CHARING COURT | BURNABY

Home Design: Architrix
Interior Design: Andrew Wan
Location: Burnaby, BC
Completion: 2014
Photos: Ema Peter Photography

Charing Court was designed as a young, successful couple’s zen-like escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The thoughtful remodel of a Burnaby, BC, custom home built in the 1980s took an environmentally-conscious approach, utilizing the structure’s existing foundation to avoid disturbing the nearby green-space any more than necessary.
