Cabin](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shuswap-cabin-pj-vj~160998) - Location: Shuswap Lake, BC - Photos: 10 - [Trotman Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/trotman-renovation-pj-vj~1278247) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - Description: This project included the selective renovation, addition and landscape design of a late 1920s house in Vancouver. Tailored to the lifestyle of a young family of four, the majority of work focused at the rear, south side of the home, to improve daily function and increase connectivity to the landscape and access to the new studio and garage. Interior alterations included general updates throughout, including those to the kitchen and bathrooms. Additions to the home included a new family room adja… - [Abbott Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/abbott-renovation-pj-vj~2820) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 5 - [Russet Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/russet-residence-pj-vj~478659) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 20 - Description: This project is located in West Vancouver on a steep site with mature cedar and douglas fir to the west and an ocean view to the south. The house responds to these conditions by nestling itself into the hill while also projecting out over it to maximize views and connectivity to the landscape. Due to its proximity to the rugged and sloping creekside bank to the west, the house was subject to strict environmental and geotechnical conditions, including a required setback from the top of the bank t… - [East Van House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-van-house-pj-vj~1014185) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: The East Van House is located on an atypical 50′ x 75′ lot with no lane access (compared to the standard 33′ x 120′ lot) that backs onto a schoolyard. The neighborhood is eclectic and colorful, with streetscapes that reflect the diversity of the community and its inhabitants. The house is designed with a dominant asymmetrical geometry to comply with the prescriptive zoning requirements for the area, while also providing space for the tall, main stair volume that rises 26 feet from floor to the p… - [Horn Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/horn-renovation-pj-vj~241221) - Location: North Vancouver, BC - Photos: 11 - Description: Horn Renovation w/ Bernard Decosse Architect Firmly rooted on it’s site, this classic mid-century post and beam house avoided demolition in favour of an extensive renovation. New design elements, such as several millwork installations, insert themselves quietly into the existing post and beam system ensuring the clarity and heritage of the existing home was preserved. A white on white interior emphasizes the client’s collection of colourful art and the lush forest canopy beyond. Connection to th… - [Mathers Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mathers-residence-pj-vj~2290542) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Geddes Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/geddes-residence-pj-vj~170648) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 13 - [Evergreen Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/evergreen-renovation-pj-vj~788184) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This project included the renovation and addition to a late 1960s house in North Vancouver. Interior alterations focused on opening up the main living areas to maximize functionality and connect them to the exterior. Large sliding glass doors open up to the landscape and repurpose the immediate exterior space as an outdoor room. Additions to the home included a much needed home office and rec room for an active young family of four. Rather than trying to feather and blend in the addition, the ne… - [Gould Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/gould-residence-pj-vj~168147) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 3 - [Louie Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/louie-renovation-pj-vj~2819) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 4 - [W2nd Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/w2nd-renovation-pj-vj~160995) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 3 - [Bayridge Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bayridge-renovation-pj-vj~262600) - Location: West Vancouver, BC - Photos: 13 - [Kitsilano Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitsilano-renovation-pj-vj~282239) - Location: Vancouver, BC - Photos: 11 - Description: This project included a thorough renovation, restoration and landscape design of a traditional Craftsman House in the Kitsilano neighbourhood of Vancouver. Originally built in 1912, the house had received a mishmash of alterations over the years, rendering it with a confused identity. The exterior of the home was carefully restored to its original condition and set off by the new landscape design. Modern elements, such as exposed concrete walls, paving slabs and textured mass plantings reference… [See all 16 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/splyce-design-pfvwus-pf~503445580) ## Community Q&A **Q: What color grey did you paint the hardi board?** *(in Photo Questions)* Would like to know the paint color for the siding.
