Yew
Campos Studio
Renovation
Yew is a traditional Vancouver home that was renovated to accommodate aging in place. The house was gutted down to the studs, reinsulated, and seismically upgraded to create a bright, modern, open-loft style living area with a private guest area for visiting children and friends. The powder bathroom can convert into a full bathroom, providing the option for one-floor living in the future. Finishes were kept hardwearing throughout, with the use of European white oak floors, oak and baltic birch millwork, and black metal turnbuckles to brace the ceiling.
