BELOW: The modern kitchen features spectacular walnut
grain lower cabinets and crisp white upper cabinets. A
stainless-steel hood, range, and refrigerator seem to glow in
the space. Luxurious marble backsplashes add a touch of
elegance to the overall design.
FACING PAGE TOP: With an upper and lower deck framed
by glass guard rails, this 5600-square-foot contemporary
North Vancouver home was designed with the view in mind.
Aluminum windows and doors, cedar soffits, and porcelain
tiles decks create stunning contrasts. A concrete pool, hot
tub and cabana house with steam room add to the impressive
feature list. An eight-kilowatt rooftop solar system produces
more power than the home consumes.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: Aluminum accordion doors fold
open to create one large indoor-outdoor living space. The
cool palette reflected in the flooring, wood finishes, and
stainless elements in the kitchen serves to draw the eye to
the incredible views.
