Project Overview

Located in Vancouver’s prestigious Coal Harbour neighborhood, this expansive 2,000 sq. ft. luxury residence offered stunning waterfront views but was in need of a major renovation to align with the elegance and sophistication expected in a high-end home. The homeowners envisioned a refined, modern living space that enhanced functionality while preserving the breathtaking scenery.

Our challenge? Transform the outdated interiors into a contemporary, high-end residence that maximized both aesthetics and livability—without compromising the home’s unique charm.

The Challenges

• Outdated Kitchen & Appliances: The kitchen featured dark cherry wood cabinetry, heavy stone countertops, and an inefficient layout that made cooking and entertaining feel cramped rather than seamless.
• A Fireplace That Dated the Space: The original fireplace had outdated tilework that clashed with the home’s modern potential.
• Entrance That Lacked Impact: The first impression of the home was dull and uninspiring, missing the wow factor expected in a luxury property.
• Heavy Materials & Dark Tones: The residence felt closed in, with dark finishes that absorbed natural light rather than accentuating the bright, open-concept design the homeowners desired.

Our Approach

Kitchen Transformation: From Cramped to Culinary Perfection

We completely reimagined the kitchen by introducing sleek, modern cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, and light-reflecting materials that made the space feel larger and more functional. The layout was optimized to provide better workflow and an effortless cooking experience, perfect for entertaining or everyday use.

• Replaced dark wood cabinetry with custom-designed, soft-toned cabinets to brighten the space.
• Upgraded countertops to premium, durable stone surfaces that add both beauty and resilience.
• Integrated high-end appliances, blending style with cutting-edge technology.
• Created an open-concept flow by incorporating a spacious kitchen island with a natural wood finish, perfect for socializing.

Fireplace & Living Space: A Statement of Elegance

The outdated fireplace was replaced with sleek, contemporary finishes that seamlessly blended with the home’s panoramic waterfront backdrop. Now, the fireplace enhances rather than competes with the view, creating a warm and inviting focal point for the living area.

• Modernized the fireplace surround with elegant marble and contemporary finishes.
• Integrated a built-in entertainment unit with stylish shelving and accent lighting, elevating the entire living space.
• Maximized the seating arrangement to take full advantage of the incredible views.
• Softened the lighting to create a cozy yet luxurious atmosphere.

Entrance Upgrade: A Grand First Impression

The entrance was reimagined to set the tone for the entire home, providing a seamless transition into a high-end living space.

• Updated flooring and lighting to introduce a sense of openness.
• Installed sleek, modern hardware and finishes that aligned with the home’s overall design.
• Added statement decor and architectural details to elevate the sense of arrival.

Custom Storage & Functionality Enhancements

Luxury isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also about efficiency. To make everyday living more convenient, we incorporated customized storage solutions that blend seamlessly with the modern design.

• Created a fully integrated storage wall in the hallway, combining functionality with a sophisticated, sleek appearance.
• Designed a contemporary home office nook, ensuring practicality without compromising style.

The Results: A Seamless Blend of Modern Luxury & Functionality

The newly renovated Coal Harbour residence now stands as a testament to sophisticated design, high-end craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. By lightening the interior, optimizing space usage, and upgrading materials, we transformed this property into a luxurious sanctuary where every detail enhances the homeowner’s experience.
