Gastown Penthouse

• Renovation

A lot of clients that come to us are couples, which means two different opinions and often two very different styles. The good news is, this is a great opportunity to push the design in an exciting direction for everyone.

This was exactly the case with this penthouse in Gastown, the owners (our Creative Director and his husband) had completely different styles: one wanted a treasure trove of maximalism, curios and visual adventure, while the other wanted a calm, quiet refuge to escape to at the end of a busy day. This home is the marriage of those two ideas, with moments of pop (poutine artwork, a terracotta warrior statue, a chartreuse wingback chair) and moments of zen (an all-concrete clad master bath, a neutral as Switzerland kitchen, pared-back eclectic furniture from their travels and a beyond comfortable, oversized blue sofa).

Joshua Tree wallpaper at the entrance (taken from a photograph from their trip) is a reminder that every inch of a home is an opportunity to tell a story about the people who live there.
