Arbutus Ridge

Located along Vancouver’s Arbutus Corridor, this full condo renovation was driven by our client’s desire to transform his home into a space that better supported his lifestyle. With a focus on housing and displaying a growing book collection, and an office that doubles as a maker space, the design reimagines each area for both everyday living and hands-on creative pursuits. Additional kitchen storage was achieved through integrated side-wall millwork, while slatted detailing at the entryway skylight introduces pattern and allows light to shift throughout the day.

​

The project explores a rich palette of periwinkle and burgundy, balanced through texture rather than additional color. Fluted cabinetry, clay-based finishes, woven materials, and variegated tiles add depth and tactility, creating a layered environment that feels both current and enduring.

​

Craftsmanship and experimentation underpin the design, reflecting the client’s interest in making and tinkering. Exposed plywood edges, cutout millwork, and thoughtful detailing highlight a sense of process while maintaining a clean, modern framework. We also sourced and procured all furnishings and artwork, ensuring a cohesive and fully realized space.
