A complete interior renovation was undertaken on this 5,000square-foot
West Side Vancouver house, including a new
kitchen, a refreshed wok kitchen and the makeover of all four
bedrooms on the second level. The home was also wired with
super-smart controls. The basement was remade into a friendly
place for the owners’ four large dogs. Energy upgrades include
new furnace and radiant heating, and low-energy lighting.

This “too small” duplex was in need of a complete makeover to
open up the space inside. Creative space planning, new windows,
additional French doors and large glass sliders have created
a spacious feel without adding any square footage. Reclaimed
fir flooring, maple cabinetry, splendid tile work in the baths, and
a myriad of small details throughout, transformed the house.
From the expanded entry foyer to the reconfigured living room,
it now has the open, airy look the homeowners were after.

This plain 1960s back-split with carport
has undergone a complete makeover
and now boasts an exterior with
stone detail and a large garage. The
refurbished home has a slate-floor entry leading to a living room
with elegant crown moulding and a new fireplace. The small
separate dining room and outdated kitchen have become a greatroom
with custom cabinetry, large island, granite countertops,
wet bar, media centre, and a new hardwood floor that extends
throughout the main level. The renovated lower level offers a
slate-floored and wainscotted family room that opens to the garden,
plus an elegant powder room and new laundry room.

This 40-year-old rancher underwent an
extensive renovation and a 200-square-foot addition that
recreated the living area floor plan. The former small entrance
hall, sunken living room, and separate kitchen have been
replaced by a single-level spacious and airy great room featuring
a stunning kitchen with large granite island and stainless-steel
appliances, teak floors, stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and
walls of windows which open to the extended patio leading to
the pool deck. A new powder room and laundry with slate floors
complete this beautiful and functional renovation.

A growing family needed more
space in their 20-year-old subdivision
home. A complete renovation with an addition over
the garage for two more bedrooms, a new family bath and
an expanded master suite for the parents proved the solution.
Cherrywood kitchen cabinets and granite countertops
are enhanced by a bright new sunroom. Hardwood floors and
extensive tiles are used throughout. A new media room, built to
energy-efficiency standards, and a fully landscaped yard complete
this makeover.
