Canadian interior studio partner with to shape an oceanfront site into a family’s ‘dream home’.
We were first introduced to through their light and bright cabin on . This snow home called on a distinctly Nordic style – a common thread in all of Sophie Burke Design’s work.
Situated on Vancouver’s prestigious coastline is the studio’s latest project; a Point Grey Road family home, in collaboration with architecture firm . The home was designed for a creative and energetic couple and their kids, across the road from the beach with views of Vancouver mountains beyond. Asked to design the family’s dream home, SBD and Airey Group have delivered, through a well-crafted, spacious and relaxed interior.
Together SBD and Airey Group optimised all spaces to the Vancouver mountains and waterfront vistas. The private areas were placed on the ground floor, while the shared spaces on the top floor serve indoor/outdoor entertaining, with the option to welcome a sea breeze.
The interior’s consistent flow relied on juxtaposition. SBD based the home around a contrasting muted palette where white walls and millwork were punctuated by black-stained wooden windows and doors, lined with ebony-stained oak. Aside from these elements, all other trim work and detail were deliberately eliminated. Classic black lighting fixtures, bathroom and kitchen fittings on white quartzite counters also add to the dramatic monochrome accents.
SBD selected natural materials with an organic finish to heighten the home’s connection to the outdoors. This approach was revealed through the highly textured sisal rugs, wire-brushed white oak flooring, leather cabinet pulls, linen drapery and painted shiplap cladding.
Crowning each space is a strong emphasis on renowned design objects. In the master bedroom lies the ever-refined Gervasoni Ghost Bed 80E and Around Coffee Table by Muuto. In the open plan living area, the Hiroshima chair by Maruni sits up at the dining table, with the Nerd Stool by Muuto at the kitchen bench. Other design highlights include the .
Principally, the home is a highly tailored hub for a busy family and provides a space where they can enjoy the close proximity of their picturesque surrounds – be it inside or out.
