A Modern Vibe with a Nod to Timeless Elegance
Transforming Historic Charm into Contemporary Luxury
This major townhouse renovation combines modern design with the beauty of its historical roots. Expansive windows flood the space with natural light, while sleek finishes and thoughtful updates create a home that is both stylish and inviting.
About
This 1980s, 1,100-square-foot, three-storey townhouse with solid bones underwent a complete transformation, thanks to the expert hands of the Averra Developments team.
The renovation project embraced an open layout, introducing a West Coast industrial modern vibe that marries clean lines with the warmth of natural materials. SHIFT Interiors, led by Jamie Deck, designed the ideal space for both entertaining guests and enjoying peaceful days and nights with breathtaking views of the city and mountains.
On the main floor, the layout was reimagined to feature a larger, more inviting living room and a highly functional kitchen. The kitchen is complemented by a built-in natural wood dining table, perfect for hosting family and friends. The open plan allows for seamless flow between cooking, dining, and relaxing, making it the heart of the home.
The upper loft floor was transformed into a luxurious master suite, complete with a serene ensuite bathroom and sliding wall panels that offer privacy while maintaining the openness of the space. The highlight of the master suite is the panoramic view of the city skyline and majestic mountains, bringing the beauty of the outdoors inside.
Throughout the home, real brick veneer was used to tie the spaces together, adding a rich texture that amplifies the industrial modern aesthetic. The choice of bold yet simple furniture pieces provides contrast, ensuring the home feels both stylish and cozy. Custom, clean, and functional millwork was integrated across all levels, offering practical storage solutions and contributing to the sleek, minimalist design.
This 2016 project, with a budget of $200,001 to $500,000, successfully blends contemporary industrial style with the comforts of modern living, offering an urban sanctuary with stunning views and a thoughtfully designed interior.
