CHARACTER STUDY

uilt in the early 1900s, this West Vancouver gem is a characterhome lover’s dream. It’s one of those rare dwellings that still has its original exposed brick walls, wood floors and leaded windows, some with stained glass. “Obviously, we wanted to emphasize these heritage elements, not relegate them to the background,” says designer Sarah Marie Lackey. “But we wanted the house in which these homeowners had raised their now-grown family to assume a fresher, more contemporary, uncluttered look.” She also wanted to base any changes on how the homeowners live.
