Loving the View

Loving the view of the Burrard Inlet, the homeowners wanted to stay put and decided that a complete overhaul of their existing home was in order.

Loving the view of the Burrard Inlet, the homeowners wanted to stay put and decided that a complete overhaul of their existing home was in order.  The three tiered home takes advantage of the views and a major point of the revival was to install glass rails across the front of the house on two levels.  The exterior facade was kept humble in fiber cement siding with ledgestone and black accents to allow all the glass to stand out.  Double entrance doors with full-glass sidelights, sliding glass doors and a glass garage door keeps the story flowing.  

Interior details of interest are the wood paneled ceiling set in the foyer that contrasts the tile floor.  Oak hardwood makes up the rest of the flooring and a staircase with custom oak treads and risers is railed in black metal.  Underneath the stairs that lead to the basement was utilized for a custom wine cellar that is temperature controlled.  The kitchen with traditional cabinetry at the perimeter, contrasts the modern islands; one topped and sided in Strattutorio Quartz and the other custom built out of walnut and set at bar height.  The main bathroom and Primary ensuite are similarly designed using rift-cut white oak for the vanities and gray tiles on floors and with white subway tiles in the showers.  The freestanding tub in the Primary ensuite has a beautiful view of the water from an oversized picture window.  The home is a great example of transitional design with touches of modernity juxtaposed with traditional elements.
