Renfrew Townhomes
Renfrew is a boutique townhome community in Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood that draws its inspiration from the timeless Belgian Farmhouse aesthetic. The architectural narrative focuses on a "relaxed, down-to-earth" elegance, utilizing a sophisticated palette of James Hardie board-and-batten siding, Schmeare brick accents, and prominent wood detailing. These traditional elements are balanced by modern West Coast features, such as oversized black-framed windows and sleek metal canopies, creating a striking visual profile across the 87 total residences (comprising 56 units in the initial phase and 31 in Renfrew South).
The interior architecture, curated by Stephanie Jean Design, seamlessly continues this European-inspired theme through vaulted spaces and artisanal finishes. Each home, ranging from approximately 1,268 to 1,521 square feet, is designed with nine-foot main floor ceilings and open-concept layouts to maximize natural light. Key architectural focal points include arched entries, checkerboard tiled floors in primary ensuites, and high-functioning kitchens featuring shaker-style cabinetry and classic apron-front farmhouse sinks.
Beyond the individual units, the community's master plan integrates functional modern infrastructure with social amenities. The development includes high-efficiency technical specifications like Navien tankless hot water systems and EV-ready garages. Socially, the architecture extends into shared outdoor "rooms," featuring community gardens and picnic areas that foster a village-like atmosphere. This cohesive design approach has solidified the project as a standout example of character-driven multi-family housing in the Fraser Valley.
