Edgemont

Steps from the mountain village of Edgemont, Forest Haven stands out against its evergreen backdrop.

This project was a renovation of exterior plus an addition to the original 1950’s home. We worked with the client to create a mix of relaxed and refined space. A large open main entrance, with old world tiles, now flank the wrap around garden terrace. The lower level was converted into media and sports rooms and a social path to the pool. A lower level entrance was added that created a completely self-contained nanny/in-law suite. Throughout we used the owner’s private collection of fabulous art. The result was a warm and bold residence tailored for enjoying life.

Whistler Griz

Nestled in the foothills of Whistler Blackcomb, this contemporary west coast new build blends well in the neighbourhood and cosmopolitan ski resort town. We worked closely with, the clients, and architect John Medland, known for his contemporary timber homes; plus local famed builders Tom Brophy and Jacquie Reck to create a mountain modern retreat. Our design goal was creating a beautiful interior, and with having the complete trust of the clients, our design team delivered a unique and thoughtful space. Inspired by skiers’ outfits making a contrast with the white snow and mountain view. We highlighted the use of colour to juxtaposition against the natural materials of wood, stone, and light. The custom furnishings, rustic wall covering, distinctive lighting, exceptional artwork make this the perfect recreational place to entertain and relax.

UBC

Sometimes we are asked to just bring life back to an environment that seems to have just fallen asleep. For Interiors Defined projects are not measured on how large or small, or grande or simple. We measure on what is important to our clients and work creatively, diligently, and with the budgets determined to create spaces our owners will be proud of. Our clients are paramount to us, and their needs be it what we call a lipstick project; lipstick = needs be revived or a full renovation; we take both style of project with equal importance. This project in Westbrook Village on the UBC peninsula is a beautiful condominium and townhome complex. Nestled in historical endowment lands of large coniferous trees this lobby just asked for attention. We embraced this project by using the natural wood and greenery colours in the new seating and custom-made focal point pendant lighting. The space is used not only for residents to meet and chat but also by the many young children that enjoy climbing and playing on the artful furnishings.

Mod BnB

This playful suite is really part of a much larger home and originally designed as an oasis for teens or others to chill in their own space. The unit is attached to the house but also able to be separate. Not likely to be identified in an area known for it’s great outdoors and expansive skiing, this pied-a-terre has a retro and new fun energy aesthetics and even boasts an patio deck overlooking the evergreens and mountain view. The bunkie was created in collaboration with a craftsman well known for his work on elaborate yachts. The functional steps yet roguish spirt allows for guests to sleep in style. This space was a good nature affirmation to using colour with flavour, down to the custom painted stripe walls, the elaborate galley kitchen, and sans colour mid-century womb chair. Worth the visit just for the space, and the big bonus to be in the fabulous mountains full of wilderness activities.
