COMPATIBILITY OF DESIGN WITH EXISTING STRUCTURE
- Whole‑home transformation — 1980s Whistler residence fully renovated into a modern West Coast luxury home while maintaining structural continuity.
- Light‑enhancing stair redesign — Original enclosed staircases removed and replaced with custom open‑riser stairs to increase natural light flow across both first and second floors.
- Efficient heating upgrade — Outdated, inefficient fireplace replaced with an air‑tight wood stove to improve heat efficiency, reduce your energy expenditure, and open up the living room with its smaller design.
- Deck expansion — Small original deck extended into a wrap‑around deck to enhance outdoor living space.
EFFICIENT USE OF SPACE
- Entrance repurposing — Unused secondary entrance redesigned as a functional new bedroom.
- Floorplan optimization — Former open first‑floor area divided into two new bedrooms, one game room, and an office to maximize usability and privacy.
- Outdoor storage addition — New shed added to increase organized exterior storage capacity.
CREATIVITY & FINISHING DETAILS
- Modern kitchen & bath — Brand‑new kitchen and bathroom designed with lighter fixtures and open‑concept layouts to expand visual space.
- West Coast aesthetic — Updated finishes, materials, and lighting choices create a brighter, more inviting modern West Coast feel throughout the home.
- Space‑opening upgrades — Strategic use of lighter colours, improved lighting, and refined detailing enhances flow and elevates the luxury experience.
- Functional space creation - Renovation strategy focused on transforming previously unused or underutilized areas into beautiful, purposeful living spaces that support everyday life.
