Home design - traditional home design idea

A modern West Coast landscape in Vancouver blending clean architectural lines with lush, layered planting. Large-format paving, natural stone, sculptural boulders, integrated lighting, a subtle water feature, and contemporary outdoor seating create a calm, highly functional garden that feels both refined and connected to nature. The design draws on Scandinavian and Pacific Northwest influences, balancing minimalist hardscape with soft, textural planting for year-round interest.

The homeowner felt closed-in with a small entry to the kitchen which blocked off all visual and audio connections to the rest of the first floor. The small and unimportant entry to the kitchen created a bottleneck of circulation between rooms. Our goal was to create an open connection between 1st floor rooms, make the kitchen a focal point and improve general circulation. We removed the major wall between the kitchen & dining room to open up the site lines and expose the full extent of the first floor. We created a new cased opening that framed the kitchen and made the rear Palladian style windows a focal point. White cabinetry was used to keep the kitchen bright and a sharp contrast against the wood floors and exposed brick. We painted the exposed wood beams white to highlight the hand-hewn character. The open kitchen has created a social connection throughout the entire first floor. The communal effect brings this family of four closer together for all occasions. The island table has become the hearth where the family begins and ends there day. It's the perfect room for breaking bread in the most casual and communal way.

A beautiful live edge table made of one solid 3" slab of responsibly harvested California redwood brings the stunning natural beauty of nature to any living space. This centerpiece compliments any home with the joy of breaking bread over one of nature's masterpieces. Available in many custom sizes and lengths, this piece can be customized with any available wood to suit your needs.

The dining area slip seats are upholstered in a casual stripe. The look created was a relaxing place to break bread with the family.

This opulent kitchen is full of warm rich woods, cool stone and more storage than one could dream of! The cabinets reach to the ceiling with smaller, well-lit glass front boxes at the top. Perfect for display pieces and to break up the finished wood. This kitchen is supremely functional and perfect for a large happy family!

The lower level contains the couple's wine cellar, as well as a fully equipped bar where they can savor wine tastings, cocktail parties and delicious meals while enjoying quality time with family and friends. The existing concrete floors were sprayed a rust color adored by the Lady of the House, and served as the color inspiration for the rust/orange swivel chairs in the TV viewing area. Two dramatic floor lamps flank a console table and divide the TV viewing zone from the nearby pool table. I can't wait to see my client again soon, not only to put the finishing touches on their home's transformation, but to break bread and share a cocktail, as we have become close during the past 21 months with our many flights to and from Chicago to Minneapolis.

Hygge – pronounced "hoo-ga" – is coziness. A way of living that emphasizes the importance of simplicity and unwinding. It's hospitality and warmth. But at DIRTT, it also means a living lab. The home of co-founder and DIRTT CEO, Mogens Smed, is a giant test subject for the possibilities of prefabricated construction. The home demonstrates what's possible when traditional craftsmanship and modern technology combine. Complex angles and curves become a possibility. Exquisite finishes become reality when labor costs are flipped on their head. The home has become what it was meant to be all along; a place to gather with colleagues, Clients, family and friends to break bread and get to know one another.
