A super-satisfying transformation gallery of a Point Grey reno by Measured Architecture.
We’re obsessed with this stunning renovation by Measured Architecture (read Amanda Ross’s full story here) but the dreamy modern beach house is all the more impressive when you can see the transformation. Measured combined what was once dubbed the “Skinny House” and a brand-new addition, and the end result is as functional as it is stylish.
