East 3rd Avenue Residence
 

This project is an extensive renovation to an existing circa 1973 “Vancouver Special”. The renovation primarily made changes to the interior including a new kitchen and bathroom, a new one-bedroom basement suite, and new doors and windows. Part of the floor-plate was removed to create a soaring double height space with access to the rear garden.

Unfortunately we were unable to save the intricate brick façade of the original house; the skillful new black façade treatment and landscape are by the owners.

The house was opened up to the public for the 2011 Vancouver Special Homes Tour sponsored by the Vancouver Heritage Foundation.
