When a family of four purchased this 1956 mid-century modern home in Woodbrook Highlands, they saw beyond its dated renovations to the architectural heritage beneath. Originally designed by William Landsberg—a protégé of Breuer and Gropius—the home carried the DNA of modernist design, but had lost its way during an earlier remodel. Working alongside Place Architecture: Design, Greenleaf was honored to help restore this home’s architectural integrity. The full-scope renovation included updates to the kitchen, primary suite, bathrooms, and garage, as well as extensive exterior work—from siding and windows to doors and trim—each chosen to reflect the home’s original mid-century modern character while improving its performance and livability. Inside, walls were opened to create better flow between the kitchen and dining room, with a new peninsula and counter seating to suit modern family life. Slate tiles in the kitchen complement the original stone flooring, while walnut cabinetry and warm green-gray tones nod to the home’s natural surroundings. On the exterior, decayed cedar siding and outdated stucco were replaced with sustainable composite cladding made of rice hulls and recycled plastic—selected to mimic the original tongue-and-groove look with less maintenance. Trim made from fly ash, larger energy-efficient Marvin windows, and sleek new doors completed the transformation. Set on a sloping lot, the home now opens beautifully to its surroundings. Sliding doors and thoughtfully designed terraces create a strong indoor-outdoor connection. From the color palette to the materials, every choice was made with long-term durability, beauty, and the home’s mid-century soul in mind. We’re proud to help homeowners breathe new life into design-driven homes like this—preserving history while supporting how people live today.

We recently completed a development project in the Pemberton Heights area of North Vancouver. These 2 houses were built to benefit the long-term durability through the selection of efficient materials and process which will give a longer lifespan with lower maintenance and energy costs. This project was a perfect fit for us to assist in the design and execute the construction while working with some outstanding clients and consultants. A win for all of us! 
The original home was recycled hitting our target goals of 90%, leading way to a couple of stealth looking homes with performance levels right there with the best of them. Our mechanical engineer designed the mechanical systems to achieve maximum efficiency and hit our internal target goals that we have set for ourselves in accordance with our Vision here at Naikoon. These homes came in at EnerGuide score of 85% which can also be referenced in GJ with a score of 54GJ. To give you an idea of how this rating relates to an average home of this size, these 2 beauties on Mackay are about 80% more efficient. The main components in the design and equipment selection that leads to this are:
1) Space heating and Cooling
2) Water Heating
3) Lights and Appliances
4) Wall assemblies and insulation

Like all of our projects, we take pride in looking at the small details of the house. Things like, insulated water lines, domestic hot water heat recovery units, electric car plug-ins, solar power ready, extensive use of environmentally friendly materials, hot water heat pumps and stringent testing and inspection point along the way, led to a successful completion of 2 certified high-performance homes with Built Green Platinum and EnergyStar certifications.

Located in İzmir, this villa brings together the refined lines of architecture with Serapool’s natural tones. The Antique Grey series reflects the natural stone texture of contemporary grey, adding a sophisticated atmosphere around the pool. With a water absorption rate below 0.5%, the tiles ensure long-term durability and demonstrate high resistance to UV rays, chemicals, and thermal shock. A slip resistance value of PTV ≥ 45 enhances surface safety in wet areas. This application not only offers a premium swimming experience but also redefines luxury living through architectural harmony, secure transitions, and enduring elegance.

Completed in collaboration with Alison Hall Architect, this Spring 2025 project focused on creating a dedicated laundry space that improves both the functionality and organization of the home. The new laundry addition was carefully designed to maximize efficiency while complementing the home's existing architecture and style. Custom cabinetry, ample storage, durable surfaces, and a thoughtful layout transformed a routine household task into a more convenient and enjoyable experience. Every detail was selected to enhance usability, from optimized workspace planning to smart storage solutions that help keep the area clean and organized. The result is a bright, practical, and beautifully finished laundry room that supports the homeowners' daily needs while adding long-term value to the home.

Our busy Silicon Valley clients asked us to convert their tight-quartered 1960’s ranch house to a gracious family home that would meet their long term needs. Ease of living was paramount, both in functionality and in ordered design. The project was completed on a moderate budget.While retaining most of the structure of the existing house to avoid costly structural changes, we opened walls to improve the sight lines and flow of the house and bring in more light. We made small additions at the front and back bedrooms to gain space for the family and relatives. An existing underused patio area was improved with a simple outdoor kitchen and overhang to extend the living space to the outside. Costs were kept down with choices of modest materials. Everything was made to be functional. Ample storage has been built into the right places. The details of the kitchen were carefully worked out to accommodate all the wishes of the various cooks in the family. The house is set up to be easy to keep clean. Acoustic walls separate living from bedroom spaces so adults can enjoy time together while children sleep. The outdoor kitchen has easy access to the indoor kitchen and the garage, and its setup promotes socializing while cooking outdoors. A large part of the narrow back yard was previously unusable space due to a steep slope up to a neighbor’s higher fence. With a new retaining wall and some re-grading we took back more of the yard for the patio and play space on a new lawn. The remodeled house is a mix of contemporary and traditional elements. Cool colors have a calming effect. Traditional items such as prairie style windows, trellis, mosaic tiles, and Shaker style cabinets, break down the scale in an otherwise streamlined, contemporary design. A new gabled roof with a broad arch at the front of the house marks the entry and resolves a challenging form where the central entry is set back from walls on both sides.
