Elegant & Sophisticated Renovation, Design & Décor
Yaletown Sub Penthouse Pied-à-terre
Featured in: Style At Home
Big city charm meets vintage inspired luxury of Hermes & Dior. The perfect pied-à-terre for entertaining friends and family.
Objective: To transform an incredibly dated apartment into a luxurious vacation home.
The Space: 1600 SQ FT apartment built in the 1990’s overlooking the water in Yaletown that had a chopped up layout included a hideous corner fireplace which obstructed the water view.
Project: 1700 SQ FT Complete overhaul renovation and décor. We tore everything out and started from scratch. Removing a central wall to allow more open flow from the living room to the kitchen and dining. Kitchen design and re-design of 2 bathrooms, 1 powder room, 3 bedrooms and den.
Inspiration: Vintage Hollywood regency meets contemporary chic. We wanted this to feel as though it was an apartment in Manhattan. Vancouver grey on greige is so over done and we wanted a space that felt more curated and refined.
The Client: This globe trotting couple in their lat wanted to have a chic Vancouver apartment that would serve as a great spot for family vacations and double as a chic uptown space for hosting out of town friends. Refined yet approachable, this apartment beautifully balances the double duty nature of their needs.
