An NHL player traded to Vancouver had a hard time finding a rental that had any sign of life, let alone any sign of comfort of welcoming.

With strong ties to both Vancouver and Switzerland, living locally during the hockey season and travelling during the off season, when it came time to leave Vancouver, the couple decided to convert the space into an executive rental that’s been the home to other NHL athletes and high profile actors visiting Vancouver on short and long term movies and TV shows.

 
The living room of the Beatty Loft has a large, sectional couch with grey cushions. It sits facing the tv under the exposed loft ceiling of the apartment.
Black pendant lamps hang from the ceiling throughout the living room.
3 vertical windows line the brick wall to the right of the sectional couch. The length of the couch can be seen with decorative pillows and a wool grey rug under the coffee table
The kitchen has a cement countertop, large french door fridge, microwave and dishwasher
Walking up the stairs there is a gallery wall of framed prints and pictures on the right hand side. A metal bannister lines the wall on the left.
Looking at the bedroom from the other side of the top floor the glass balcony railings create a rectangular shape and reveal the first floor of the loft
A larger view of the brick wall with shelving can be seen - including the record player and speakers and wooden beam on the ceiling
To the left of the bed is a small desk and white chair with a large Stendig wall calendar and green lockers
Looking straight on at the bed the wood panel wall can be seen with closet area to the left and brick wall to the right.
To the right of the bed a room spray and framed print sit on the shelf
 
Behind the couch the dining table and bar area can be seen. Mirrors line the wall and windows are seen to the left.
Looking down from the loft area into the living room, the section couch can be seen as well as the tv and media unit, coffee table and wooden stools. The floor is hardwood.
Looking towards the far windows the dining table can be seen with a fur rug on the chairs. The bar and glasses are alongside the right of the room with black cabinetry
In the kitchen of the Beatty Loft in Vancouver the hardwood floors continue and a long wooden beam can be seen. White cabinets line the wall and the kitchen island.
From a lower view of the kitchen the oven can be seen as well as a decorative, striped rug
Looking back down the stairs the entry area can be seen as well as the top floor of the loft, where the closet lives
To the side of the bedroom space is a wall of shelving with books, trinkets and a record player. Vintage ice hockey boots hang on the wall as a decorative item.
On a wooden shelf sits colourful books and a leather caddy holding a blanket
Behind the bed slatted wooden panels act as a headboard. A built-in black lamp and floating nightstand shelf sit either side of the bed.
Looking straight at the desk area you can see a laptop, the white chair and a collection of books
 
Looking through the grey couch the brick wall of the living area can be seen as well as some of the top floor of the loft which has glass walls.
Old fashioned glass decanters sit on the bar
At the back of the dining area more black cabinets and shelves store trinkets, books and coffee paraphernalia
The kitchen island of the Beatty Loft also has a cement counter, and includes a gas stove and ceiling fan. To the right black bar stools can be seen and a brick wall at the back of the kitchen.
In an entry area of the hallway a grey, plush bench sits beneath a circular mirror. Hooks and storage baskets are around the mirror and bench.
The bedroom is along one side of the loft area with a large wood panelled wall acting as the headboard
Layers of pillows in grey, black and white decorate the bed
A thick black blanket sits on the corner of the bed. Wooden beams frame the closet area next to the desk
A framed print says "Messy Bun & Getting Stuff Done"
