In renovating a historic Vancouver residence, local firm Hotson Bakker Boniface Haden achieved a deft melding of old and new that centers on an exuberantly hued, light-strewn kitchen. “Although the house is from the 1920s, the clients, and our firm, both lean in a very Modern direction,” says principal in charge Alan Boniface. “We wanted the design to respect the original building, but also respect how we live today”—namely, with porous boundaries between rooms.
