Ever heard some say it has good bones?  Well this home had neither good bones or really much good of anything going for it. It needed a major overhaul  - a “ total gut”.  

It’s saving grace was:

1.     It’s enthusiastic new homeowners.  

2.    The expansive and gorgeous views of Okanagan Lake.  

We were asked to assist our clients with big picture planning their newest investment property.

Upon initial walk through of the home, it was immediately event were the many previous ‘bandaid’ type updates the home had gone through over the years.  

This home had multiple dropped Ceilings with layers of Plumbing add ons, wall to wall Carpet, a tired Bathtub directly inside the Master Bedroom, and a dreaded “corner kitchen sink”, and multiple add ons involving 3 confusing front entry doors - this house was in prime need of an overhaul inside and out.

Discovering what was previously done and the quandary of why these things were done - is always so interesting to discover (and can be very overwhelming for clients).  

A big part of what we love most about Design is helping to propose new ideas on how to better address all that has come before in order to revitalize and improve upon - it’s one of the most challenging and rewarding parts of our work.

Our work began in concept planning for optimizing access, interior & exterior flow, renovation strategy on where best to begin.   We the created an ordered implementation sequence which would allow the homeowners to live on one floor while the other was being renovated - and later move to the finished floor and renovate there maining areas, style planning, millwork planning, interior finish selections, and exterior selections.  

Once complete, the home quickly sold for record amount and we look forwards to assisting these happy investors on their next endeavour.
