SOUTH 

CAMBIE 

Brass and charcoal give this South Cambie renovation its character. In the formal living room, a brass chandelier with black shades hangs from an ornate plaster ceiling medallion above a tufted leather ottoman, a green rug, and a white fireplace surround faced in marble-look tile, with a gilt mirror on the mantel.

The family room flips the contrast. Charcoal built-ins wrap a stone-look slab fireplace, and a bar nook nearby holds glass-front cabinets, a mirrored back, and an under-counter wine fridge. In the kitchen, white shaker cabinetry runs to the ceiling and hides a panel-front fridge; a built-in Miele coffee machine and wall oven sit in the tall run, with brass pulls, a brass faucet, and white-and-brass cone pendants over the island.

Black-framed interior glass doors and a black glass-paned exterior door tie the rooms together over oak-toned floors.
