Client's goals
The homeowners wanted to modernize their condo with a complete interior renovation that raised both comfort and style: a fresh, functional kitchen and bathrooms tailored to their lifestyle, the living room reimagined as the heart of the home with a new fireplace, and air conditioning for comfortable summers. The goal was a modern, comfortable retreat combining practical upgrades with high-end touches.
Full kitchen renovation for improved function and design
Two bathroom renovations with modern finishes and fixtures
Living room renovation with a new fireplace as the focal point
A/C installation for year-round comfort
Overview
Roka Projects completed a full interior renovation of this False Creek condo over six months: a new kitchen, two renovated bathrooms, and a living room rebuilt around a new fireplace with custom millwork. Air conditioning was added for year-round comfort, and the building's sprinkler system was reconfigured to keep the new fireplace and cabinetry fully code-compliant.
Scope of work
Full kitchen renovation
Two bathrooms fully renovated
Living room renovated around a new fireplace
Custom millwork built into the living space
Air conditioning installed
Sprinkler system reconfigured to code around the new design
Challenges & Solutions
Sprinkler conflicts with the new fireplace and millwork
Challenge: The fireplace and custom cabinetry clashed with the existing sprinkler layout, and fire code demands careful spacing around heat sources and new millwork.
Solution: We reconfigured the sprinkler system to meet code while integrating it seamlessly with the new design: a safe, compliant system that protects the space without compromising the look of the fireplace or millwork.
Result
The condo now lives like a modern retreat: a kitchen and bathrooms that feel current and work better, a living room with a real focal point, and cool air in the summer months. The upgrades that make it possible, from the reworked sprinklers to the mechanical, are invisible in the finished space, which is exactly the point.
