Contemporary Kitchen, Vancouver

The client hired our firm to help with the layout of the new home and bring some suggestions based on the beauty and functionality that they wanted to achieve. So we worked very closely with the drafting company to achieve the desired look and layout. We were ask to help select all the materials ( flooring, plumbing, lighting, kitchen and cabinet designs as well closet planning, paint plan, window treatment, solar blinds, and all custom part like like the kitchen metal vent and bar area corrugated. We also bought and selected most of the new furniture for the client and integrated existing artwork so it would be featured very well. We created a kitchen library for the numerous cookbooks that the clients has been collecting for decades, actually the kitchen was built around the books. A second working kitchen with sliding pantry was planned so items and prep work could be hidden for the main open space kitchen. A very large mud room was designed to accommodate the 4 season needs with different storing options. The client wanted a fresh modern, industrial look the the house with an airy beachy feel since it overlooks a gigantic lake. All rooms were designed to let the outside feel inside with big windows and white walls. Custom made hardware in the kitchen bring a lived in look and cabinets that are designed with a special custom profile. The use of shiplap in the laundry room, powder room living room and dining room and lower floor living room are to give texture and feel to the house.
