Vancouver Home Renovation



What do you do when your house looks the same as everyone on your street? Change the exterior and stand out from the crowd!

Vancouver House: Before
If you live in Vancouver you probably notice a lot of the houses have a certain look (just like the photo above). If you want to stand out in your street, tearing the house down and building new is a costly project. Perhaps changing the exterior while keeping the bones of the house could be a good money saving alternative. Time to make an old house look new again!

Vancouver House: After

A lot of Vancouver houses have a "box" shape and I decided to give it a more modern architectural look that will compliment the shape of the house. 

Some of the changes done to the Vancouver house are:
• use of wood, metal and concrete metarials for the exterior
• new modern double doors

• larger windows
• updated balcony
• cleaned up the landscaping
