The living room has a pavilion-like feel, featuring a grand piano, upholstered sectional, Eames lounge chair and ottoman, and Isamu Noguchi coffee table, but no visible television.

The home's original butternut paneling in the kitchen inspired new white oak cabinetry for its open plan layout.

Katsura trees, climbing hydrangeas, and basalt stepping stones create a pleasing passageway between the lower back deck and the new garage. “What could have been leftover space, I wanted to be a promenade,” says Andrea.

A black-stained Western red cedar fence now runs along the perimeter of Sharen McLean and Mark Derraugh’s property in Vancouver, part of a complete revamping of the couple’s outdoor space. The project was spearheaded by Sharen’s daughter, Andrea McLean, whose daughters and nephew make the most of the urban oasis.

In the bathroom, blue-gray Heath Ceramic tiles and Linen Brix tiles by Naoto Fukasawa line the shower.

Janette’s designer daughter, Kendra Sosothikul, chose Masters chairs from Design Within Reach and linen sheers from Donghia for the dining area.

The ground level is also outfitted with bunks and concrete flooring. “There’s a casual flow to the spaces,” says Montalba.

Janette’s airy top-floor suite is furnished with a custom bed and night tables from B&B Italia. The Fleetwood sliders on all three levels were trimmed in aluminum to reflect changing light.

A soapstone island contrasts with white oak cabinetry and flooring in the kitchen. The stools are from Palecek.

Expansive sliding doors create a breezy space.

A north-facing skylight above the kitchen maximizes heat absorption, helpful in the cool climate.

In the living area, existing built-in seating is complemented by Mies van der Rohe lounge chairs and custom coffee tables by Michael James Moran.
