LIONSBAY RENOVATION

Renovation Done Right.

Lionsbay Home

This Lions Bay home was one of our favourite home renovations. It incorporated high end products and modern design while getting to enjoy the stunning views. We installed all new windows, siding, entrance way, decks on the exterior and added a suite with new flooring, kitchen and bathroom.

KITCHEN

Thanks to Lepik Design for this very sleek and masculine kitchen. The large format tile on the floor and a waterfall effect with grey quartz by Firstone for the countertop, gives the kitchen nice flow. Instead of using tile for a backsplash, we continued the countertop all the way up to the cabinets a modern feel and easy cleaning. The matte black cabinets use minimal hardware drawing your eye to the linear lines of the drawers and upper cabinets, which works really well with the natural wood framing above. Thanks to Innotech windows for the large 6’x6′ frames that can swivel open to the nature outside.

Front Entrance

Can you see the entry door? Vertical pine wraps the whole entry area and disguises the door where only the handle gives it away. We used nine pieces of dimensional lumber and rotated them on an angle to allow you to see the view when entering but gives privacy to the neighbours.

Interior/exterior Space

This amazing sliding door from Innotech windows lift and slides with ease but is huge and size and allows for views all the way to the Sunshine Coast. We poured a brand new concrete slab for the exterior deck and Marquis Glass installed a beautiful seamless glass railing that makes for amazing sunsets and entertaining in the summer.

WET BAR

This modern wet bar by Lepik Design features an ice box, hardly noticeable hidden drawers, and pull out drawers built into the wall above for wine, glassware, or anything else you can think of to make delicious drinks. The thin metal shelves made by Jamfab Manufacturing are a really cool feature that are strong enough to hold anything, but take up very little of the wall, adding to the modern design of the wet bar.

EXTERIOR

We gave the exterior of the house a complete overhaul, installing all new windows by Innotech Windows and cedar siding to mimic Japanese Shou Shugi Ban charred wood. Fisher Coatings runs the cedar through a machine that uses steel bristles which really brings out the grain in the cedar then stains it black. We alternated the siding randomly between 1×4 and 1×6 to give it texture. When the sun hits it on an angle, you can see all the contours or the wood which looks amazing. You can also see the contrast of the black siding and natural pine in the entry, which gives this home a warm but very modern feel.

Dining Area

Most of this space is original to the house. The cedar siding, beams, and original fir flooring is quite unique so we wanted to keep that feel within the home. Fresh paint on the walls and trim by CTE Painting combined with a modern chandelier by Design Lighting, is all that was really needed to make this space.
