Tired of doing laundry in an unfinished rugged basement? These homeowner's were as well! They contacted Castle to help them with their basement planning and build for a finished laundry space and new bathroom with shower. After the designer and client walked through ideas to improve flow of space, we decided to eliminate the existing 1/2 bath in the family room, and move the new bathroom into the existing laundry room. The full laundry room was finished to include new walls, ceilings, new plumbing, new Adura luxury vinyl tile flooring, beautiful shaker style cabinetry with beadboard panel, Glossy white Cultured marble countertops, a new Blanco composite sink, and Kohler Bellera faucet. In the new bathroom space, we continued the Adura luxury vinyl flooring. Finishes in the bathroom include Kohler Memoirs pedestal sink, Kohler Archer faucet, custom hex tile shower floor, subway tile walls, and custom frameless glass shower enclosure. Additional improvements were made to improve the health of the home including asbestos tile abatement, new drain tile and sump pump, new spray foam insulation, new glass block window, and a new Panasonic bathroom fan. We also decided to save and restore some original pieces in the home like their existing 5-panel doors and repurposing one salvaged door into a pocket door for the new bathroom. The homeowner completed the basement finish with new carpeting in the family room. The whole basement feels fresh, new, and has a great flow. They will enjoy their happy and healthy home for years to come.

Design work for this eclectic 1900’s home in Maplewood started with making infrastructure improvements throughout the house. The new owners wanted systems that would be energy efficient and ecologically friendly. We installed a very high efficiency HVAC system, replaced the piping and plumbing throughout, and specified new super high efficiency windows. Other exterior improvements included new leaders and gutters, insulation, and new siding in some locations. These upgrades were balanced with maintaining as many as the original details of the house as possible. When you walk into the house, you still sense the original character and charm of the house, but are surrounded by modern amenities and environmentally sensitive finishes. Specific renovations include updated and reconfigured bathrooms throughout, a new kitchen, finishing of the basement, and repurposing of several rooms so the house would have better flow. In 2011 the family moved back to New York City, and new owners purchased this Maplewood home. We had the pleaser of working with them to design further improvements to the house necessitated by their growing family. We added a porte cochere, a family-room, and increased the ceiling height in their master bedroom. These improvements augmented our design work previously completed in 2008, and the house continues to be a blend of traditional old-house details with modern, contemporary furnishings that perfectly suite a family with young children.

This landscape transformation was completed as part of the full property renovation in the Kerrisdale neighbourhood of Vancouver. The backyard layout was redesigned to create a cleaner and more functional outdoor environment while improving access from the rear lane to the main yard. A new concrete walkway was installed to provide a direct path from the parking area toward the lawn and garden space. Pressure-treated round-edge wood borders were used to neatly define the lawn edges and maintain separation between hardscape and soft landscape areas. To enhance privacy and visual continuity, a new cedar fence was installed along the property line. Select trees and overgrown vegetation were carefully removed to open the yard and improve sunlight exposure, resulting in a brighter and more usable backyard space for family activities.

Some staircases are installed. This one was built, hand-welded, painted on site, and engineered from the ground up for the space. This fully custom U-shaped staircase features white oak treads, white painted risers, and freestanding stringers. The forged iron railing was hand-welded and finished entirely on location, with a continuous handrail running throughout and solid balusters to match. Every component was fabricated in place, a process that reflects what fully custom actually means. A cascading pendant chandelier, a beautiful painting, and wainscoting detail on the walls round out a space where the staircase is clearly the architectural centerpiece. 1976-2026 © Century Stair Company
