Kitsilano Condo Kitchen and Bathroom Renovation
Kitsilano, Vancouver
6 Weeks
$56,000
Client's goals
The client wanted to modernize their condo, starting with converting a dated bathtub into a custom walk-in shower: a cleaner look, easier access, and a real upgrade in everyday usability. The refresh carried through the whole unit, with new flooring in every room and a more open, contemporary kitchen.
The dated bathtub converted into a custom walk-in shower
New flooring throughout: tile in the entry, bathroom, and kitchen; engineered hardwood in the living area; carpet in the bedroom
A new kitchen countertop
The two-step eating bar on the peninsula removed for a more open, functional workspace
Overview
Roka Projects refreshed this Kitsilano condo end to end: the dated bathtub became a custom walk-in shower, new flooring went in throughout the unit (tile in the entry, bathroom, and kitchen, engineered hardwood in the living area, carpet in the bedroom), and the kitchen was opened up with a new countertop and the removal of the old two-step eating bar on the peninsula.
Scope of work
Bathtub removed and custom walk-in shower built
Tile flooring installed in the entry, bathroom, and kitchen
Engineered hardwood installed in the living area
New carpet in the bedroom
New kitchen countertop installed
Two-step eating bar removed from the peninsula for one continuous, open counter
Result
The unit feels current from the front door to the bedroom: one cohesive flooring plan instead of a patchwork, a walk-in shower that is easier to use every day, and a kitchen peninsula that works as one open counter instead of a stepped divider.
