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.
