Coal Harbor Apartment
RENOVATION OF A CONDO IN VANCOUVER’S COAL HARBOUR NEIGHBHOUROOD SPRING 2018This spacious apartment located in Vancouver’s Coal Harbor neighbourhood was customized to serve as a multi-generational family centre. As a gathering spot for extended family members who work and travel around the world, the flat is fitted with all the transitional conveniences of a high-end hotel, but with the welcoming atmosphere of returning home. The extended plan flows fluidly from one space to the next while carving out a variety of intimate niches. Private spaces are flexible but convey unique expressions of each family member’s respective personality.The 2,150 square-foot apartment originally felt much smaller due to a fragmented layout and jarring material...

Hidden Annexe
The client sought a flat built entirely under his terrace-house garden, making the existing property more suitable for his growing family whilst retaining the garden. Within 46 m², the project required resourceful use of space, ingenious access to natural light and preferably little impact on the adjacent properties and environment.
A concrete shell was inserted below ground, and a glass cube dropped into the centre, drawing in light and air and creating both a lightwell and private courtyard. Flat, walk-on roof lights were installed in the bathroom and hallway ceilings to further maximise natural light. To counter space constraints, Edgley Design established a careful, simple layout, with frameless glass and minimal details. The garden... More

American walnut brings a touch of class to Swiss private clinic’s main lobby
The Daler Hospital is a private surgical and maternity clinic located at the heart of the historic city of Freiburg, Switzerland, with a rich medieval heritage. The hospital sits on a wooded slope on one of the city’s many hillsides. This private clinic was founded in 1917 at the request of a local banker and devout Protestant, Jules Daler. In his will he bequeathed the best part of his estate to creating a private foundation that still runs the hospital today. Over the years the success and reputation of this hospital has steadily grown and several modern buildings have been added to the initial 19th century building with its traditional wide sloping roofs.
In 2009 the foundation decided it was high time to modernize the hospital’s mai... More
