Cape Cod Style with a West Coast Twist

W hen touring Salt Spring Island you might expect to see traditional West Coast style homes nestled in the tall trees, but if you travel to Parminter Point, a different kind of home stands out.

“It’s more like a New England cottage,” says Anne Green, who lives part-time in the home with her husband, David. They have christened the house “Small Point,” as it sits on the smallest of three points.

The Greens purchased the property in 1997 and built their home the following year. They chose Salt Spring because of its proximity to Vancouver Island, where their sons were attending boarding school. In 2002 they doubled the size of the home to 3,000 square feet by building an addition. The newer space consists of an office and guest area, including its own kitchenette. While the indoors of the original home and the addition are very similar, the outside is quite different.

“We wanted it to look like two separate houses, even though they are attached,” says Anne.

The original house is covered in white horizontal boards, while the addition is natural grey shingles with white trim, but the inside of the luxurious home flows naturally from the original structure to the addition. Old growth fir flooring, taken from an old airport roof hangar, spans the house, including the kitchen and main living area. The recently expanded and renovated kitchen has become the entertainment centre of the home. “My wife loves the kitchen,” says David. “We have lovely marble counters and she really likes that a lot.”The Greens love the functionality of the kitchen. Vast amounts of counter space, including a large peninsula, ensure the couple has a lot of room to work. They also have an open shelf pantry area. The Bianca Carrara marble counter tops are nicely coordinated with large white cabinets, and the Miele appliances are also finished with the same painted white finishes found on the cabinets. Anne’s favourite feature in the kitchen is the L-shaped window above the sink. “I can see out the window and see the tide coming in and out,” says Anne. Small Point is surrounded by water.

H ome renovations can be daunting, but Anne and David Green were in good hands when they decided to fully renovate their kitchen and bathroom. Vivienne and Jeff Scott, owners of Cabinet Works in Sidney, worked tirelessly to make the Greens’ dream kitchen and bathrooms a reality.

“We literally sat down with them and pored over designs,” says Vivienne.

The original kitchen design for the Salt Spring home was drawn by Hodgson Design Associates in Vancouver and, after the plans were finalized, the Cabinet Works team got to work. But, as with any home renovation, there were challenges, especially in the kitchen.

“Once the renovation got going we realized the plan needed to be modi-fied,” says Jeff. “We had to modify cabinets in order to accommodate pipes and walls and I had to really custom fit the appliances.”

Once the Miele appliances were in, Jeff and his team were able to focus on the rest of the u-shaped kitchen. They built custom features such as a deep eating bar, a butler’s pantry and a cherry wood bar piece.

All the countertops are Bianca Carrara marble and coordinate with the warm white, wide framed, Shaker style cabinets. All the appliances have also been outfitted with the warm

The Greens enjoy the openness of the newly renovated kitchen. After removing a high counter that used to create a barrier between the kitchen and living area, David says the new space is much more accommodating for guests.

A cherry wood finished bar piece coordinates nicely with the warm fir flooring.

The powder room is also finished with fir flooring and painted white cabinets. The linen closet is incorporated into this room behind finished white cabinetry doors and a large photograph of an iris, by Salt Spring photographer Gillean Proctor, hangs in the recessed space.

Another unusual, but visually stunning, feature of the house is the master bedroom. The room’s windows frame an ocean view. This is a common feature throughout the house – Vancouver architects Osburn/Clarke Productions Inc., who designed the home, are known for designing and placing windows to capture and enhance the views.

“The floor of the master bedroom is below ground level by about two feet, so when you’re lying in the bed you’re looking out to an oak tree, the garden and the flowers,” says David.

The outdoor area surrounding Small Point is equally as appealing and functional as the home itself. The windows and large tent skylights in the Salt Spring home frame the beautiful scenery and create a living space unique to the beautiful West Coast.

Mixing Old and Newwhite cabinetry finishes, creating a seamless look in the kitchen.

One thing Cabinet Works did not have to work on was the original old growth fir flooring.

“The flooring is a really warm red that fir becomes over time,” says Jeff.

While all the finishes and work-manship are top quality, the kitchen does not feel like a showroom piece. “It’s not ostentatious,” says Vivienne. “It’s very lovely and comforting.”“This workspace is specifically suited to Anne and David and how they entertain,” adds Jeff. The bathrooms are also suited to the couple. The fir flooring continues into the powder room, as does the warm white cabinetry. A floor to ceiling linen cabinet was also constructed. “It was important for Anne that it didn’t look like a standard cabinet, so there’s a recessed alcove where artwork can be displayed,” says Jeff. “It’s more like a piece of furniture.”The project is something the Cabinet Works team is very proud of, and something they take very seriously.“You’re being invited into peoples’ intimate space, so it’s important to make the homeowners feel comfort-able,” says Jeff. “It’s a very personal relationship,” adds Vivienne.

H ome renovations can be daunting, but Anne and David Green were in good hands when they decided to fully renovate their kitchen and bathroom. Vivienne and Jeff Scott, owners of Cabinet Works in Sidney, worked tirelessly to make the Greens’ dream kitchen and bathrooms a reality.

“We literally sat down with them and pored over designs,” says Vivienne.

The original kitchen design for the Salt Spring home was drawn by Hodgson Design Associates in Vancouver and, after the plans were finalized, the Cabinet Works team got to work. But, as with any home renovation, there were challenges, especially in the kitchen.

“Once the renovation got going we realized the plan needed to be modi-fied,” says Jeff. “We had to modify cabinets in order to accommodate pipes and walls and I had to really custom fit the appliances.”

Once the Miele appliances were in, Jeff and his team were able to focus on the rest of the u-shaped kitchen. They built custom features such as a deep eating bar, a butler’s pantry and a cherry wood bar piece.

All the countertops are Bianca Carrara marble and coordinate with the warm white, wide framed, Shaker style cabinets. All the appliances have also been outfitted with the warm

The Greens enjoy the openness of the newly renovated kitchen. After removing a high counter that used to create a barrier between the kitchen and living area, David says the new space is much more accommodating for guests.

A cherry wood finished bar piece coordinates nicely with the warm fir flooring.

The powder room is also finished with fir flooring and painted white cabinets. The linen closet is incorporated into this room behind finished white cabinetry doors and a large photograph of an iris, by Salt Spring photographer Gillean Proctor, hangs in the recessed space.

Another unusual, but visually stunning, feature of the house is the master bedroom. The room’s windows frame an ocean view. This is a common feature throughout the house – Vancouver architects Osburn/Clarke Productions Inc., who designed the home, are known for designing and placing windows to capture and enhance the views.

“The floor of the master bedroom is below ground level by about two feet, so when you’re lying in the bed you’re looking out to an oak tree, the garden and the flowers,” says David.

The outdoor area surrounding Small Point is equally as appealing and functional as the home itself. The windows and large tent skylights in the Salt Spring home frame the beautiful scenery and create a living space unique to the beautiful West Coast.

One thing Cabinet Works did not have to work on was the original old growth fir flooring.

“The flooring is a really warm red that fir becomes over time,” says Jeff.

While all the finishes and work-manship are top quality, the kitchen does not feel like a showroom piece. “It’s not ostentatious,” says Vivienne. “It’s very lovely and comforting.”“This workspace is specifically suited to Anne and David and how they entertain,” adds Jeff. The bathrooms are also suited to the couple. The fir flooring continues into the powder room, as does the warm white cabinetry. A floor to ceiling linen cabinet was also constructed. “It was important for Anne that it didn’t look like a standard cabinet, so there’s a recessed alcove where artwork can be displayed,” says Jeff. “It’s more like a piece of furniture.”The project is something the Cabinet Works team is very proud of, and something they take very seriously.“You’re being invited into peoples’ intimate space, so it’s important to make the homeowners feel comfort-able,” says Jeff. “It’s a very personal relationship,” adds Vivienne.

Cape Cod Style with a West Coast Twist

W hen touring Salt Spring Island you might expect to see traditional West Coast style homes nestled in the tall trees, but if you travel to Parminter Point, a different kind of home stands out.

“It’s more like a New England cottage,” says Anne Green, who lives part-time in the home with her husband, David. They have christened the house “Small Point,” as it sits on the smallest of three points.

The Greens purchased the property in 1997 and built their home the following year. They chose Salt Spring because of its proximity to Vancouver Island, where their sons were attending boarding school. In 2002 they doubled the size of the home to 3,000 square feet by building an addition. The newer space consists of an office and guest area, including its own kitchenette. While the indoors of the original home and the addition are very similar, the outside is quite different.

“We wanted it to look like two separate houses, even though they are attached,” says Anne.

The original house is covered in white horizontal boards, while the addition is natural grey shingles with white trim, but the inside of the luxurious home flows naturally from the original structure to the addition. Old growth fir flooring, taken from an old airport roof hangar, spans the house, including the kitchen and main living area. The recently expanded and renovated kitchen has become the entertainment centre of the home. “My wife loves the kitchen,” says David. “We have lovely marble counters and she really likes that a lot.”The Greens love the functionality of the kitchen. Vast amounts of counter space, including a large peninsula, ensure the couple has a lot of room to work. They also have an open shelf pantry area. The Bianca Carrara marble counter tops are nicely coordinated with large white cabinets, and the Miele appliances are also finished with the same painted white finishes found on the cabinets. Anne’s favourite feature in the kitchen is the L-shaped window above the sink. “I can see out the window and see the tide coming in and out,” says Anne. Small Point is surrounded by water.
