1st Place 'BEST INTERIOR DESIGN' Northwest Design Awards Patricia Gray Inc.

Thank-you Northwest Design Awards! It is an honour to be awarded 1st PLACE for 'Best Interior Design' for the renovation and furnishing of our condominium project at Bayshore Towers in Vancouver. http://www.patriciagrayinc.com/projects/bayshore.php

1st PLACE for 'Best Interior Design' Patricia Gray Inc.

Patricia Gary Inc. worked closely with the client and General Contracter on this design-build renovation project, from architectural working drawings right through to completion and custom furnishings and artwork throughout by Patricia Gray. 

Custom leather swivel chairs by Patricia Gray Inc. The clients' Noguchi coffee table was re-purposed as an end table, signature lighting fixture from Spain and a beautiful view makes the perfect corner for morning coffee and reading the newspaper.

The space where the sofa sits was previously an unused guest bedroom. By removing the wall between this room and the before cramped living room, we were able to double the living space and increase the outstanding view of the Lions Gate Bridge, Stanley Park Marina and West Vancouver mountains.

Master Bedroom with leather padded headboard, waterfall walnut millwork and night tables with LED lighting. Motorized roller shades and motorized draperies are just some of the touches in this room. A flat screen TV and sound system are located on the wall opposite the bed.

This custom kitchen was designed and custom built for our clients to their requirements. She is a trained chef who likes to have all the tools of her trade at hand, but with a clean modern aesthetic. — at Bayshore Towers, Vancouver.

The backsplash is marble and glass tile. A tower pull out pantry on the left accomodates cooking and food items. Sub Zero refrigerator. There is a wine cooler under the island. Pull out cupboard for tray storage. All the storage requirements for a chef kitchen.

Dining with style... Patricia Gray Inc.

Walk-in master closet with LED lit mirror. Sliding sand blasted glass door.

Patricia Gray 'TAKING IT OUTDOORS' The Vancouver Sun

Interior designer Patricia Gray has two decks, which she has done up as outdoor living spaces: one for lounging and the other for dining. The Vancouver Sun, Business Section. 

TAKING IT OUTDOORS
New fabrics, products fuelling trend to expand livable space.

"A lot of clients are downsizing from houses and moving downtown, so they don't have yards," said Patricia Gray of Patricia Gray Interior Design, who specializes in downtown condos. Greater product range and lower prices for outdoor heating units have helped extend usability into cooler weather, and advancing textile technology means beautiful fabrics including weather-resistant velvets and chenilles are now available for outdoor use. "If you're spending on average $1.000.00 a square foot to live downtown for indoor space, a 100-square-foot deck... equates to $100,000.00 of real estate," Gray said. "You're furnishing your million-dollar condo beautifully. What are you going to put on the deck? Rubbermaid? No."

Gray who has been in business for 33 years, says requests for outdoor design have increased "exponentially" during the last five years. She believes the driver has been a combination of high real estate prices along with increased technological sophistication in out-door fabrics.

Because the price for real estate is so high, this makes economic sense," Gray said. "We've got these fabrics now and some are beautiful enough, we use them for indoors. I'm upholstering (indoor) sofas in them for clients who have dogs and kids. They're like chenilles and velvets but you can hose them down."

Clients will spend $20,000.00 on an outdoor fireplace, electric heaters, seating and artificial grass.

"We did a beautiful balcony for clients where we put down artificial grass, 20 stories in the sky. He's a golfer and we wanted to put a little putting green up there for him, 20 feet long. We put a beautiful granite bear sculpture out there done by an artist from Whistler. Lit at night. When I do balconies, they are part of the indoors because you are looking out at them."
