From Falken Reynolds Interiors

After relocating to Victoria, an Edmonton family of five found their dream location on Cadboro Bay. Our clients wanted to bring as much of the beach in, by maximizing sight lines and using driftwood tones which also wouldn’t compete with their art collection.

Given their passion for Canadian artists and craftspeople, they valued materials and items that would tell a local story. They also needed the home to be effortless, meaning durable surfaces and no tile grout to scrub.
