Contemporary Masculine Themed Renovation Set for Entertaining

TQ Construction brings this bachelor pad back to wow!

The homeowner engaged TQ Construction for this award winning Burnaby Home Renovation. The home was no longer delivering the impact that initially drew him to buy it almost 25 years ago. The house has good bones, and a great location in an established neighbourhood, but needed some serious updating. The resulting renovation is an indoor-outdoor oasis endearingly referred to as the Lynndale Project; a classy bachelor pad with west coast wow!

THE OBJECTIVE

Client requested a contemporary, clean, uncluttered and masculine aesthetic for this Burnaby home renovation. Design was driven by passion for cooking and entertaining. Desire for the enjoyment of a peaceful spa-like retreat, led to an ensuite design fused of modern & Asian styles; creating elegance thru a minimalist design approach.

HOW IT WAS ACHIEVED

The loved and solidly-built but dated home was made open-concept with a seamless flow between indoor/outdoor spaces. Disconnected kitchen, family-room, and eating-area were combined. The resulting great-room features central floor-to-ceiling, double-sided fireplace with walk-through access to kitchen on either side. Oversized ensuite rivalling a luxury locker room with standalone tub and no-threshold walk-through shower (with bench seat & full height tiling) accessed from either side of single floor-to-ceiling frameless-glass panel.

It’s changed the way I live. I had this huge house, but really only used three rooms. I now live in the whole home compared to just 20 percent of it.
