This Canadian pied-à-terre in Vancouver by Falken Reynolds uses a calming interior to highlight its scenic vistas and vibrant artworks
Featuring picture-perfect views of the sapphire waters of English Bay and the rugged North Shore Mountains, this apartment complements its gorgeous natural setting with beauty of a more man-made persuasion. A plethora of artworks imbues the 1,200 sq ft abode with vitality and colour, while design influences from architectural icons such as Carlo Scarpa and Barnaba Fornasetti introduce robust forms and an eclectic, whimsical spin. The result is a home that merges Italian inspiration with statement furnishings and natural materials for a truly original look.

The apartment, which sits on the 25th level of a 30-storey residential tower in Vancouver’s beach district, is a single-level unit with an open-concept kitchen and living room, main bedroom with ensuite and closet, and guest bathroom. It is used as a holiday home by a couple from Asia; the wife works in the media industry and the husband is in finance. They had appointed Canadian architectural firm Falken Reynolds to give the residence a complete renovation, with a view to opening up the somewhat tight layout, maximising the views, and creating an inspiring and comfortable space for working and relaxing in, as well as hosting intimate gatherings.
