Los Lenas
Whistler, BC
Tucked away on a hill in Whistler BC, you will find this original log cabin that exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere, offering many cozy nooks for the family to unwind.
We worked with the existing structure and brought it up to date by blowing out the living room exterior walls and installing windows so vast they frame the expansive forest views. The towering river rock overmantle and log posts nod to the homes history while the addition of wall paneling, contemporary lighting and soft furnishings breath new life into the vacation home.

West Van Treehouse
West Vancouver
This 1960s mid-century modern home needed a fresh, practical upgrade that improved the space’s flow without sacrificing its minimal design and gorgeous build. Nestled between a West Vancouver forest, we redid the years of renovations to expose the stunning natural beauty of the original space, revealing a modern oasis tucked away in nature.
The entire house is surrounded by old growth trees, including one that grows out of the back patio, giving this home a magical “treehouse” feel. Rather than strip away the home’s more dated features, we tidied them up, opened up any closed-off areas, and added new features where needed.
We relocated the primary suite to the main level and added new state-of-the-art heating and cooling systems. The striking rock fireplace in the living room is another original feature we kept, wanting to maintain the home’s connection to nature.
Downstairs, a new floating staircase and hallway divided by a glass door expands the area without any creating any visual blocks. A cozy reading nook set against a backdrop of lush greenery instantly adds to the treehouse ambience, ensuring the home remains at one with the surrounding natural landscape.
