Movike Design has designed and project-managed renovations of a variety of detached homes, townhouses and apartments in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. Please see some select projects below:

This spacious townhouse in Richmond needed a new kitchen and ensuite. We replaced the vanity with a floating vanity and a night light underneath that's on a motion sensor (clients idea). To add spaciousness, we kept the color scheme quite monochrome. In the kitchen, we use a metallic Ann Sacks tile as a backsplash to add some sparkles. Cabinets and cabinet design is by CITATION.  

This is a bathroom renovation in a detached home. In addition to some structural changes (removing the walls for a planned but unfinished sauna) the bathroom was gutted. The new curbless shower makes the room look much bigger. Wainscoting was added to create a country look. The color palette is kept neutral with grays and whites to get a timeless look. Color can always be added with accessories. All the cabinetry is custom made, including the storage unit and bench. The LED light above the mirror is on a dimmer. The countertop is Caesarstone engineeered quartz, the handles are Bradford.

Before and After pictures of a laundry room renovation in a South Delta home. We took out the closet and instead put on open rack above the bottom cabinets for drying or airing laundry. By the door to the garden, we built a bench/wardrobe units for shoes with hooks for coats. The countertops are Caesarstone. The washer/dryer were replaced with apartment sized ones to fit under the countertop.

In the master bathroom, we replaced the vanity with one that had a better lay out and also left enough room for a storage unit.





The jacuzzi tub was replaced with a curbless shower.  The mosaic tile from the shower floor was used as a background in the niche 

Below a kitchen reno in South Delta. The client wanted to keep her cabinets because they were in pretty good shape so they were just painted, along with the island. Some of the upper cabinet doors were replaced with glass doors to create a more open feeel. The backsplash, a handmade Italian subway tile in a soft white, adds elegance to this white-on-white kitchen. 

​Latest kitchen design in a new build in South Surrey.

The counters are Caesarstone Calacutta Nuova; the tiles are metallic tiles from Ann Sacks and the cabinets are painted in Simply White by Benjamin Moore.

The floor is an engineered hardwood with medium wide planks.
 
The glass pendants are from Robinson Lighting and add sparkle to the kitchen

​A kitchen reno in Ladner.  The two-tone cabinets were added to and the arborite countertop was replaced with engineered quartz in a warm grey with brown undertones. A geometrical tile from Italy was used for the backsplash and the double sink was replaced with a single bowl with rectified corners. 

​A bathroom reno where a single sink was replaced with an integrated double sink. The shower had a niche installed and was finished with a pillow tile from Italy

Here a condo reno in South Delta.  The kitchen was opened up by removing several walls and adding an island. A hallway was transformed by adding pantry storage in the same finish as the kitchen cabinets. This is a two-tone kitchen: while the wood panels add character the white cabinets add spaciousness. The powder room was also redone with floating cabinets and a westyle sink.

KITCHEN in Tsawwassen rancher - my most recently completed project
It's a custom two-tone kitchen with white upper cabinets and grey lowers. Countertops are engineered quartz.

CLIENT FEEDBACK: "We used Movike Design to provide an overall design plan for a mid 80's rancher style house that we purchased in early 2015. Movike selected the colour scheme for the interior walls, ceilings, trims, baseboards and assisted in selecting the finished flooring plus arrangement of furniture.

Interior renovations are being phased and Movike also provided design consultation on a new kitchen with colours, style of cabinets, counter tops, appliance and lighting fixtures.

Movike was knowledgeable on design elements, construction issues and worked well with the contractor to ensure that project timelines were achieved and that the project met our expectations."

Kitchen and Great Room Reno Delta

The clients wanted a fresh look for their great room. We replaced the flooring, the sectional and had a custom media centre built by a local cabinetmaker. We also replaced the window coverings and remodelled the fireplace. New reclining chairs were added and the wall color was changed to a lighter color.

Kitchen and Bath Reno UBC

The kitchen was gutted completely to create additional space and to update the cabinets.  The cabinets are two-toned, with grey ones on the bottom and opaque glass ones on the top.  The new fridge is cabinet depth to create a more unified look and to add space. The oil finished flooring is used throughout for a unified look and to add warmth and character

Before

The bathroom also received a full make-over with a frameless walk-in shower using the same tiles for the floor and the walls.  A tiled accent wall was created next to the mirror with tiles running from floor to ceiling
