Walls were removed and opened up to create a more open-concept space for the kitchen, dining room and family room. New storage was built-in along the half wall which provides a logical divide between the dining room and family room making the space feel very open but all clearly defining zones for use.

On the shore of Lake Ontario, adjacent to a large wetland, this residence merges ecological design and logical planning with a contemporary style that takes cues from the local agrarian architecture. Four interconnected buildings evocative of an evolved farmhouse separate public and private activities, while also creating a series of external courtyards. The materials, organization of structures and framed views from the residence are experienced as a series of juxtapositions: tradition and innovation, building and landscape, shelter and exposure.

Inspiration for a contemporary eat-in kitchen remodel in Vancouver with flat-panel cabinets, medium tone wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances and an island

After 15 years in their 1970’s suburban ranch house, our clients requested a complete remodel. As landscape designers, gourmands and artifact collectors, they wanted an open floor plan with room to cook, custom cabinetry to display their eclectic collections and abundance of exterior interludes. We created a new structural logic, replacing the two-story western wall with four glass doors that opened up the living room and double-island kitchen (including wood burning oven and beverage station) to a view of the valley. The warm contemporary palette of natural wood, stone and acid washed steel brought together make for an open space ideal for family gatherings and entertaining.

The first thing to do in this dining room was to engage the kitchen - which meant taking down upper cabinets diving the rooms. The other requirement was to eliminate two recessed lights that challenged the logical location of a dining table and add a chandelier. The rest was just painting and detailing - less is more - so the buyers could imagine the space as either a dining room or a great room.
