What a transformation this home built in the late 70's went through to create the picture perfect rustic-yet-elegant farmhouse style. This great room features soaring ceilings, with massive chandeliers to light the space, suspended from wood trusses. An island to accommodate this large entertaining family, anchors the kitchen. A subtle hood projects off the back wall, flanked by sconces and a quartz shelf. The paneled Thermador fridge/freezer mirrors the pantry - part of it as a walk through space to the secret butlers pantry behind the kitchen. The rustic alder island is topped with Taj Mahal quartzite. The bar peeks through in the background.

Turning a dated studio apartment into a luxury short-term rental property alleviates the stress that tourists experience when booking accommodations in Vancouver. Rivaling any 5-star downtown hotel this gem, across from the Seabreeze Walkway, was renovated to attract tourists from all over the world. The floor plan was kept intact and given a much-needed facelift. The dated flooring was removed and durable vinyl-plank flooring was put in its place. The custom cabinetry in the kitchen has a fresh feel with ivory flush doors juxtaposed with walnut cubbies and accents. Quartz, Stratuarietto counters with an elegant waterfall peninsula partition the kitchen from the living room. The peninsula island was deepened to accommodate seating. “It’s important to use the same materials throughout a small space, notes the designer, as you don’t want to overstimulate the senses”.

Inspiration can come from many things. In the case of this kitchen remodel, it’s inspiration came from the handcrafted beauty of the homeowner’s Portuguese dinnerware collection and their traditional elegant style. How do you design a kitchen that’s suited for small intimate gatherings but also can accommodate catered parties for 250 guests? A large island was designed to be perfect to cozy up to but also large enough to be cleared off and used as a large serving station. Plenty of storage wraps around the room and hides every small appliance, leaving ample spare countertop space. Large openings into the family room and solarium allow guests to easily come and go without halting traffic.

Designing a kitchen that embodies a neutral and timeless aesthetic while accommodating the client's playful and sassy personality is a delightful challenge. This kitchen combines classic elements, such as soft taupe cabinetry and elegant marble backsplash, with a chic and versatile layout that promotes both functionality and style. To inject a touch of the client’s vibrant character, playful accents like bold accessories, leather nook chairs, and unique wallcovering are thoughtfully integrated into the design. The result is a harmonious space where the calming backdrop allows the lively elements to shine, creating an inviting environment that's perfect for both everyday cooking and entertaining friends. This kitchen not only offers timeless appeal but also reflects the fun-loving spirit of its owner, making it the heart of the home where creativity and warmth flourish.

The homeowners also wanted to ensure the new sun shade pergola would feel like an extension of the home’s colonial style, while allowing then to move from the indoor space to the patio without getting wet. With no externally visible hardware, the clean exterior lines of the Azenco R-Blade blended perfectly with the home’s traditional colonial stylings. To ensure complete all-weather rain protection, the design team overlapped the pergola roof with the home’s roofline to provide the same seamless feel as a pergola attached to the house. Covering this massive patio also meant the captured rain waters needed to be dispersed to keep the patio below dry. To accommodate the heavy anticipated flow, the hidden internal gutter system split runoff from the six pergola zones and deposited it in numerous surrounding planter beds.

This beautifully sited Colonial captures the essence of the serene and sophisticated Webster Hill neighborhood. Stunning architectural design and a character-filled interior will serve with distinction and grace for years to come. Experience the full effect of the family room with dramatic cathedral ceiling, built-in bookcases and grand brick fireplace.

Luxury Kitchen Remodel in this highly traditional, and slightly Tuscan residence. Focal points included a custom copper hood, and perfectly sized custom tile medallion at the Viking Range. The built-in area for the double ovens was designed to also accommodate a built-in television. Kravet Fabric selected for the Mock Roman shade at the kitchen window. The window was enlarged to allow more natural light into this now state-of-the-art Gourmet Kitchen.
