Text description provided by the architects. Kirsten Reite and Lance Burger purchased their home in 2008, a condemned 100-year-old building located in Vancouver’s historic Japantown. At the time of purchase, the building had suffered years of neglect and water damage, but Kirsten, an architect, and Lance, a contractor, could see the potential of the building and had the combined skills to realize this potential. The project proved to be a huge undertaking with Kirsten and Lance doing the majority of the work themselves.
