Masoum Mahjoob’s 1980s-built West Vancouver
condo needed rejuvenation. Mahjoob, a hair
stylist, had just paid off her mortgage and
wanted “a fresh and new life—my home was the
first step.” Her condo, home for 20 years, was
dark and cramped. “I wanted something bright,
contemporary, feminine and sleek,” Mahjoob
says.
Full and reflected light were partners in
designer Negar Reihani’s plan. “When Negar
presented the colour scheme, finishes and
furniture in our first presentation, I was thinking
‘I would have never chosen these colours and
finishes’ — but they were all so ME! It was like
tapping into a part of me which I didn’t know
before or creating a new identity,” Mahjoob
remembers.
