This couple had always wanted to restore a midcentury modern house, and when she saw the photos online, it was all over but the signing.

This green renovation blends midcentury and new-century Modern, preserving almost all of the original structure and layout while dramatically updating the interiors. New life comes from energy efficient lighting and equipment, updated details, and new finishes throughout the house; while the best of the ‘60’s including floating teak cabinets in the baths, dramatic 8’ tall patio sliding doors, and beautiful teak, cedar and walnut remain.

Structural and mechanical upgrades, insulation, and a new roof bring the house up to current code and energy standards, while recycling the old house - which had been sold as a teardown - conserved materials and saved a bit of ‘60’s modern West Vancouver.
