House at a Glance
Who lives here: A couple
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia
Size: 1,250 square feet (116 square meters); two bedrooms, 1½ bathrooms
Designer: Top Shelf Design
The home occupies the back half of a duplex. “Our clients recently had given their backyard a makeover,” Gallop says. “They wanted to be able to view it and to create stronger connections to it from inside.”
To get a good sense of their clients’ style, the designers had them share Houzz ideabooks full of spaces they liked, along with comments. Then they dug in and asked about the specific aspects they liked about each photo. “We could see they liked a clean and bright, minimalist look,” Gallop says.
Space planning was of the utmost importance. “This home had a modest footprint, so it was really important that we make the most of every inch,” Judd says.
