The Project

The Story Behind This Kitsilano Bathroom Renovation

A carefully planned bathroom transformation that improves storage, lighting, moisture protection and everyday comfort while creating a calm interior suited to a Kitsilano home.

A more functional bathroom designed with warmth, simplicity and durable materials

The homeowners wanted to replace an outdated bathroom with a brighter, better organized space that would feel comfortable for everyday use. The existing room lacked practical storage, effective lighting and the visual consistency expected throughout the rest of the home.

QUAY developed a complete Kitsilano bathroom renovation that brought the design, material selections and construction work together under one coordinated plan. The layout was refined around the existing footprint while improving access to storage, fixtures and the primary bathing area.

Custom vanity millwork introduced practical drawer storage and a more tailored appearance. Carefully selected tile, upgraded plumbing fixtures and layered lighting created a cleaner material palette while maintaining the relaxed residential character associated with Kitsilano.

Behind the finished surfaces, the project included demolition, framing adjustments, plumbing, waterproofing, electrical work, tile installation, ventilation and final finishing. This coordinated approach supports the durability required for bathroom renovations in Vancouver where moisture control and precise trade sequencing are essential.

The finished bathroom combines practical storage, durable construction and a calm material palette within a space designed for comfortable everyday use.

Each component was planned and coordinated as part of one complete bathroom renovation rather than being treated as a series of disconnected trade upgrades.
