I N T E R I O R D E S I G N 78 ABOVE: Before the renovation, the kitchen was entirely cut off from views of the water. Now, the front part of the kitchen, complete with a granite countertop and bar seating, adds to the open, social feel of the home. Around the corner, a butler's kitchen provides more cooking space for caterers during parties. RIGHT: The round home's cantilevered entryway greets guests upon arrival. Built without posts, the entry required creativity on the part of a structural engineer and high-quality materials to pull off. FACING PAGE TOP: In a more traditional home, black and white Vancouver Island marble graces the renovated vestibule. The local material serves as an example of luxurious eco- friendly design, and was intentionally selected for the couple who hosts fundraising events for investors and environmental causes. FACING PAGE BOTTOM: An L-shaped home features a solar- heated pool that serves not only as an entertainment space for the family's children but also as a reflecting pool. Edged in West Coast Wave Vancouver Island marble, the pool is taller than the surrounding patio, providing seating like reflecting pools in public spaces.
