The owners were downsizing, but they wanted the new home to feel completely their own. The original three-bedroom condo was stripped back and rethought from scratch.

Within the limits of the strata, the renovation became a fully custom rebuild, including a twenty-one-foot feature wall and slatted detailing around the skylight.

At the base of the stairs, a commissioned carving by a Kwakwaka'wakw artist Rande Cook became one of the anchors of the home and helped shape the space around it.
