This North Vancouver townhouse project began in February, 2020, and I speak for both the clients and myself when I say the project got us all through some rocky, pandemic times.

Initially, the sink and dishwasher were situated in a peninsula that cut the room in two, making the space feel cramped and cluttered. It was also a dark corner of the house, so we added new LED potlights throughout to bring in more light.

To improve flow in the kitchen, we moved the plumbing stack back to the wall and turned the peninsula into an island. adding ample storage space with custom cabinetry. A quartz backsplash from counter to ceiling in the kitchen bounces the light around, creating a fun, and functional family kitchen.

Needing to keep this wall to accommodate electrical needs, we cut the wall down to half-size (shielding the main entrance from the view of the living room), and took advantage of the space to provide storage. On the reverse side of this bookshelf, a small mirror and storage for shoes creates a a mini-foyer, leaving no space wasted.

 Ironically, in the living room, we divided the space into two zones with an L-shaped sofa. This furniture placement creates a more cozy lounging zone, perfect for watching movies, entertaining, or reading a book.

At the end of this long room, we carved out a play zone for the family’s two young boys, a place where they can play within sight, and a spot where toys are out of site from the living room. In this zone, we did a custom cabinet that coordinates with the kitchen units, with the addition of a wood surround to add a finished touch.

Bathrooms are always so hard to photograph, but too good to resist.

In this ensuite, the client was looking for a lux, spa-like feeling, full of lush jewel tones and finishes. The double vanity is custom, and the room features both a walk-in shower and a deep soaker tub.

The Gustav Klimt, however, is not actually an original- sometimes, at the end of the day, an old favorite print still makes you feel at home, and that is wonderful.
