Susan Li and Jason Guo knew exactly what they
wanted when they purchased a lot in the stunning Point Grey neighbourhood of Vancouver in

Henshaw and Joy Chao of the Vancouver-based
architecture firm John Henshaw Architect Inc. to
help them achieve the perfect marriage of traditional and contemporary design.
