The Missing Middle. A unique development in the Moodyville neighbourhood of North Vancouver. Working with Tina Hubert Architect, and Design Studio 8, we’ve completed a development project that fits the Missing Middle to a tee, and mix in our unique flavour of energy-efficient building. We’ve subdivided a 66′ wide, duplex-zoned lot into two new lots. One lot has a 700 sq. foot laneway home and a 2600 square foot main home. The other lot has two detached 1800 square foot homes, and a shared garage. We’re up to our usual tricks here: each of the homes we have built is 40% better than building code in terms of energy efficiency, and we’re aiming to have them certified Built Green Platinum, and three of the four homes have received the Energy Star rating. We’re excited to have brought together energy-efficient housing with a building style that revitalizes neighbourhoods and promotes diversity!

This award-winning whole house renovation of a circa 1875 single family home in the historic Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington DC provides the client with an open and more functional layout without requiring an addition. After major structural repairs and creating one uniform floor level and ceiling height, we were able to make a truly open concept main living level, achieving the main goal of the client. The large kitchen was designed for two busy home cooks who like to entertain, complete with a built-in mud bench. The water heater and air handler are hidden inside full height cabinetry. A new gas fireplace clad with reclaimed vintage bricks graces the dining room. A new hand-built staircase harkens to the home's historic past. The laundry was relocated to the second floor vestibule. The three upstairs bathrooms were fully updated as well. Final touches include new hardwood floor and color scheme throughout the home.

Designers Dawn Johns and Brittany Hutt aimed to make the space appear visually brighter and remain aesthetically unified with the design of the entire condo. The main areas of the home such as the foyer, hall ways, bathrooms, kitchen and dining room were upgraded with new, lighter colored flooring. For these areas, the Apollo 12 x 24 tile in the color Beige from Happy Floors was selected to revive the entire condo and add a touch of modern design. The kitchen was masked with dark cabinets and granite countertops, which left it feeling dated and understated. Dawn and Brittany worked to give the kitchen a mini makeover with new countertops, backsplash and hardware.

Unique design details found throughout this kitchen bridge the gaps between classic, modern, industrial, and eclectic. Rare and intricate combinations of tile, wood, steel, aluminum, and Dekton create a comfortable large kitchen with harmonious balance. Classic white cabinets with stainless steel toe kick are contrasted by the large walnut island with a taller coordinating toe. Floating in complete disguise is the 1.2 cm ultra thin countertop by Dekton rarely seen in a classic kitchen application. Walnut shelves float on the white stamped tin patterned tile and are grounded with the industrial stainless tambour appliance garage. The 3" thick floating bistro bar top by Dekton cantelivers nearly three feet with minimal visual support giving ample knee space to those who lounge at the table. The two island kitchen with an eating bar and breakfast table solved every design dilemma a large long kitchen space can have. Functional spatial design combined with unique material selections and applications makes this kitchen truly the heART of the home! Photo Credit: Fred Donham-Photographerlink

Perched in the foothills of Edna Valley, this single family residence was designed to fulfill the clients’ desire for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Much of the program and architectural forms were driven by the picturesque views of Edna Valley vineyards, visible from every room in the house. Ample amounts of glazing brighten the interior of the home, while framing the classic Central California landscape. Large pocketing sliding doors disappear when open, to effortlessly blend the main interior living spaces with the outdoor patios. The stone spine wall runs from the exterior through the home, housing two different fireplaces that can be enjoyed indoors and out. Because the clients work from home, the plan was outfitted with two offices that provide bright and calm work spaces separate from the main living area. The interior of the home features a floating glass stair, a glass entry tower and two master decks outfitted with a hot tub and outdoor shower. Through working closely with the landscape architect, this rather contemporary home blends into the site to maximize the beauty of the surrounding rural area.

Sia Moore's design objective for Pivora, was to create a Mediterranean, luxurious and a boho-chic modern restaurant design. The restaurant is a two-storey space, composed of ground floor with the main hall and a mezzanine with dishwashing unit, electrical room and staff room. For the ground floor, the space was divided into two zones - the main dining room and the bar with three elliptical seafood showcase, refrigerators, wine racks and wall-mounted divided into two parts with the main hall on the ground floor and the banquet hall on the first floor. The restaurant space was originally built as one-storey area. However, during the design stage, building a mezzanine was proposed to client to provide a dining area with high ceiling and spacious feeling. Electrical and mechanical rooms, staff room and dishwashing unit was then located to the mezzanine floor, which was covered by glass film with an attempt to conceal the space from the gazes of guest dining area. Capturing the Mediterranean Spirit The restaurant is filled with rough unprocessed surfaces - complex brickwork, terrazzo flooring, exposed ceiling design. Many of the decoration details implies the seafood and organic life. Connotations that are vastly related to marine theme appear in the paintings or large elliptical seafood showcase and in the large kitchen window where the fresh food is cooked in front of the dining tables, and in the emerald green bar tiles, that is inspired by the colors of the fascinating underwater habitat. Reflecting the vibrant and energetic spirit of the Mediterranean culture, Pivora presents a warm seafood restaurant experience. From its custom design wooden furniture and bar decorations to the brickworks on the wall of main dining room and its boho-chic lighting solutions completed by indoor plants hanging over the ceiling are aiming to set the mood for a comfortable dining experience; an experience in which the joy rises with sharing. Not to forget, Pivora offers a wide selection of local shrimps, sea bass and a large assortment of white wines from all around the world.
