Elevate Your Kitchen Cabinets – Advice Featured on Redfin
- By London Camaclang
We were recently featured by Redfin with some advice for elevating your kitchen cabinets. As the largest feature in most kitchens, cabinetry is always one of our top considerations!
Here was our top tip for homeowners:
“To upgrade your kitchen cabinets, consider requesting all visible end panels match the finish on your door fronts – these are called gable ends. Often millworkers will have a standard flat profile for end panels. The additional cost is worth the added visual interest it brings to the space.”
Novell Design Studio
Our Kitsilano Residence is a great example of these gable end panels in a modern, eclectic home. For this family, the kitchen, dining and gardens were key gathering spaces in their home. We’ve designed these spaces with this in mind, and added details to keep them visually tethered. With gable end panels, and with storage wrapping around the corners of the kitchen, these cabinets maximized space while creating a soft transition between rooms.

Custom Curved Dormer Inspired by Gingerbread Turrets
- By London Camaclang
Inspiration for this Vancouver infill arrived in gingerbread form.
We fell in love with the idea of a turret …. and not just because it was covered in icing! Throughout our Design Build process, the turret has changed in location and size. The final design is a charming, custom curved dormer.
Framing this roof has been so rewarding and we wanted to share the process so far. We can’t wait to see this spectacular space completed.
This Vancouver infill is a laneway home that benefits from an additional boost in square footage. We’ve framed the custom roof to include varying slopes, custom curves, and vaulted height above the entrance and main staircase. Stay tuned for updates as our team moves into the next phases of this construction!

Save the Date: Ice Box Challenge launches July 27 – Passive House Canada | Maison Passive Canada
- By novelladmin
Residents of Vancouver, have you joined the #iceboxchallenge yet?
This year, Passive House Canada teamed up with the City of Vancouver and the local Construction Community to jumpstart the Icebox Challenge. This challenge puts the BC building code up against a super-insulated international high-performance building standard. The contest began on July 27th and will be concluding in the next four days (August 14th, 11:00am).
Two ice boxes – one built to the BC building code standard and one built to the Passive House standard. With all the heat coming our way, this is definitely going to be exciting! How much ice do you think will be left in each ice box?
