Perched on a cliff with 180-degree views of Vancouver’s Indian Arm, the location of this home is second to none. Inside, a previous renovation (sometime in the heyday of the “crown moldings and orange pine” 1990s) had covered up a lot of the home’s original charm and character. Taking inspiration from the ’70s when the house was first built, we leaned into that decade and how it might blend with the homeowner’s Japanese heritage, as well as the site’s West Coast surroundings. What followed was part restoration, part exploration—a process that led us to a new home that feels uniquely special and personal to the family who first spied its true potential.
This house takes mid-century modern to a whole other level. This is SO COOL and I love that the new design mimics much of what was there before (I had to include a couple before photos) but making it 100 times better. The living room with those curved windows (and epic views), and the new sofa fit around them with the modernized floating fireplace is to die for. Deep Cove designed by Plaid Fox.

This home was recently built with incredible views of the Vermont mountains and Sheila Bridges designed it with the outdoors in mind, with beautiful colours and some very à propos wallpapers used in many spaces, all of which depict flora and/or fauna. I love the concept of bringing nature indoors like that, subtle but not so once you catch on :). Photos: Frank Frances.
