The 430 House is the result of a successful renovation project by D’Arcy Jones Architecture. The residence was finished in 2014 and offers 2,450 square feet of living space in a quiet neighborhood in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The original residence from 1981 had its dining, living areas and kitchen on the upper floor, but the renovation saw them being relocated to the ground floor.
Apart from the interior modifications, the home also received a brand new façade as well as new windows that welcome natural light within while ensuring views of the surrounding environment. The two levels of the 430 House are linked with the help of an interior staircase that boasts floating wooden steps.
The overall interior atmosphere is a cozy and welcoming one, particularly in the living room where we find a fireplace, an L-shaped sofa as well as storage spaces for the firewood.

This renovation is stunning! Relocating the main living areas to the ground floor was such a smart move. The floating staircase and natural light make the space feel so open yet cozy. A beautiful transformation by D’Arcy Jones Architecture.
Thank you! We’re thrilled you appreciate the design. Moving the living spaces down really did enhance the flow and light. It’s wonderful to hear the balance between open and cozy resonated with you. D’Arcy Jones Architecture worked hard on those details!
