Tempe Heights Residence

Design statement

Behind the secret door was the mechanical room, but the entire zoning and planning layout of this home was added onto at three separate times in the last 40 years—sometimes it wasn’t constructed well. With Fifth Element Construction, we were able to correct years of disconnection and unify the spaces again. The inspiration for this full home renovation in North Vancouver, was built around spaces where the entire family was disconnected from television and the internet by focusing on creative play and critical thinking with a holistic approach to living. Wider spaces, edited colour palettes, and a centralized arrangement around the fireplace and mechanical area exceeded the anticipated goals that the family had for their home.

This involved a full kitchen renovation with custom cabinetry, and handy hidden pantry for the chef style kitchen. The bathroom renovations that took advantage of the optimised layout.
