This spacious apartment in downtown Vancouver’s picturesque Coal Harbour was customized to serve as a multi-generational gathering space. With extended family members who work and travel around the world, the flat is fitted with all the transitional conveniences of a luxury hotel, as well as the comfort of returning home. Haeccity Studio’s role included full architectural and interior design services, staging, and furniture design.
The 2,150 square-foot apartment originally felt much smaller given a fragmented layout and jarring material palette. Strong, simple gestures resulted in a revised layout that opened up the living area while reconnecting the space with breath-taking views of the mountains, ocean and the cityscape.
A restrained palette of light oak floors, walnut, and copper accents, as well as a hand-finished plaster “service bar” creates a serene living space for the client’s growing family.
The linear plan flows fluidly from one space to the next while carving out a variety of intimate niches. Private spaces are flexible but convey unique expressions of each family member’s respective personality.
Haeccity commissioned Canadian industrial designer Ko Júbilo to design the circular dining table, constructed from solid walnut with flush quartz lazy susan, providing a sense of permanence and playfulness.
