Interior design studio Falken Reynolds was tapped to decorate the new waterfront home on Vancouver Islands. The home is located on the Southern side of British Columbia and was designed by architect Chris Foyd from the local firm Bo Form -- it is home to an active couple with their three sons.
Chad Falkenberg, principal at the design studio and the lead of the project notes that "The client had a clear vision for the house – a very pared back, durable and minimalist interior but with warmth and subtle sophistication." This can be seen as the upstairs has an open-plan design of a kitchen, living space, and dining room. It continues with the primary suite and two additional bedrooms, with a study, mudroom, and powder room for an expansive design.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Minimalist Coastal Design
- Design studios can explore adhering to clients' visions for clean, pared-back designs with a warm and sophisticated charm.
- Open-plan Living Spaces
- Architects can create designs that incorporate seamless integration in living spaces, such as a combined kitchen, living room, and dining area.
- Waterfront Homes
- Builders can focus on constructing homes that highlight the beauty of waterfronts, while still meeting the demands of active families.
Sectors Adopting This
- Interior Design
- Design firms can specialize in creating interiors that are functional and harmonious with their surroundings, while still reflecting the vision of the client.
- Architecture
- Architectural firms can look into innovative design concepts that emphasize the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living spaces.
- Real Estate
- By focusing on location and natural surroundings, real estate developers can take advantage of waterfront properties to build homes that offer an ideal setting for individuals and families.
