Sha Wang is the founder and principal of Atelier Fēn and the latest project to launch from the studio is a renovation process. Transforming a ranch-style home from the 60s, Sha Wang creates a relaxed residence. The home is in the center of West Vancouver and overlooks the ocean.
The main focus of the design was to highlight the greenery that surrounds the home, optimizing the enchanting ambiance of the location. The team explored a plethora of design philosophies and translated that through colors and textures. The inspiration stems from the mid-century modern times, featuring clean lines and bright pops of color. The original floors are replaced, which were a cherry wood tone and now a white oak to brighten up the space.
