About Us
Transforming Vancouver Spaces Since 1992
Three decades of passion, precision, and an unwavering commitment to quality — that's the foundation of Ambience Development.
The Story of Shlomo Laniado
Since 1992, Shlomo Laniado has dedicated himself to the craft of hardwood flooring and millwork finishing. Over three decades, he's tackled every type of project imaginable — from straightforward laminate installations to intricate one-of-a-kind custom hardwood floors and complete millwork packages.
In 2003, Shlomo founded Ambience Development Ltd. to bring his vision of quality craftsmanship to more homes and businesses across Vancouver. His portfolio includes some of the city's most prestigious residences, world-class restaurants, community centers, and commercial gym facilities.
What drives Shlomo is simple: the satisfaction of seeing clients smile when they see the finished result. He remains hands-on with every project, bringing the same care and attention whether it's a small repair or a major installation. When he's not transforming spaces, you'll find him enjoying the Vancouver outdoors — motorcycling, swimming, surfing, or sailing — with his wife Naama and their four daughters.
