PURE Design Inc. reimagined a dated Vancouver Special into a vibrant, playful home for a young family in Mount Pleasant. The 1960s property, originally dark and boxy, was transformed into a light-filled, colourful haven tailored to the needs of a creative couple and their two young sons.

The design brief called for bold use of colour, including a yellow kitchen and a pink bathroom. PURE Design embraced this playful direction, infusing the home with joyful energy and Scandinavian-inspired elements such as clean lines, curved forms, and expressive palettes. The redesign focused on opening up the long, linear layout to create a more organic, family-friendly flow.

Curved walls, archways, and colour blocking became defining features. A bold rosy-toned vestibule provides a soft transition to the powder room, while asymmetry in the plaster fireplace adds a mix of tension and softness. Custom open shelving offers visual connectivity while subtly dividing the stairwell, creating layered sightlines and a sense of curiosity.

The upper floor was expanded to prioritise connection and shared living, while bedrooms and bathrooms remain tucked away on the main level for privacy. Throughout the home, vibrant hues are balanced with bright, natural tones for a saturated yet calming environment.

PURE Design worked with local millworkers for custom cabinetry and partnered with Greek-trained artisans for traditional plasterwork. Sustainability played a key role, with low-VOC finishes, energy-efficient appliances, and Canadian-made furniture specified throughout. The result is a home that reflects the clients’ personality, encourages creativity, and offers a warm, inviting space for family life.
