Vancouver home blends modern-yet-textured style with love of mid-century modern.

Designers Sophie Burke and Scott Posno teamed up to design the home.

Julie and Jonathan Becker bought the home and renovated it after the Covid-19 pandemic.

The home’s open-plan main floor deftly blends Burke ’s modern yet textured trademark style with a relaxed, cosy feel.

The basement is home to another family gathering space, a media room anchored by an oversized sectional.

An inset shelf runs the length of a wall, disguising a mechanical bulkhead.

At the back entrance, designer Sophie Burke created a stylish mudroom, with blue-green slatted millwork that matches the accent wall upstairs.
