“Canadian studio RSAAW has renovated a mid-century house in Vancouver to include a double-height library, all-white interiors and a treehouse in the garden.
The project, called Berkley House, is a two-storey house with a dark facade surrounded by trees in North Vancouver.
Local firm RSAAW transformed the family home into a bright and airy space by connecting its previously separated two levels and painting the gallery-like interior in white.
A slanted roof features large skylights that emphasise the central atrium space of the open-plan ground floor. Prior to the renovation, this level was a mortgage helper suite.
‘Family spaces were somewhat cloistered, with minimal natural light entering key areas,’ said RSAAW.
Berkley House‘s connected levels are anchored by a double-height library formed by stacked boxes of light wood. The wooden bookcase is built into the staircase linking the levels together.”
