The Lighter Side of the Kitchen

The great debate in real estate often comes down to the “can I live with it?” question. Buyers look at a home that may not be set out the way they’d dreamed, but they can envision “living with it” for the time being – at least, until they can afford to change it. This is the way this North Vancouver family has approached their home, a beautiful space enveloped by trees and with enough room to fit them comfortably for a few years. Working through one space at a time, the family has slowly been approaching their ideal, but still needed more from the main floor. Now they sought to create the entertaining space they’d always desired, calling in CCI Renovations to add a modern touch to their kitchen, great room and partial dining room. Carried out over five months, the work didn’t change the square footage, but did reinterpret the space to create more room, as well as
developing an entirely new look for the space. Already a favourite on the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association’s Parade of Renovated Homes, CCI plans to enter the project into the Georgie Awards later this year.

Renovating From the Inside Out

Sometimes, a dream home is not the one that lasts forever - it is the home that allows homeowners to change with their needs, wants and even the rest of the neighborhood. Such was the case with this Calgary home, built in 1960 as a 1,300-square-foot bungalow ...

New Home, Blank Slate

When building a home from the ground up, it’s not necessarily simple to envision what may go inside. Staring into the deep hole of the foundation, the last thing on most homeowners’ minds is the placement of the bathtub or the type of flooring that will eventually lie underfoot. Fortunately ...
