A striped feature wall in a heritage office, Vancouver

Interior feature wall

What we found

A heritage house converted to office use, with a building shape quite unlike a modern house.

How the work was done

  1. Work out a stripe treatment that suits the character of the building rather than fighting it.
  2. Set out and paint the feature wall.

How it turned out

The owner found it genuinely different, which was the point.
