Geary House
To celebrate this heritage home in Vancouver’s West End, we committed to honouring the historical significance of the Colonial Revival / Edwardian style throughout the course of this careful renovation. Working closely with project partners to protect the original integrity of the home, we focused on improving the efficiency of the space while preserving as many of the remarkable features and details as possible.
Bespoke Details
After thorough consultation and planning, our renovation of this gorgeous heritage home is complete. We removed the existing apartment on the attic floor and added two bathrooms to the second floor, converting the house back to a single-family dwelling. To add an office and allow for better use of the basement space, we dug down two feet to create a nine-foot ceiling and added a walk-out to a private backyard sitting area. We added a courtyard to frame the ample front yard—an idyllic space to enjoy al fresco cocktails from the covered porch. Modifications to the existing hipped roof preserved the original features while increasing the size of the dormers to extend the attic’s ceiling height. We meticulously preserved all original custom woodwork, such as the dentil coursing and knee braces, and reused them for the exterior construction.
