This classic post and beam home got an epic overhaul, from dark and heavy to bright and fresh. The owners were looking for a cozy home-base for their mountain adventures in the Whistler area, and this home absolutely delivered. The updated palette is fresh and clean, and the layout fosters the gathering of family and friends.

This custom home, currently under construction, is built high on the hill in West Vancouver with panoramic views of the Pacific ocean. The palette is soft and warm, and by focusing on natural materials, the connection to the outdoors is greatly emphasized. Every room exudes a casual elegance inherent to the site's west coast location.

This client's 'must-have' list included a chairlift as an entry bench, a billiard table in the 'dining room' and a wall blasted out to better connect the kitchen to the rest of the living space. From the double-sided fireplace to the moody powder room, every detail exudes the client's fun and vibrant personality and love of entertaining. Because they have two young dogs, heated tile floor was installed throughout, and upholstery was chosen with clean-ability in mind.

Nestled in the woods on the sloped shores of the Mamquam River, this house was designed with privacy and tranquility in mind. The owners, who work from home, wanted an office space that felt connected to both the main living areas and the beautiful surroundings. A 3-sided courtyard achieves this, while a west-coast interior palette of natural wood textures, heated concrete floors, and sliding glass walls ensures a similar connection to nature for the rest of the house. The separation between private and public spaces also makes the house perfect for entertaining guests, whether for an evening or a week-end.

After a devastating fire in the Spring of 2018, the owner's of Squamish's beloved Fergie's Cafe (part of Sunwolf Resort), heard the community's cries, and rebuilt a new (and stunning!) cafe on the same site as the original.
Designed in collaboration with Chris Hunter of Hunter Office Architecture, the new building features an upper level bar and patio with indoor/outdoor seating, including a 15 seat exterior bar overlooking Alpha Mountain. Below is an open-air dining room, complete with a cozy fireplace and a great mix of communal, lounge and small-table seating to suit groups of every size. Pops of the original ‘Fergie’s blue’ can be seen throughout, on a back-drop of white-washed birch and black stained cedar.
Every foodie knows that a visit to Squamish would be incomplete without brunch at Fergie’s Cafe.
After years of enjoying their eggs bennie on the patio (rain or shine!) guests can now relax in the newly added dining annex. Located within a flood-plain, where no new permanent construction was allowed, the new space had to be portable - a unique design dilemma to be sure! The result is a 40’ flatbed trailer topped with a warm and luxurious cabin, boasting a wood burning stove and views of the coastal mountains, that can be relocated at will.
Situated in the beautiful Squamish valley at the confluence of the Cheekye and Cheakamus Rivers, Fergie’s Cafe is part of Sunwolf Riverside Resort.
For this active work-from-home couple, a separation between the work place and the home base was a must. Cozy and textured furnishings juxtapose the smooth, understated natural finishes throughout and the expansive sliding doors by architect Adam Schell facilitate the home owners’ frequent indoor/outdoor dinner parties. The gallery white interior walls accentuate the warmth of the walnut woodwork and heated concrete floors, while providing the perfect back-drop for their growing art collection.
