Contemporary House Ltd

Chris is an extraordinary artist who's skills have exceded my families expectations. His standard is none other than the highest of levels on the world stage. He is truely remarkable at at what he does, and I will have him back again as soon as we have decided on our next project. Thank you again Chris for all of your hard work, it has paid off emensely!

We have had the pleasure of working with Christopher on several projects.The artistry, expertise and absolute Passion that is put forth in every project is not only infectious but brings a large sense pride to the homeowner and contractor.Christopher and his team completed the Bel caffe 2.0 for Hawksworth a number of years ago and the plaster work still looks as good as it did when it was first applied.I can speak volumes on his professionalism, attention to detail, timelines and end results but I urge everyone to see for themselves.

I can’t recommend Chris enough. He is a true professional and artist. He is skilled in almost every aspect of the building process and is a master of plaster. He is fantastic to work with giving honest estimates and finishing on time. His plaster work is truly incredible!

I've worked with Chris and Contemporary House on many projects in Vancouver through Livingspace Interiors. He holds himself to a very high standard and the finished results have always been impeccable.Clients have always had very good things to say about Chris personally too as he spends so much time in their homes.Highly recommended.

Chris is a Master of his trade! A true craftsman! I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for the best in the business!

“Artistry is the synthesis of piercing vision, prophetic scope, mastery of material, and command in execution. Christopher Knell of Contemporary House is the distillation of all these assets. From initiation through to completion, Christopher Knell brought everything within him to truly create a unified and seamless show piece that dramatically transformed the retail storefront while adhering to the minimalist design intent. I had the honour to witness and be educated by this artisan which will always be imprinted in my memory. There is without a doubt that Christopher Knell is passionate about his craft, the people he connects and works with, and the development of venetian plaster as a paramount finish and language in our developing interior landscape.”

Contemporary House has completed a number of jobs for our interior design firm and our clients are always happy with the outcome! We especially love the less shiny concrete finish that inspires a New York loft feeling. Mixing different shades to create a beautiful wall finish for fireplaces and feature walls - adding warmth, texture and a lot of depth to a space. Chris is polite, welcoming and a breeze to work with.Look forward to the next project!
