Taking a design risk pays off in a major way for Falken Reynolds Interiors.
The live/work spaces in Vancouver's Koret building were originally designed by the legendary Alda Pereira back in 2006, and at the time the open-plan showers and tubs she chose for the converted lofts were quite progressive, says Chad Falkenberg of Falken Reynolds Interiors.
