W 45 Avenue – Full Home Renovation Vancouver
A stunning example of West Coast modern architecture designed by Fred Dalla-Lana, our team was in charge of working with the architect to complete a full home renovation in Vancouver. West 45 won architectural awards and editorial recognition during the 1970s. Updating this one-of-a-kind home took special care and attention. We worked to preserve the stunning architecture while modernizing the house to create a family-oriented space that captures the cabin-in-the-woods concept that inspired the original build.
No expense was spared to restore this masterpiece to its former glory. We relied on natural materials, working closely with owners to bring their vision to life in a step-by-step process that accounted for all necessary permits and bylaws. To enhance the flow between indoor/outdoor living spaces, the use of natural light is maximized through the installation of energy-efficient skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows. We restored the spectacular roof deck, complete with an outdoor kitchen, to maximize the surrounding views. Finishes and state-of-the-art appliances seamlessly complemented the stunning beauty of this character home, adding a new dimension of luxury and comfort to a masterpiece of modern architecture.
