Mid-Century Modern Homes — built primarily in the 1950s–1965 era — have specific structural characteristics, permit requirements, and design considerations that require an experienced renovation team.

Understanding the Mid-Century Modern Home

The Mid-Century Modern Home is a flat or low-pitched rooflines, open floor plans, large windows, and indoor-outdoor living. Common in Burnaby’s Deer Lake and Capitol Hill areas and Coquitlam’s Burke Mountain foothills. Mid-century homes often retain original materials — terrazzo, cork, and built-in teak millwork — that preservation-minded owners want to restore.
