Rockridge Classic is a luxury renovation that proves traditional doesn't mean timid. Set in the prestigious Rockridge neighbourhood of West Vancouver with commanding views of the ocean, downtown Vancouver, and passing freighters, this home pairs the formal vocabulary of French Provincial cabinetry with the scale and light that West Vancouver's hillside setting demands — creating rooms that feel both grand and deeply warm.
The original interiors — dated oak cabinetry, laminate countertops, patterned tile backsplash, fluorescent lighting, and terra cotta flooring. Solid bones and panoramic views, but every surface, fixture, and finish needed to go.
The master bathroom had the bones — a corner soaking tub with the same panoramic ocean view — but oak vanity cabinetry, beige marble-look countertops, and parquet-style flooring placed it firmly in the 1990s.
Cream raised-panel cabinetry with fluted pilasters, cherry wood accent panels, Emperador Dark marble island, arched range hood surround, leaded glass doors, and crystal pendants — a kitchen built on classical proportions and traditional craft.
The curved marble island anchors the kitchen, flowing into a sun-drenched breakfast nook with bay window ocean views, a crystal drum chandelier, and French Provincial chairs upholstered in gold brocade.
The material story carries through to the master bathroom — Emperador Dark marble wraps the soaking tub and vanity, cream raised-panel cabinetry mirrors the kitchen below, and every fixture is polished nickel. The corner soaking tub faces a panoramic ocean view.
At this level of craft, the quality is in the details — the veining of the marble, the polish of the nickel, the view framed through every window.
The kitchen is the centrepiece: a sweeping curved island clad in antique cream raised-panel cabinetry with fluted pilaster details, topped by a dramatic slab of bookmatched Emperador Dark marble. Cherry wood accent panels — used for the refrigerator surround, lower perimeter cabinets, and the built-in media niche — provide the warm contrast that prevents the cream tones from reading cold. Above, an arched range hood surround frames the marble backsplash like a classical mantelpiece, while leaded glass cabinet doors with elliptical mullion patterns add a layer of craft that rewards close inspection.
The open plan flows from the kitchen through to a sun-drenched breakfast nook anchored by a bay window with panoramic ocean views, a crystal drum chandelier, and Louis XVI chairs upholstered in gold brocade. A farmhouse apron-front sink in the secondary island faces the nook — positioning the cook at the centre of both the kitchen and the view. Through the far archway, a cherry-panelled family room with built-in shelving and a leather Chesterfield provides a more intimate counterpoint.
The master ensuite carries the same material story upward: Emperador Dark marble wraps the soaking tub surround and double vanity countertops, set against cream raised-panel cabinetry and silver-toned textured wallcovering. Polished nickel fixtures and crystal multi-arm sconces complete a bathroom where every surface is coordinated and every view — including the ocean panorama from the tub — is deliberately framed.
Full raised-panel cabinetry in antique cream with fluted pilaster details, arched range hood surround, and leaded glass doors with elliptical mullion patterns. Every panel, every moulding, every joint is hand-finished to furniture grade — millwork that belongs in a château.
Rich cherry wood panels used selectively for the refrigerator surround, lower perimeter cabinets, built-in media niche, and family room shelving. The warm reddish-brown tone provides the visual weight and contrast that keeps the cream cabinetry from reading monotone.
Bookmatched Emperador Dark marble runs through both the kitchen and master ensuite — island countertop, backsplash, tub surround, and vanity tops. The deep chocolate-and-gold veining ties the two most important rooms in the house together with a single material thread.
Every principal room is oriented to capture the ocean, downtown Vancouver skyline, and passing freighters. The breakfast nook bay window and master bathroom corner tub are positioned to make the view an integral part of the daily experience, not just scenery.
Crystal pendant lights over the kitchen island, a crystal drum chandelier in the breakfast nook, and crystal multi-arm sconces in the master bath — a consistent lighting language that reinforces the classical European character at every turn.
Custom Louis XVI bar stools and dining chairs upholstered in coordinating gold brocade fabric carry the French Provincial theme from the cabinetry into the furniture — a complete design vision where nothing is an afterthought.
From classical European renovations to contemporary custom builds — Eurohouse brings the same precision millwork and obsessive attention to detail to every project.
