    • Focus On Finishing

      March 07, 2020

      As we wrap up one of our winter projects on the North Shore, the focus is squarely on the exquisite finishing.

      The challenge with the project, which is a major update of an existing waterfront home, was to modernize while retaining just enough of the original rustic Shuswap cabin feel. We think the owners have nailed it with their design, and we also think our staff and trades have done an incredible job executing the work.

      The rustic fireplace (top left photo below) is simply beautiful. Our thanks to stonemason Gunnar Keuris of North Shuswap Masonry for the effort. The final result will be amazing.

      Meanwhile, a shoutout as well to our tilesetter, Cory Closson. His work on the custom, framed-in-place showers (top right) is a pleasure to see—particularly how well he has tied in the tile with the quartz onlays on some of the surfaces. We’re really looking forward to seeing the finished product once the shower glass has been installed.

      And finally, the tongue and groove panelling on the ceilings (bottom photo), including in the new upper floor loft, is a refreshing, old-world change to the modern home ceilings we typically do in drywall. Our own carpenters, Chuck Beaton and Tim Lukashuk, are to be commended for their craftsmanship on the ceilings, and for the beamwork and other exquisite joinery throughout the home.

      We’ll look forward to posting more photos when the entire job is completed later this month.
