These homeowners appreciated the traditional architectural style of their hometown of St. John’s, a centuries-old city on Newfoundland island, in Canada’s easternmost province of Newfoundland and Labrador. But they had lived for years in Vancouver, British Columbia, where they had grown to love the more streamlined style of Canada’s west coast. After they returned to St. John’s and were ready to remodel their home there, they sought out North Vancouver designer Lori Steeves, whom they knew through family and friends. Steeves visited their home at the start of the project and then worked with them remotely.
“They had loved their time in Vancouver and really connected to a lot of the more streamlined design style there,” Steeves says. “They were keen to have some west coast influence in the new design for their home.” The wife also adored the gardens surrounding the house and wanted them to play a central role in the design. She hoped to highlight views and bring the outdoors in through color and pattern. Steeves responded with a transitional approach that blends colorful, traditional Newfoundland elements with neutral, streamlined Vancouver influences and nature-inspired details.
