This image highlights the open concept layout created during a full house renovation at a residence in the Kerrisdale neighbourhood of Vancouver, completed by Arani Construction Inc. A major structural modification was carried out to transform the original compartmentalized layout into a bright, connected living space. To achieve this open concept kitchen design, the existing wall separating the kitchen from the living and dining areas was completely removed. Structural beams were installed to properly support the load of the structure while allowing the space to remain open and visually connected. The renovation introduced a large quartz island with an integrated gas cooktop that now serves as the central workspace for the kitchen. Deep storage drawers are integrated into the island cabinetry, while a ceiling-mounted stainless steel ventilation hood provides effective airflow above the cooking area. With the structural wall removed, natural light from surrounding windows now flows freely between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. This structural upgrade significantly improved the functionality, circulation, and openness of the main floor within this Kerrisdale Vancouver home renovation.

The beautiful, old barn on this Topsfield estate was at risk of being demolished. Before approaching Mathew Cummings, the homeowner had met with several architects about the structure, and they had all told her that it needed to be torn down. Thankfully, for the sake of the barn and the owner, Cummings Architects has a long and distinguished history of preserving some of the oldest timber framed homes and barns in the U.S. Once the homeowner realized that the barn was not only salvageable, but could be transformed into a new living space that was as utilitarian as it was stunning, the design ideas began flowing fast. In the end, the design came together in a way that met all the family’s needs with all the warmth and style you’d expect in such a venerable, old building. On the ground level of this 200-year old structure, a garage offers ample room for three cars, including one loaded up with kids and groceries. Just off the garage is the mudroom – a large but quaint space with an exposed wood ceiling, custom-built seat with period detailing, and a powder room. The vanity in the powder room features a vanity that was built using salvaged wood and reclaimed bluestone sourced right on the property. Original, exposed timbers frame an expansive, two-story family room that leads, through classic French doors, to a new deck adjacent to the large, open backyard. On the second floor, salvaged barn doors lead to the master suite which features a bright bedroom and bath as well as a custom walk-in closet with his and hers areas separated by a black walnut island. In the master bath, hand-beaded boards surround a claw-foot tub, the perfect place to relax after a long day. In addition, the newly restored and renovated barn features a mid-level exercise studio and a children’s playroom that connects to the main house. From a derelict relic that was slated for demolition to a warmly inviting and beautifully utilitarian living space, this barn has undergone an almost magical transformation to become a beautiful addition and asset to this stately home.
