Restoring a 1911 heritage home in Kitsilano from three poorly renovated rental suites into the home ѻýit always wanted to be when it grew upѻý, Quinton Construction and Madeleine Design Group share the steps to their award-winning 4-level single-family home with basement suite reno.
ѻýAs a designer, it really boils down to having the personality of your client shine throughѻý, says award-winning designer, and former carpenter, Madeleine Sloback. ѻýI tell clients to interview their builders based on their personality, as opposed to what they see on paper, because it is a very personal relationship that youѻýre creating over the course of many yearsѻý.
On this episode, Co-hosts Mike and Jennifer-Lee share with listeners the history of the award-winning Kitsilano Heritage Home.
ѻýAn older home is based on having huge drying potential. Almost all these houses at some point get wet, but theyѻýre able to dryѻý, explains John Quinton. ѻýAnd you have to be cognizant of that when youѻýre upgrading these homes. For our new construction, we are very aggressive with our air sealing and use entirely exterior insulated wall assemblies. But when youѻýre working with an existing home, you have to be careful about how you apply some of those technologiesѻý.
