The designs you will see can be awe inspiring. Our Transformations story this issue showcases one of those hotels.

Be sure to stop by the show – you will be amazed at what can be achieved with just 500-square-feet. More on this home can be found inside the 16-page IDSwest Pre Show Feature, included in this issue.

In H&L’s popular Epicure section, we will show you even more great design inside the new flagship Cactus Club Cafe, Coal Harbour – plus, Chef Rob Feenie shares two of his most favourite recipes.

Exclusive News and Interviews Right. Texas hold ‘em.

Essential down-time with the guys

The start of a burgeoning comedic career

Whiskey.

Cigar.

And a $20 buy-in…

Brent Butt, stand up comic, award-winning actor, scriptwriter, and director, can now add filmmaker to his long list of achievements The funnyman who created one of television’s most iconic characters, Brent Leroy on CTV’s sitcom Corner Gas, has wrapped up his first feature length movie, No Clue.

18

Born the youngest of seven siblings in Tisdale, a small farming town in Saskatchewan, around the age of 12 Butt learned how to make himself standout amongst his siblings - by making them laugh.

He honed his comedic chops telling jokes at school and in coffee shops with his friends. “It was a challenge to make my sisters and brothers laugh, but I wouldn’t give up,” he quips. “Also, coffee shop conversations were a great way to learn comedy.”

The popular stand-up comic also credits some high school teachers for encouraging his talent. “My teachers were very open-minded and so instead of making me write a book report, I’d do a radio play …

I’d put a lot of effort into it,” Butt says.

“If I have to put a label on it, No Clue is a whodunit with murder and danger involved,” says the 46-yearold Butt. “I’m a big fan of detective movies and mysteries and it just happens to be funny as well.”

In February 1988, his first gig was during an amateur night at a now defunct Saskatoon comedy club. “It was the best show I’ve ever had,” Butt says. “I was called back for an encore and I knew I’d found my career path.”

Wearing a suit and tie and looking rather serious, Butt invited Homes & Living into his westside Vancouver home - one he shares with Nancy Robertson, his wife of eight years and co-star on Corner Gas and Hiccups, as well as his beloved dog Oliver. “Oliver’s a four-year-old of a million breeds,” says Butt.

At 20, he moved to Toronto to pursue that career. Within months, Butt was headlining at comedy clubs, and after a few years, was touring internationally, appearing at major festivals and on television specials - cementing his reputation as one of Canada’s funniest guys. This year marks the 25th anniversary of his professional career as a standup comic.

shell house 30

Words by Goody Niosi photographs by Nacasa & Partners Inc.

IMAGINE A SEA SHELL – PERHAPS AN ABALONE, A CONCH, OR A SCALLOP. WHITE, FLOWING, CURVING LINES. FORM DELICATE YET STRONG ENOUGH TO BE HOME TO A SPECIAL LIFE FORM. PROTECTING IT AND ALLOWING IT TO FLOURISH AND GROW Now imagine that shell large enough to shelter an entire human family from the elements – a structure that is simple, that is not part of nature, yet mimics nature and performs the functions of a shell. The structure appears in the middle of the woods, as though dropped by a spacecraft from some fantastic science fiction dream. It is not unlike the surrounding caves and rocks and yet it is clearly not organic – and not ancient. It is something altogether unique.

This unique home was created by ARTechnic Architects. Lead architect Kotaro Ide, who established the company in 1994, has been responsible for other outstanding projects in Japan including the SMD House in Zushi, the YMM House in Suginami and the Cherry Terrace Library in Shibuya, Tokyo.

august/september 2013

Within the shell are hardwood and polished concrete floors, elegantly curved walls, round skylights, flowing seating, a round suspended fireplace and a bathroom that is all sensual curves leading to the large expanse of windows that looks out on a tiered patio, which in turn leads the eye back into the forest.

Bryant House

Modern Shelter, Major Style

august/september 2013

The beauty of the Bryant home relies partly in its subtlety.

Quite a feat for a house built in the modern tradition – where oftentimes the focus is on making some grand design statement, rather than creating a home to be lived in

41

Traditional. West Coast. Bohemian.

It doesn’t matter what home decor style you lean toward, mixing in at least one key piece of modern furniture into every room can only enrich the personality of your home.

After all, we’re not one-dimensional, so why should our homes be?

The Fast & The Luxurious 2013’s hottest SUVs

1

2

1 Porsche Cayenne GTS A few years back, Porsche fans were amazed (and often horrified!) to learn that the legendary sports car builder from Stuttgart was getting into the SUV business. Many had to eat their words when the automaker’s Cayenne SUVs started turning track times to match the sports cars and ever since, the vehicle has been a strong seller worldwide. Top Cayenne is the desirable GTS, which uses a 420-horsepower 4.8-litre V-8 matched to an efficient 8-speed transmission. Few SUVs at any price handle as well as this Cayenne - not surprising when Porsche’s racing background is considered.

Having that elegant Porsche shield on the nose of your rig doesn’t come cheaply, of course, and a GTS will relieve you of almost $94,000. A basic Cayenne comes for a lot less.

120

Rover 2 Range Sport Land Rover is still regarded as the automaker that kick-started the SUV business back in 1948, but the latest Range Rover Sport is a far cry from the old “farmer’s favourite.” The elegant and stately Range Rover was completely re-designed quite recently and is now more regal than ever. The top Sport Supercharged model is the performance variant in this lineup and departs a little from the norm by using a supercharger to coax 510-horsepower from its 5.0-litre V-8 engine. The Range Rover’s off-road capability is respected worldwide and even though this vehicle is as luxurious and refined as can be imagined, it’ll go just about anywhere a wheeled vehicle could be taken. Perhaps the most desired SUV on the market, the Sport Supercharged will run you a little over $100,000.

3 Audi Q5 Hot-selling compact crossover/SUV products have been getting a lot of attention from luxury automakers recently and Audi’s offering for eager buyers is the Q5, which is available in conventional and hybrid versions.

Quickest of the Q5s is the 3.0T, which boasts a three-litre turbocharged V-6 with a solid 272-horsepower. This Audi follows current transmission trends by mating its V-6 to an 8-speed and this means smoother power delivery and enhanced fuel economy. The interior is finished to Audi’s exceptionally high standards and like many of its competitors, it’s just as happy on a backroad trail as it is on the freeway. It’s a less expensive proposition than its “big brother” Q7 at less than $50,000 for the V-6 turbo.

BMW’s X5 has long been one of the most popular upscale SUVs around and at the pinnacle of the model lineup is the X5 M performance model. All BMWs are desirable vehicles, but when there’s an “M” attached to the model name, it’s something very special.

The X5 M uses a potent 4.4-liter twinturbocharged V-8 that develops a whopping 555 horsepower. Not the sort of rig you’d take to a Greenpeace get-together, it offers racecar-like performance and handling to match. Off-road, it has the power to get you through the trickiest challenges and back on the highway, it’s limo-comfortable. BMW’s top SUV costs $98,500 and those who buy them think it’s money well spent.

5 Lexus LX Lexus, perhaps unsurprisingly, builds one of the most opulent SUVs available and it’s also one of the toughest and roomiest. The big LX 570 was re-styled recently and now has the bold grille design you’ll find on other products from Toyota’s luxury offshoot. The rather exclusive LX is powered by a mighty 5.7-litre V-8 putting out 383-horsepower and torque to match. And while most luxury SUVs are very trail-capable, this one is better than most thanks to an exceptionally rugged bodyshell and suspension system. When the going gets really demanding, the LX’s nine inches of suspension travel helps out, as does a height adjustment function. The LX’s impressive combination of durability, luxury and refinement can be yours for a price tag of up to $94,850.

6 Mercedes-Benz ML 63 AMG Mercedes-Benz offers SUVs and crossovers in several sizes, but tops on the performance scale is the ML 63 AMG, with all the speed and power the company’s tuning affiliate can deliver. As with BMW’s M-products, AMGs are something special and the engines are hand built, one at a time, at a separate factory to where the vehicles are built. The ML 63 lives up to its promise and uses a silky and powerful 5.5-litre turbocharged V-8 mated to a 7-speed automatic with manual override. The result is 550-horsepower with an available option package. Superbly finished, beautifully put together and proudly carrying the undeniably-prestigious Mercedes three-pointed star, this AMG SUV will run you over $100,000 and more if the options list is fully exploited.

Back to School – Dorm Style Ikea tells us “back to school isn’t just about new courses, new books and new people – it’s about a new room, too. But even if you have to share, you don’ have to compromise on showing off who you are.”

Money Matters: Advice For the New Business Owner Even if you have purchased an existing profitable business, it doesn’t mean you won’t face any financial difficulties.
