Originally built in the 1970s, this cliffside house in North Vancouver was in need of an improvement and update. The owners, both visually-minded artistic directors at gaming companies, embarked on a multi-stage renovation that added a sharp modern aesthetic with clean surfaces and volumes. The kitchen was originally a half-level down, creating a dip in between the dining room and adjacent patio. With the kitchen and outdoor area raised to the same level, movement is now smooth and continuous.
