Portfolio Case Study
Burnaby Main-Floor Structural Renovation
Burnaby | Interior Renovation | 14 weeks including engineering coordination and inspections
A full main-floor reconfiguration with structural beam integration, layout simplification, and coordinated finish transitions.
Before
The original layout had compartmentalized rooms, poor circulation, and inconsistent finish lines between key living zones.
After
The renovation opened core sightlines, improved movement flow, and delivered a unified interior finish package with cleaner transitions.
Scope and Timeline
- Selective demolition and temporary support setup
- Structural beam installation with engineer sign-off
- Kitchen and living-zone millwork integration
- Lighting, electrical, and finish re-sequencing
Materials Used
- Custom painted and stained millwork
- Durable quartz surfacing
- Wide-plank engineered wood flooring
- Moisture-resistant wall and cabinet systems
Key Design Decisions
- Cabinet and appliance lines were aligned to reduce visual clutter.
- Lighting was zoned by task and circulation instead of fixture count.
- Transition details were standardized to maintain consistent tolerance and finish quality.
Craftsmanship Focus
- Tight millwork reveals at panel and appliance interfaces
- Consistent floor leveling across reworked structural zones
- Clean substrate preparation ahead of finish installation
The home gained a more functional layout and stronger day-to-day usability without sacrificing durability or clean detailing.
