Residential renovation
location
Vancouver, BC, Canada
size
250 m² / 2700 ft²
With a few simple moves including new cedar siding and handrails, re-cladding the existing porch structure and a coat of masonry paint, the front elevation is completely transformed
White finishes brighten the kitchen, while compact appliances allow cabinet space to be maximized
A floating upper cabinet wrapped in custom white oak panels hides an integrated range hood
The kitchen was reconfigured to create a dining area with space-saving banquette seating and a sliding glass door to a new rear deck
Large openings to kitchen allow ample natural light to reach the previously dark, north-facing living room
DESCRIPTION
This modest renovation is a complete update of what was an existing, deteriorating triplex in the Grandview-Woodland neighbourhood of East Vancouver. We updated all the interior finishes, while strategically electing to alter existing openings and locations of services only where they would create the most impact. This allowed us to create three comfortable, bright units with durable, quality finishes and fixtures on a tight budget.
