Kings

West Vancouver

Our clients wanted to give their family home a timeless style upgrade while maintaining a sense of privacy. We transformed this home from its original dark and dated past to a bright, modern and elegant space full of charm. 

In the kitchen, a Cambria stone feature wall adds contemporary glamour, featuring a white lightning strike that dramatizes its black quartz surface and creates a chic and high-contrast design. The custom doors are made of stained oak to seamlessly blend in with the rest of the kitchen cabinetry. 

In the adjoining living room, artwork by local artist Krista Johnson brings colour into the space and complements the blue Roche Bobois stools. To achieve the desired privacy, we utilized innovative technology that allows you to adjust the transparency of the windows through a switch. 

Similarly, a custom desk area with retractable millwork helps hide the homeowner’s office space when needed. The final home is a vibrant space with thoughtful and practical elements at every corner.

The Morrison

North Vancouver

For the design of this stunning residential development in North Vancouver, we pulled inspiration from New York City’s dreamy brownstones. We kept things minimalistic and bright, leveraging the newer neighbourhood’s natural light and utilizing clean lines throughout each luxury townhouse. Every unit feels like a Manhattan oasis, with cozy courtyards and a warm, inviting interior.

Secret Sapphire

Secret Sapphire is a luxury jewelry boutique that prides itself on individual customer service. The boutique needed to have a luxury atmosphere, but also feel fun, bold, and playful. 

We incorporated custom millwork, display cases and high-end custom lighting throughout. Vintage furniture completes the space, giving it the desired luxury vibe in a cheerful and inviting way.

Secret Sapphire is another example of the successful collaboration between AK Design and Klondike Construction.

Jones

New Westminster, BC

Located in historical New Westminster, our challenge was finding a way to brighten and modernize this 1990s family home while preserving the integrity and charm of the original build.

We set out to balance the heritage architecture with playful contemporary elements, through art, colour, and pattern. The new materials feature classic details with a modern edge, such as the Mirage Hula Hoop flooring and custom cabinetry painted in Balboa Mist by Sherwin Williams in the kitchen. 

Adjacent to the kitchen island sits a key feature within the space: the new custom coffee station complete with retractable doors to hide clutter.

TEDx CONCOURSE

Vancouver

For the design of the TEDx Concourse in Vancouver, we worked with the developers to create a fun, inspiring space for guests to recharge and connect in between sessions. With TEDx being a brain-heavy event, we wanted to design a stylish and inviting lounge area outfitted for a DJ, live music and plenty of seating for easy-going networking. 

The space resembles a local fashion music boutique, perfect for Vancouver’s creatives to unwind and soak in the uplifting atmosphere.

Haywood

West Vancouver

The clients—a family of four—wanted a space they felt excited to come home to. As busy executives with children, this West Vancouver home needed to be sophisticated yet inviting. It also had to be comfortable enough for the family to feel truly relaxed at the end of the day.

The home features contemporary and traditional design elements, from the marble countertops and hardwood floors to the soft colour scheme and layered patterns throughout. Sprawling windows and sliding doors offer plenty of natural light, and also let the clients enjoy their spectacular view of the Burrard Inlet.

In the dining room, a gorgeous light fixture by Moooi sourced from Ocean Pacific Lighting makes a statement while still feeling integrated and understated.

Holland

Vancouver

For the renovation of this family home in Vancouver, the clients—a young couple—wanted a dream home perfect for celebrating this new chapter in their lives. The home needed more space to account for their growing family, so we added bedrooms and created a unique layout that would allow for more light.

This project was proudly awarded the 2022 Havan Award for “Best Renovation: $700,000 – $1 Million”

Joe's Apartment

Vancouver

This fun Vancouver nightclub needed a look that was vibrant and stylish without being too cheesy. In collaboration with Klondike construction we added a red brick veneer aesthetic and paired it with glimmering chandeliers for a bit of a twist. Hanging records add a playful and creative touch to this musical space, giving it a laid-back “house-party” atmosphere with a hint of glamour.
