Why renovate a condo ?
Our diverse condo renovation portfolio showcases how we maximise our client’s investment in their condo, co-op or townhouse. We improve not only functional elements of a space like storage, we also provide improvements to the circulation and flow of a space through the choices of furniture down to .
It must be said that older condo properties have more space than new condo projects. A recent Globe & Mail article highlights the difference in the average square footage of condo units in both Vancouver and Toronto that were built in different eras over the past 40 years. A staggering 15- 35% difference in fact. It touches upon the questions people are asking in this market. Urban living comes with different aspects compared to suburban living.
Maximising space and storage is our zone of genius. When there are opportunities in renovating an existing condo with 20% more space than an average new build, this just gives us more to work with.

Opportunity & Value
What opportunities are you looking for: is what we ask each condo homeowner at the onset of a project as each site will be unique. Each condo unit will be unique and it is worth investigating all aspects of the unit before starting the design of a project. We believe in making smart investments in space efficient furnishings, multipurpose features, custom cabinetry and improved layouts. There are also more choices available now with regards to quality tested materials, improved indoor air quality, energy-efficient appliances, high-quality LED lighting, and water-conserving plumbing fixtures.
Custom cabinetry can add long lasting value to a condo. As stock cabinetry from a local big box store will increase the dead space that is not being utilised as it is a one size fits all type of solution designed for detached homes.
Not only do we know how to maximise small kitchens and bathrooms we know what is needed to improve all aspects of living in small spaces like condos. As a professional NCIDQ Interior Designer and Certified Master Kitchen + Bath Designer we understand how spaces with built in cabinetry can flow better and the building code requirements needed for your type of project in the municipality of Vancouver and across Canada.

Wrapping around most of the shoreline of the city is our 28 km long seawall. Whether you are walking or cycling there is a place for you to enjoy the water views. It connects so many municipal neighbourhoods together.
