The clients desired a modern, open-concept space to enjoy with their young family. The old kitchen was cramped and very dark. Since I love an infusion of natural light, in addition to removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room, it was a no-brainer to install a couple of Solatube tubular skylights, which magnify light more than conventional skylights. But we didn't want to discard some of the home's unique charms. The gorgeous art-deco glass tile backsplash was salvaged, and the curves where walls meet ceilings were delicately preserved. One of the clients, a gifted carpenter, milled the old-growth studs from the demolished wall and applied them as treatment to the back side of the island. The use of soapstone on the sink wall adds a touch of charm. Photography by Adam Gibson

This design combined the 18th century luxury city dwelling style with some modern tones. The walls were given a yellow shade to bring a cozy warmth into the room. Stenciling was infused on to the walls to bring some subtle details. The chairs were reupholstered and repainted to give a nod to classical furniture but with a modern twist of color. Original dark wood moldings and shelving were maintained but to take away some of the darkness we painted the backing of the shelf the same warm yellow as the walls and introduced lights, so that the client could show case their family heirlooms and travel collections.

An ultra-modern linear fireplace served as an ideal backdrop for a generously sized television installation. To infuse a touch of contemporary elegance, the rear end of the structure featured tasteful wood paneling, creating a pleasing contrast with the abundant stone textures.

What a fantastic couple to work with! We were presented with the challenges of needing more outdoor living space, a place to rinse after long bike rides, and an area for the young couples newest addition to play. We did it! We doubled the outdoor living space, added an outdoor shower just off the new patio, and managed to use the shape of the yard to our advantage to create an easy flow and accessibility to the yard! We were left with a new landscape that fit this young couples awesome style of a modern-craftsman infusion! Native Edge Landscape, LLC

This beautiful North Vancouver home belongs to a nature-loving and health-conscious couple, Emma and Vince (names changed), their two young children, and their dog, Jasper. When they contacted us about renovating and furnishing their kitchen and family room, we walked in and saw a world of potential waiting to be uncovered. Before: Larkhall Crescent Home: Like many original North Vancouver homes, the interior was definitely dated. We encountered late ‘80s finishes in powder pink and teal green, old carpet, and a kitchen that wasn’t maximized to suit this family’s modern-day lifestyle. However, the size of the rooms offered us a ton of space with which to get creative. Knowing our clients’ love of cooking, need for work spaces (Emma and Vince both work remotely), and growing family, we developed a design concept that would increase usable space, optimize storage, and create intimacy in this large area. As for the style, we were inspired by their European roots, inventing a new and modern take on “Belgian Farmhouse” style. Now, the home is truly one-of-a-kind. After: Warm & Cozy Family Room: Fresh, bright, and comfortable, this living area has been transformed! We started with the fireplace as a focal point, selecting aged brick tiles for added texture and a crisp wood mantle. The taupe-coloured sectional infuses the room with visual warmth and serves the added purpose of separating the family room from the kitchen. Emma and Vince were also keen on using non-toxic materials in their home, and we were happy to oblige. To meet their needs, we sourced natural wood elements and sought out Canadian-made products - that adhere to high health standards - whenever possible. Look closer at the elements of this space, and you will find this stunning, honeycomb-patterned rug in earthy gold, beige, and charcoal tones. It’s plush to the touch and full of visual texture that brings this room’s colour palette together. We sourced these two-tone chairs with caning, petrified wood side table, black sconces, and botanical prints in greyscale from local artist, Heather Johnston. We topped off the space with this dark wood and rattan console that offers storage facing the kitchen and presents an opportunity to display cherished items. The result is a cozy lounging space brimming with comfort and functionality. It’s perfect for enjoying quality family time, or Emma can simply slide the coffee table away to make room for her morning yoga practice. Now, let’s turn around and give some attention to the kitchen. Do you remember what the original kitchen looked like? If not, scroll back up, because the transformation is shocking… Moody & Welcoming Kitchen for Healthy Living: This kitchen looks very different from how it started, right? Though we didn’t touch any walls, the kitchen has almost doubled in usable space! We created a long, extended island with storage, an outlet for small appliances, and seating for comfortable prep, after-school snacking, or mingling among friends. On the other side of the island, the family has even more storage and an integrated dishwasher within easy reach of the sink, perfect for quick clean-up. From this angle, you can also see the expansive custom Shaker cabinetry in white and the integrated double ovens. These facilitate their cooking experience and gave us the opportunity to add an additional surprise… A coffee garage station and more hidden storage! Keeping these items located along the perimeter allows them to be accessed by the family or their guests without someone getting under the cook’s feet. These are the little details that make everyday life easier and more enjoyable. Moving deeper into the kitchen, the seamless induction cooktop topped with a freestanding concealed hood fan commands attention in a soft yet prominent way. The natural wood accent mirrors the fireplace mantle, and the choice of off-black wood-grain cabinets not only continues our black-and-white colour palette but adds a sense of depth and contrast. The corner sink is located to the right and perfectly positioned with a view of their thriving backyard. To invite more of this family’s character into the space, we mixed metals for interest — matte black, dark pewter, and warm brass — and created open shelves in white oak for their plants and decor. You can also glimpse the tumbled edge of the backsplash tile, which echoes the rustic brick of the fireplace. It adds that farmhouse charm while still feeling timeless and sophisticated. Last but not least, we designed this dining banquette in the bay window (with integrated bench storage, of course), where the family can share a meal together, the kids can do homework, or Emma and Vince can work and enjoy a change of scenery from their offices. Like the other spaces in the home, it was designed to be beautiful, multi-functional, and long-lasting. Praise from Our Clients: It is clear that we love this home, but what did our clients have to say? “Lori is a visionary and masters execution to the finest detail all at the same time. When she first met us to know more about who we are and how we live, she could right away envision how we could use the space in our kitchen and living room…The results exceeded our expectations. Lori and her team were also a delight to work with — coordination with all the trades, fast problem-solving, regular updates, professional and friendly attitude of her entire team — made it the dream team. Thank you SHD for making our space so beautiful!” In turn, we are so grateful for this family’s trust, their open communication, and for being wonderful people with whom to work. (So, thank you!)

This French inspired kitchen is a blend of old world charm infused with modern design. The goal of this renovation was to combine the kitchen with the dining area and reconfigure the floorplan with entertaining in mind. Gold accents are featured throughout this kitchen, elevating the European design. The Calacatta Gold polished Silestone counters, customized Modern-Aire vent hood, and Bertazzoni stove create a chic and decidedly French vibe. The rich walnut island featuring a distressed finish is a perfect contrast to the modern grey cabinetry and truly makes it feel like an antique. For a fun and functional twist, there hidden pantry accessed through a murphy door where the homeowner can showcase her beloved antique collection. French doors provide an abundance of natural light and expand the entertainment space between the kitchen and back deck. This delightful epicurean kitchen offers a touch of French sophistication and luxe finishes and is truly the piece de resistance in this home.

In this home remodel project, we worked together with our clients to create a modern coastal home design that incorporates natural elements with clean lines and functionality. The home now features an open space layout that exudes simplicity and formality, while also being casually elegant and relaxed. The home already had the foundation of a modern coastal home, however, there were some things that needed to be removed, such as a wall dividing the living room and the kitchen, and things that needed to be updated, such as the floors and the cabinetry. Overall, the remodeled home is all about being fresh, put-together, and welcoming. The subdued color palette is mostly composed of creamy whites, neutral browns, and subtle grays, with a pop of blue here and there to tie the whole modern coastal look together. The bare walls and ceilings, and the crisp and clean lines, make the space airy and contemporary. Meanwhile, traditional wood elements and a few bohemian decors acting as accent pieces infuse a cozy feeling to the space.

Impluvium Architecture Location: San Ramon, CA, USA This project was a direct referral from a friend. I was the Architect and helped coordinate with various sub-contractors. I also co-designed the project with various consultants including Interior and Landscape Design Almost always, and in this case, I do my best to draw out the creativity of my clients, even when they think that they are not creative. This house is a perfect example of that with much of the client's vision and culture infused into the house.
