Meet the Designers: Chad Falkenberg and Kelly Reynolds

Founded by Chad Falkenberg and Kelly Reynolds, Falken Reynolds is a Vancouver–based interior design practice focused on private residences shaped by the lives within them. Their work is defined by clean lines, craftsmanship, and deeply considered detail—balancing modernity with warmth, richness with restraint, and intention with moments of surprise. Grounded in curiosity about each client’s culture, values, and experiences, the studio approaches every project as a personal narrative, translating story into spaces that feel authentic, contemporary, and quietly confident.

About the Project

In this episode of Design Unlocked, Chad and Kelly of Falken Reynolds take us inside a three-storey Vancouver home designed to feel inseparable from its place and its people. Conceived as a house that could only exist on the coast, the project weaves local material, gentle curves, and architectural integration into everyday life. The result is a home where design recedes into use, and luxury is defined by calm, precision, and approachability.

Quiet Intention

The best design doesn’t announce itself—it operates. In this home, open-plan flow, integrated entertainment, and subtle architectural gestures create spaces that feel effortless. Every detail is considered so that living takes precedence over noticing the design.

Place and Material

Materials anchor the home in its Vancouver setting: stone from Valdes Island, warm wood tones, and finishes that feel natural and authentic. Each choice is deliberate yet unobtrusive, letting the home belong to its place without drawing attention. Subtlety becomes the language of comfort and connection.

Elevated Moments

Luxury emerges in thoughtful, unexpected touches: an oval handrail that surprises the hand, a counter tray that protects wood from spills, a bedside platform that seems to float. Observing how people live allows these details to enrich daily life, making the home both refined and approachable.
