Styled after a Shaker Revival/Transitional aesthetic, this striking new kitchen appropriately belongs to a condo in a landmark building designed by James K.M. Cheng Architects in the Coal Harbour area of downtown Vancouver. The “Vancouverism” architectural style stemmed from the types of buildings designed by Cheng; one of the aims is to “preserve corridors” as the city’s downtown skyline (a popular nickname is City of Glass) is notable for the multitude of glass skyscrapers and is a source of pride for locals. The Shaker Revival interior marries well to the soaring building. Use of the principles elements of the style including: functionality, simplicity and use of dark, rich colours along side handcrafted furniture and natural materials has created a stunning, awe-inspiring room of grandiose beauty.

Tuscan Retreat

Definitely ‘stuck in the 80’s’, the old basement layout was compartmentalized causing a closed-in and cramped feeling. The homeowners desired a retreat space with ease of movement from one area to another for entertaining and relaxing with family or friends.

The homeowners dreamed of a basement reminiscent of their favorite vacation getaway in Little Palm Island, in the Florida Keys. They desired a warm “Bermuda/Polynesian/Tommy Bahama” look and feel exuding comfort, and relaxation with style and luxury. They also were looking for an avenue to exhibit favored keepsakes gathered during their vacation travels.

Now the entire floor takes on a fresh and warm glow, with touches of elegance and sophistication. What had been numerous separated compartments now flow together with warmth and charm in one luxurious terrace retreat.

What the Client said:
“Our motivation was to create a “retreat in the style of British Colonial that would simulate a ‘vacation at home’! Our Contractor gave us access to our pool along with the pleasure of enjoying our terrace as a retreat! My favorite part is the feel; it’s like going somewhere different whenever you go downstairs! Our Contractor was able to ‘see’ the whole concept of what we wanted, rather than just moving walls and putting in different flooring. They were much more creative than a ‘normal’ redesign company!”
