Custom Home Renovation
Private Client
Originally a loft studio with a warehouse-like aesthetic, the “Powell St” project is a remarkable transformation into a modern 2-bedroom condo, expertly renovated by MDM Harp Contracting. This renovation embraced the industrial charm of the original space while introducing modern comforts and a functional layout.
Exposed beams and high ceilings reflect the building’s warehouse origins, giving the condo an open, airy feel. MDM Harp Contracting worked to maintain these authentic elements while reimagining the space to include two spacious bedrooms. The renovation emphasized creating a bright, open living area that flows naturally into the updated kitchen and dining spaces, offering a perfect balance of industrial style and contemporary living.
Wood floors were installed to warm up the space, adding a natural contrast to the raw, industrial elements. Clean white walls and modern fixtures further enhanced the loft’s sense of openness, while the newly designed bedrooms offer privacy and comfort without compromising the condo’s open-concept roots.
This renovation showcases MDM Harp Contracting’s ability to honor a building’s history while upgrading it to meet the needs of modern living. “Powell St” is now a sleek and functional 2-bedroom condo, combining the best of its warehouse past with the sophistication of contemporary design.
We offer a wide range of services for custom home building and commercial renovations, from concept to completed construction. MDM Harp Contracting is your one-stop shop for all your building needs, making the process more convenient and efficient for you.
We recently renovated our 1961 Vancouver Special to a bright, modern craftsman home with all the latest amenities and comforts after employing MDM Harp Contracting. It was a big undertaking to transform our living space into a place that we are pleased to show to all our friends.
We are extremely impressed with MDM Harp Contracting’s workmanship, attention to detail, integrity and highly recommend them for any renovation. Evan has excellent communication skills with everyone involved during the project: owners, designers, sub trades and suppliers. He is friendly and easy to talk to while resolving any design issues. He managed to maintain the original budget of the project with no unexpected surprises and skillfully managed the sub trades to coordinate their time onsite when necessary. Evan ensures everything is exactly correct and to our satisfaction before considering it completed.
We are so happy with our newly renovated space and all its comforts. We are very grateful and fortunate to have chosen MDM Harp Contracting and highly recommend them for your project.
Thank you for a lovely job well done
Evan Gallagher was our contractor for our kitchen renovation last summer, which involved completely gutting the old kitchen and installing new everything. We had never heard of a kitchen reno that went ‘according to plan’ - there were always delays, cost overruns, disagreements with the trades, etc. Now we can say we know of at least one!
Our renovation went exactly as Evan predicted it would, and within budget. Evan was always pleasant, professional and punctual. He knew exactly what he was doing and wrangled the trades, making sure they did what they were supposed to do, when they were supposed to do it. When one contractor was unable to delivery our counter-top on time, Evan found someone who could. And Evan is a skilled worker, able to perform some of the work himself and keep costs in line.
We’re thrilled with the end product and very happy we chose Evan Gallagher as our contractor. We plan to use him for our up-coming bathroom renovation.
Thank you for a lovely job well done!
I have worked with Evan Gallagher on both the design and construction of condo & single-family house renovation projects. Evan has extensive technical and practical knowledge of architectural design and the BC Buildlng Code. He has been invaluable in preparing architectural permit drawings and navigating through the permit application process.
As a general contractor, Evan's approach to building is solutions-oriented and he has a keen eye for detail and respect for the design intent. Evan works with top trades and the quality of workmanship is excellent. I would highly recommend Evan for both architectural consulting and general contracting.
