Project Scope

Flintstones was contracted to complete this exterior renovation from the conceptual designs and municipal permitting through to completion. We began with a comprehensive assessment of the status and integrity of all exterior and building envelope materials. Our experience and extensive consultation with the homeowners allowed us to make solid recommendations that affected the aesthetic appeal of the home and ensured the building’s integrity for years to come.

The homeowners were experiencing increasing mobility issues and wanted to age in place. But their well-loved 1920s character house, with its narrow doorways and multiple staircases, was not equipped to accommodate the next phase of their life. Flintstones designed a three-storey rear extension, with wheelchair access, that breathed new life into the existing home. The discreet 1,200 square foot addition included a large primary bedroom for the couple with easy to access en suite amenities including a walk in bathtub and shower system, and an entertainment room, granting the owners accessible access to all three existing floors of the house, without significant alteration to the street view.

The long-time homeowners of this property were frustrated with a backyard that was sloped, damp and unusable. They love entertaining and wanted to extend their capacity to host meals outside all year around. A full exterior renovation transformed their backyard into an outdoor living space that acts as an extension of the home’s interior (located adjacent to the kitchen). A louvered pergola operates with a sensor, opening and closing depending on the weather, to protect from both rain and sun. Framing the patio are stairs that access the raised garden while acting as a retaining wall to control the water from the lawn, with drainage added redirecting water flow. The backyard is now a stunning kitchen and lounge that the homeowners can enjoy all year around.

Government

Municipality:

Victoria

Originally built in 1906, this Government Street home was transformed into a legal duplex. The considered approach to the renovation improved the original home’s livability and efficiency while maintaining its historic features and finishes. Once the home was raised and a new foundation was poured, the other half of the duplex was then carefully built within the previously unused and unfinished basement space.

Client Objectives

The original 1906 home was owned by a single family who saw the unfinished basement as an opportunity to create a second home for the owner’s brother and his family who were moving to Victoria. The home was highly valued for the quality of its original materials, its central location in James Bay and its curb appeal.

Project Challenges

Flintstones worked collaboratively and tirelessly with the homeowners and the City of Victoria to satisfy all rezoning requirements. From a design perspective a thoughtful approach was necessary to ensure that the traditional aesthetic for this historic home was upheld during the extensive renovation. Both families were involved in the design process and thankfully chose neutral modern finishes for both the new lower home and the upgrades to the upper original home that ensured consistency throughout.

Driving by this Uplands home you would never know the patio extension had been a renovation. The elegant and thoughtful design gave the home a new lease on life with an expansive stone patio that wrapped around the home and was covered by a louvered pergola. It became a natural extension to the home’s living space and allowed the family to move freely from indoor to outdoor living year-round.

Client Objectives

Key to this design was to requirement to make the addition look like a natural part of the already beautiful home. The design took cues from the existing building: colours, scale, finishes and proportions were adapted into a plan that naturally extended the patio to complete the space and the home.

Project Challenges

The louvered pergola allows quick response to changing weather, with seating around the fire pit for warmth.The design addressed areas of wear and rot, rebuilding masonry structures and cladding for a robust and hard-wearing patio space. Replacing sod, upgrading irrigation and improving waterproofing and perimeter drainage gave longevity to this renovation.

Testimonial

“From start to finish working with Flintstones was an excellent experience. From the beginning, we were impressed with the way Mike and his team approached understanding our goals for the replacement of our driveway and updating the stone facade of our home. They listened to what we wanted and helped us work through all the possibilities to create a project that fit both our aesthetic goals and the budget.

Throughout the project the team did a great job of communicating what to expect with each phase of construction, anticipating many of our questions before we could ask and promptly responding to any questions that came up along the way. The crew was fantastic, professional and polite, keeping the project moving with no wasted time and leaving the space clean and tidy at the end of every day.

Finally, the attention to detail and workmanship shows in the final results. We are so happy with the quality of work and the integrity of the construction. We’ve been through a few renovations with a few different companies in the past and the work done by Flintstones is the best we’ve seen. It’s been our pleasure to recommend Flintstones to several of our friends.”

Malahat

Status:

Under Construction

Municipality:

Cowichan

Square Footage:

12,500 SQ.FT.

This spectacular custom home is set atop the Malahat on 300 acres of pristine forest. The design captures an old-world European charm with the modern conveniences of a new buildand offers sweeping views of Tod Inlet and the Saanich Peninsula beyond.

Client Objectives

The homeowner wanted a home design that incorporated the European design aesthetic of his family’s heritage with steel and concrete construction. Flintstones collaborated extensively with the architects and engineering firm to meet and exceed the homeowner’s vision. Complete with cornices, chimney caps, quoins, a grand fireplace and timber beams the home has an impressive chalet feel.

Project Challenges

The initial approval process with the Municipality of Cowichan involved a consultative, team-based approach between Flintstones, MJM Architects and Skyline Engineering. While the steel and concrete construction allowed for a unique and specialized design, it required a construction firm that had the masonry skills, expertise and confidence to realize the homeowner’s vision

Wildflower

Municipality:

Victoria

Tackling this steep sloping lot was no easy feat. After extensive consultation with the homeowners, Flintstones created a design that created the connection of both the upper and lower house levels to the pool deck. Entertaining space and flow were paramount with long, shallow stairs that doubled as seating for larger groups of people while the pool deck itself included a kitchen, bar, hot tub and privacy plantings to screen from neighbours.

Client Objectives

The homeowner wanted an outdoor living space and pool area where they could enjoy time with family and friends and knew a visionary design was necessary to not only create an amazing outdoor space but to completely transform their property.

Project Challenges

Our homeowner’s steeply sloping yard was virtually unusable. They had contacted several construction firms looking to create a multi-level outdoor living space and were told time after time that the project just couldn’t be done. This outdoor space was one of the most challenging landscapes we’ve ever had to work with, but Flintstones delivered.
