Vancouver Sun: Amazing Space - Westside Residence is Revamped, Reimagined

Featured by Vancouver Sun | Article by Michele Marko

With steel and glass construction, this westside Vancouver residence might have been a modern gem. Instead, when the clients of Knight Varga Interiors purchased the house, it was gilded top to bottom, dating to the ’90s, recalls designer Trish Knight, co-founder of the award-winning firm.

Nothing was salvageable, Knight says. So she and partner Nicole Varga tore out everything and revamped the interiors to align with the home’s architectural style.

The 30-something clients gave the designers carte blanche. Knight and Varga took their cues from the owners’ previous residence, as well as their personal style. For the living room, the primary living space on the main floor and the place where they entertain, Knight says the vision was for the area to be cosy and inviting, “but not feel like a space designed just to watch TV.”
