From Home Makeover Magazine April 2009
Best Renovation $100,000-$249,999
Gold Winner: Kerr Construction Ltd., Vancouver
This old Kitsilano Craftsman bungalow was made over using old-growth fir from a demolished sawmill, local B.C fir and great care to blend the renovation into the 1900s character of the neighbourhood. All woodwork was hand-milled in-house, including the custom porch pillars. The oak floors were refinished, second-hand fixtures and hardware were sourced locally and exterior paint matches the heritage palette of old Kitsilano. “The luxury cottage in the city” is also super-energy-efficient, with new radiant floor heating, increased insulation, energy-saving windows and appliances and a custom-built wood-burning fireplace. (Kerr Construction also took the gold Georgie for best kitchen under $100,000)
