Custom Home & Renovation Projects Vancouver
Every project on this page started with a conversation and ended with a home someone is proud to live in. Browse our work — Custom Homes, Home Renovations, Heritage Home Renovations, Home Additions, and more — each one designed and built by the same team, start to finish.
The Point Grey Home
A 1920s character home in West Point Grey — renovated with rare completeness. A 600 sq ft rear addition, a new upper-floor bedroom, a laneway house, and an interior reimagined around light, warmth, and a lifelong love of books. The street still reads as a 1920s character home. Step inside and a confident contemporary home reveals itself.
Condo Renovation West Point Grey
A full condo renovation in West Point Grey, designed by ri inc and built by Kerr Design Build. Wide-plank white oak floors and custom rift-cut oak millwork run through every room, from the kitchen with its waterfall island and fluted glass cabinets to a built-in home office. A ribbed-tile fireplace anchors the living space, and the primary ensuite offers a spa-like retreat with a freestanding soaker tub.
The Burnaby Farmhouse
A small single-level home, outgrown by a family of four. We took off the roof, added a 1,429 sq ft upper floor, and stripped the main level back to the studs. Now a glass staircase connects all three levels, the kitchen, dining and living room share one bright space, and French doors open straight onto the deck. Same address, a whole new way of living.
North Vancouver Craftsman Renovation
A whole-home renovation of a 1920s Craftsman in North Vancouver, reimagined for a busy family of four. The kitchen now opens directly into the living room, a new upper-floor primary suite and balcony sit quietly within the original roofline, and details like relocated Douglas fir doors and hidden stair storage keep the home’s character intact. Designed by Steven and Nisha, Kerr Design Build.
Urban Harmony
A brand-new luxury townhome in Olympic Village that lived beautifully on paper — but didn’t work in practice. Designer Leo Chester solved it with one decisive move: an L-shaped stone-clad island that merged kitchen and dining into a single sculptural form, unlocking the entire floor plan. Georgie Awards Finalist, Best Condo Residential Renovation.
The Waterfront Residence
A three-storey custom home on the north shore of Burrard Inlet — designed to rise with the drama of a 34% waterfront slope. A vaulted main living level, sail-inspired roofline, full-height glazed courtyard, and a glass elevator within a sculptural stair. Currently in design development with designer Leo Chester.
The Kitsilano Multi-Generational Home
A family home that needed to work for three generations, not one. The homeowners’ daughter and her family moved into a reimagined main floor, while her parents downsized into a bright, legal basement suite — independent homes connected by a single staircase. A renovation built around how families actually live together.
West Vancouver Home Renovation
A rancher transformed into modern Zen living for a family finally returning home after years of renting the property out from overseas. A new second-storey addition and open-concept great room bring the kitchen, dining, and living spaces together with direct backyard access, while a relocated staircase under skylights and a vaulted ceiling connects the new upper floor. Warm wood tones, natural stone, and light tile carry a clean, contemporary palette through a home that still wears its traditional exterior outside. Design by Nisha MacNeil and Jaycie Dotin, Kerr Design Build.
The Ucluelet Residence
An oceanfront custom home on one of Vancouver Island’s most spectacular and demanding coastal sites — designed for a couple with two rental suites, a dramatic footbridge entry, a gull-wing cedar roof, and covered decks built for BC’s rainiest corner. Every constraint of the site became the architecture. Currently in design development with designer Leo Chester.
The Kerrisdale Home
An eight-month, full home transformation in Kerrisdale, completed on a firm deadline to get this family settled in before summer’s end. The renovated main floor pairs an open-concept kitchen — soapstone island, arched backsplash, hardwood floors — with dining and living rooms each anchored by a marble fireplace surround, while the top floor holds four bathrooms including a primary suite with a navy double vanity, freestanding soaker tub, and skylight. A fully finished basement adds a custom home gym and sauna, and the family room opens straight onto the garden patio. A Georgie Award finalist for residential construction. Design-Build by Kerr Design Build.
The Dunbar Home
A full teardown and rebuild on a corner lot in Dunbar — a Craftsman Revival designed for a young family who wanted personality, warmth, and a home built to last. Complete with secondary suite, brewery room, and interiors that tell their story.
The Harbour Deck Addition
A second-storey cantilevered steel deck added to the back of a Harbour Chimes home in Coquitlam — engineered to float above the yard and frame a breathtaking view of Eagle Mountain. Eight months of complex permitting, structural work, and precision building. Every detail earned.
The Shaughnessy Pool
A basement crawlspace transformed into a 45-foot saltwater indoor/outdoor lap pool beneath a Shaughnessy heritage home — open to the elements, usable year-round, and unlike anything else in the neighbourhood. A project that required arborists, mechanical engineers, and months of city approvals before a single thing was built.
The Point Grey Road Home
A Class C heritage home on Point Grey Road, reimagined as three self-contained living units — restored on the outside, fully modernized within. With herringbone floors, custom kitchens, and a rentable basement suite, this Multiple Conversion Dwelling turned a rare heritage property into three homes with lasting value.
The Woodhurst Home
A complete renovation of the main floor, master bedroom, and bathrooms in a Burnaby home — designed to feel modern without erasing the past. Custom cabinetry throughout, 3D-visualized before construction began, and finished with an interior that makes room for a lifetime of collected pieces.
