EDITOR’S MESSAGE

As Homes & Living’s new Editor-In-Chief, I’d like to welcome you to the pages of our fall renovation and design issue.

I’m very proud and excited to be joining the fabulous team here at H&L; they all work incredibly hard to create beautiful and informative magazines for you to enjoy—with engaging profiles, mouth-watering recipes, stunning photographs, gorgeous and innovative homes and so much more.

With the changing colours and temperatures of autumn upon us, it’s natural to start thinking about creating the perfect place to settle in for the winter. So it’s an ideal time to be starting on many home renovation projects. Don’t worry, we’ve delved into the subject for you and collected a wide range of design secrets, tips and ideas on what’s hot right now from our industry experts. There’s more than enough information in our Home Renovation & Design Section to inspire you and help you make informed decisions on whether to go the DIY route or bring in the big guns to help you realise your design dreams.

These days—in most urban centres—the move to increase density, the shift from suburban to urban living, and the desire to simplify our lifestyles increasingly brings conversations around to smaller homes and better use of available residential property. Or at least that’s where conversations should go. In this issue of H&L we hope to kick-start more of these conversations with thoughts and ideas from the experts on designing small spaces for full lives; the H&L Laneway Home was conceived to do just this—get people talking.

Sincerely,

Michelle van der Merwe, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

distilled design Timeless Interiors

by Gaile Guevara

When we look at designing small spaces, we re-evaluate the relationship between vertical and horizontal surfaces.

In the last several years the purpose of condo living has shifted.

The desire to simplify life is increasingly common and we see more families downsizing, so interiors are now designed to curate lifestyle shifts from suburban living to urban living.

This condo in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour, a secondary residence for a family of four, showcases our recent efforts on this type of renovation. We gutted the entire interior down to the framing and completely redesigned it, with a new kitchen, new bathrooms and all new finishes and fixtures throughout.

We also re-framed the open den and made it a deluxe den.

I’m not a fan of contrast when designing small spaces unless it serves a visual function, and keeping the interior colour palette quiet means minimal variation between materials and finishes. Painting a single colour on all vertical surfaces created a visually seamless continuation between rooms. To further de-clutter any visual mess, we painted all the electrical and mechanical details (think baseboard heaters and HVAC grills) to match the walls.

O what a house! The O house on Lake Lucerne in Switzerland is a neo op art masterpiece, a head turner, an expression of simplicity and a spacious compound of indoor and outdoor spaces. Above all, it’s a house that embraces its young family and offers a welcoming sanctuary from the demands of a busy life.

Laneway housing can and should represent a paradigm shift in how we live—or so argue supporters of the design concept.

The H&L Laneway Home, built in partnership with Alair Homes and IDSwest, is meant to move that discussion to a position of prominence within the public consciousness. It includes interior design from H&L contributor Gaile Guevara of Modern604, feature elements from Graham Blake of Ital Interiors and work from Paul Conder of Laneway Consulting.

David Babakaiff, president of Alair Homes’ Lower Mainland franchise, recalls having preliminary discussions for the laneway home way back in March 2013.

“This isn’t about marketing for us,” he says forthrightly. “The purpose is to use the house as a starting point for conversation.”

To date, one of the main selling points of laneways has been the idea that they will help make housing more affordable. Typically around 500 to 750 square feet, they can be placed on the previously underutilized lot portions of single family houses; thereby increasing the supply of available housing, helping to ease market demand and bring rental costs down. Or so goes the theory.

The Fast & The Luxurious

Words by Tony Whitney

Auto Trends and Test Drives

FULL-SIZE LUXURY SEDANS Big, Beautiful and Very High-Tech

If you want to see the kind of electronic upgrades family cars will be getting a few years down the road, check out the latest luxury sedans as they are usually the pioneers when it comes to sophisticated performance, handling and safety advancements. Most of today’s high-tech benefits have trickled down from these top-of-the-line cars where everything from navigation systems and lane departure warning technology, to electronic braking aids and stability control, started life.

The other benefit buyers get when they invest in a luxury sedan is a very high level of quality, finish and workmanship.

People who spend upwards of $100,000 expect, and get, something very special in an automobile. Manufacturers like Jaguar and Rolls-Royce still use decades-old techniques to get the very best out of fine veneers and leathers.

High-tech these amazing cars may be, but there’s still a lot of hands-on toil to help craft a level of quality that’s rare in any field of manufacturing.

There are probably more full-size luxury sedans on the market right now than ever, and buyers can pay up to $500,000 or more to get exactly what they want. Many come from Britain, Germany and Japan but there are some great choices from domestic automakers, like Lincoln and Cadillac. We picked six standouts, though it would be easy to come up with 20 or more.

october/november 2013

Full-size luxury sedans have been the aristocrats of the automobile world since the early days of motoring, when wealthy drivers bought a basic chassis/engine unit and commissioned a coachbuilder to take care of the rest—often regardless of cost. Almost invariably, a luxury automaker’s flagship car is a big sedan that showcases its design, manufacturing and engineering expertise.

2 Rolls-Royce 2013 Ghost

3 Jaguar 2013 XJ

The sleek S8 is a performance version of the Ingolstadt automaker’s A8 luxury sedan, and to earn its ‘S’ designation it packs in a twin-turbo V8, developing an impressive 520hp. It’s one of the fastest sedans in the world and carries its cosseted occupants at very high speeds with an impressive margin of safety. The bodywork is all-aluminum and like many other Audi’s, the S8 uses the much-praised Quattro all-wheel drive system for maximum security. With products like this, Audi no longer plays second fiddle to Mercedes-Benz and BMW in the German fullsize sedan stakes.

For many years, luxury sedan buyers have been hankering after a smaller and less expensive Rolls-Royce. The answer is the Ghost—it may cost a little less than the bigger Phantom, but it gives up nothing in terms of the opulence this iconic British automaker is famed for. An elegantly understated automobile, it is superbly built inside and out and uses a highly responsive 563hp twin turbo V8 for performance that belies its stately looks. It may be the least expensive model from Rolls-Royce, but you’ll never believe that once you get in and drive one.

Jaguar is prospering right now, and one of the reasons is the XJ-series of large sedans.

When this car first appeared, it was hailed as a model that could at last go head-to-head with the leading luxury sedan purveyors.

Years ago Jaguar’s slogan was, “Grace, Space and Pace”, and the XJ has that and more. This svelte, all-aluminum Jag comes in several versions, with the top car powered by a 510hp, 5.0L supercharged V8. It’s packed with technological advancements, not the least of which is a rotary selector for the 8-speed transmission that glides silently out of the console with a touch of the start button.

Price tag: around $150,000, with options.

Price tag: $266,000 to $296,000.

Price tag: $90,000 to $130,000 or more.

Bentley 5 2014 Flying Spur

BMW 6 2013 7-Series

It doesn’t happen often, but for 2014 the much-respected Mercedes-Benz S-Class is all new from stem to stern. It must have been challenging to improve on the previous model, but improve it they have. It doesn’t look that different—nobody wants a gimmicky S-Class—but under the skin is all the technological might of the world’s oldest auto-builder. There’s a wide range of models, with the AMG performance variant at the top of the line. Both the V8 and V12 engines will be available, there’s a choice of two wheelbases, and the interior received extra attention to achieve what Mercedes-Benz calls “splendid isolation” for driver and passengers.

The elegant Flying Spur is basically a fourdoor version of the highly-desirable Bentley Continental and has similar running gear.

This sedan is trimmer than its larger stable mate, the Mulsanne, though it offers the same level of luxury and refinement. Like many of its rivals (if Bentleys can be said to have rivals!) it has weight-saving aluminum bodywork that helps keep fuel consumption down to reasonable levels. Power comes from a 6.0L engine with a novel W12 layout developed by Bentley’s parent Volkswagen-Audi group. It puts out a lusty 616hp, which makes the seemingly-stately ‘Spur another contender for ‘world’s fastest sedan’.

BMW’s strong-selling luxury sedan got a major refresh for 2013, so it will be a few years before we see other major changes. Available in a multitude of versions, the 7-Series can be ordered with anything from an in-line six-cylinder to a big twin-turbo V8, and there’s even a hybrid model for the green-at-heart. Noted especially for its small-car handling and agility, this big Bimmer is beautifully trimmed and comes with every imaginable electronic asset—plus a few you’ve never heard of before. All-wheel drive is available on some models and all variants have the benefit of an 8-speed automatic.

Price tag: starts just over $100,000.

Price tag: starts around $246,500.

Price tag: $106,500 and up.

The Vanquish’s soaring performance, meticulous craftsmanship and cosseting luxury are now combined with the pure hedonism of open air motoring to create a dazzling and unique driving experience. Clothed in a suit of Carbon-Fibre, the Volante retains the athleticism of the coupe underscored with peerless indulgence.

The Ultimate Super Grand Tourer has become the Ultimate Volante.
