A monolithic natural stone island anchors the kitchen as a statement element with a grounding presence. Cabinetry dissolves into the architecture of the home, while warm wood elements create continuity across surfaces and spaces, tying the material palette into a seamless, cohesive whole.

A throwback to this 2006 residence - from 20 years ago!
Inspired by the classic ski chalet form, the design features steeply pitched rooflines and an exposed timber structural system. A refined palette of clean, knotless wood tempers the rustic typology, while strategically placed skylights introduce generous daylight, reinforcing the volume and spatial clarity of the interior.

Framed by forest. Grounded in stone.
This mountain retreat is designed as a quiet dialogue between architecture and landscape — warm wood and dark metal volumes set against pale masonry, deep overhangs for shelter, and expansive glazing that pulls the evergreens inside.

Honing the material palette for a West Vancouver home.
Behind every finished space is a shared table, thoughtful discussion, and countless material pairings. Our designers work closely together to ensure each palette feels cohesive, intentional, and aligned with the client’s vision, because the right materials don’t just look good, they feel right.

Even the smallest room in the house deserves thoughtful attention. In fact, the limited footprint of a powder room can create the perfect opportunity for audacious design choices - color drenching, bold patterns, or unique lighting and fixtures.
Because it requires far less commitment and coordination than larger spaces, the powder room becomes an ideal place to introduce an unexpected moment of personality. The space can be expressive without overwhelming the home as a whole.
Which one is your favourite?

This home utilizes a mix of Corten steel, stone, and cedar cladding to complement the natural forest setting. The warm tones of Corten add depth, while the neutral stone grounds the design, creating a home that feels timeless and part of its environment. The cedar cladding softens the overall composition and enhances the home’s connection to the surrounding landscape.
