Grand Kitchen Reno

Styled after a Shaker Revival/Transitional aesthetic, this striking new kitchen appropriately belongs to a condo in a landmark building designed by James K.M. Cheng Architects in the Coal Harbour area of downtown Vancouver. The “Vancouverism” architectural style stemmed from the types of buildings designed by Cheng; one of the aims is to “preserve corridors” as the city’s downtown skyline (a popular nickname is City of Glass) is notable for the multitude of glass skyscrapers and is a source of pride for locals. The Shaker Revival interior marries well to the soaring building. Use of the principles elements of the style including: functionality, simplicity and use of dark, rich colours along side handcrafted furniture and natural materials has created a stunning, awe-inspiring room of grandiose beauty.

Exquisite Expansion

Sep 03, 2009 by Merit Kitchens

Certainly the busiest place in home for this family; used multiple times for many uses daily, it also saw up to 10 cooks at a time on a weekly basis. The new design was not only a complete update of dated components and finishes, the space was greatly increased to accommodate two island workstations, plentiful storage and even a sunny eating nook.

A Kitchen Makes the Home

Jun 08, 2009 by Merit Kitchens

After 12 years, the family of this comfortable West coast contemporary home in Gordon Head decided to renovate their kitchen and bathrooms. The large 4500 sq ft house had an extremely generous eat-in kitchen with a walk out deck, but unfortunately, it was particularly awkward and ugly. Stripping the entire old kitchen to build it in a new design would transform the room into a place that was a pleasure to be in — full of light, space, and gorgeous garden views.
