EDITOR’S NOTE

RESPONSIBLY REBOUNDING

STEPHANIE MACDONALD EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide EMAIL: stephanie.macdonald@nexthome.ca

As the weather is slowly getting better, our region’s people are gradually and methodically moving forward towards our new future. We don’t know exactly what that is going to look like yet, but there’s no doubt that British Columbia is better positioned than most places to forge a robust comeback, socially and economically.

We’ve had calm and competent guidance from Dr. Bonnie Henry regarding the pandemic; now what we need, according to real estate mogul and condo marketing expert Bob Rennie, is “a Dr. Bonnie Henry of economics.” Can we win the leadership lottery twice in a row? Only time will tell.

In this issue, and the next, we’re featuring stories about how the quarantine has brought new focus on flexible workplaces, and how our reality of working from home affects where and how we want to live.

If you don’t have to factor in a long commute every day, many people are choosing to live farther out into the Fraser Valley, or in communities like Squamish and Pemberton in the other direction. Close enough to drive into the office for a meeting once or twice a week but in smaller communities that are cleaner, greener and more laid-back than the city. And more affordable, too, with larger homes built for the telecommuting lifestyle.

Thanks for picking us up. We look forward to being your guide as you begin this exciting journey toward your next home.

POLYGON GALLERY REOPENS MAIN FLOOR GALLERY ON JUNE 18 Beginning Thursday, June 18, The Polygon’s main floor gallery will reopen with The Canucks: A Photo History of Vancouver’s Team. The rare photos on view span decades, beginning in the 1950s and ’60s when the Vancouver Canucks played in the Western Hockey League, through the team’s franchising with the National Hockey League from 1970 onward.

The bookstore and gift shop are also opening, just in time for Father’s Day.

Bob Rennie Speaks Optimistically at UDI Luncheon The always eagerly-anticipated Bob Rennie Lunch at the UDI, like every large gathering in the days of covid-19, was hosted online this year. Still, almost 1,000 Urban Development Institute members gathered virtually to hear a wide-ranging Zoom conversation between Bob Rennie and UDI President and CEO Anne McMullin. Bob expressed optimism that the BC economy can rebound from the covid-19 12 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

crisis, and explained that he thinks the development and construction industries can be a key element in our recovery. Due to social upheaval in the United States, coupled with BC’s relative success in navigating the pandemic, Vancouver is increasingly attractive to big tech companies who draw thousands of new residents, and the resulting increased tax base and need for housing.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to Ryerson University’s Centre for Urban Research and Land Development, Metro Vancouver is the 12th fastest growing metropolitan region in North America.

Updates for the future of Northeast False Creek

Bonson’s Official Grand Opening MOSAIC continued an already very busy May by presenting their newest community, Bonson, to buyers from all over Metro Vancouver. A community of 95, two- and three-bedroom townhomes surrounded by the stunning scenery of Pitt Meadows in the Fraser Valley, Bonson’s Grand Opening on May 16th attracted over 50 groups of interested buyers, who viewed the presentation centre while

observing physical distancing precautions. MOSAIC’s homes have been moving quickly in the last two months, with over 40 homes sold in May, and ten more in the first week of June.

For more information about all of MOSAIC’s portfolio of stunning homes in Abbotsford, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Tsawwassen, Surry, North Vancouver and Burnaby, just visit mosaichomes.com.

Clyde in Port Moody Opens

by Appointment Starting June first, by private appointment, Porte Living’s latest project, Clyde in Port Moody, opened their presentation centre and kicked off sales for this vibrant new community.

Consisting of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes in the heart of Port Moody, Clyde is

located on St. Johns Street just a short walk to Inlet Centre Skytrain. Every home at Clyde features outdoor space, interiors inspired by timeless Nordic minimalism, and the penthouse homes have their own private rooftop deck, complete with amazing views.

After a pause due to covid-19, the Vancouver Parks project team is restarting the refinement of the two design approaches for Creekside Park north of Science World, Andy Livingstone Park and the Downtown Skate Plaza. This work is steered by the Guiding Principles approved by the Park Board in November 2019 which represent the accumulated knowledge and input of nearly four years of engagement with the Musqueam, Squamish, and TsleilWaututh Nations, Chinatown, the Black community, Urban Indigenous Peoples, NEFC Park Design Advisory Group (PDAG), local residents, and many more park stakeholders, as well as the general public. The current plans include: a variety of terracing mixed-use buildings up to 30 storeys; market and non-market residential uses on upper floors; a new Civic Centre including a Community Centre, ice rink, music presentation centre and a 69-space childcare facility; and a new community plaza and seawall. nexthome.ca 13

A collection of 87 one- to three-bedroom loft-style residences coming soon to Port Royal Village, Aragon’s established 52-acre riverside community in New Westminster. Move-in ready.

Coming Soon. Register Today.

COVER STORY

LET THERE BE LIGHT Light House is a riverfront community more than 20 years in the making. Built by the award-winning local developer Aragon, this new 4-storey building is located within their master-planned community of Port Royal, one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in New Westminster. Light House will offer a range of move-in ready one- to threebedroom loft-style homes, as well as an exclusive collection of two-level Penthouse homes, complete with rooftop patios and unobstructed views of the Fraser River and Downtown New Westminster.

Located on the Fraser River between Downtown New Westminster and Annacis Island, the 16 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

neighborhood of Port Royal in Queensborough is a quintessential West Coast community. It has access to the waterfront, spectacular views, and ample parks and walking trails, which promote an active, social lifestyle year-round.

Downtown New Westminster is only a 5-minute ferry ride away on the Q2Q Ferry, offering local shopping at the Quay and an abundance of dining options, all within reach. This also means that you have easy access to the Expo Line skytrain station, connecting you to Downtown Vancouver in just 30 minutes. And

with the YVR Airport less than a 30-minute drive away, you are connected to everything.

What makes a Light House loft different from a traditional loft design? Typical lofts are long and narrow, while these homes are wide and shallow, flooding more of your space with natural light.

What’s more, these lofts have been designed to help you make the most of your space, which means that not even an inch is wasted.

The result is bright and open floorplans that allow you to get the most out of your home.

Another unique feature of these loft-style homes is their access to outdoor space. With balconies and private rooftop patios of up to 739 sf, you can enjoy the outdoors year-round, from the

comfort of your own home. And as if that wasn’t enough, a 1.7km riverfront walking trail steps from your front door connects you to the area’s network of foot and bike paths, a sand beach, and a lookout onto Poplar Island. Nearby, the six-acre Port Royal park offers picnic shelters, a trellised plaza, playground, and a public dock.

Light House showcases the best of West Coast living.

Although we have been physically distant over the past few months, socially we are more connected than ever. We designed Light House to facilitate this social connectedness through our amenity spaces, which will include a central courtyard complete with outdoor seating and a children’s play area. As well, within the

beautiful central courtyard you will find the amenity building, offering a private gym, party room, and outdoor barbeque area, perfect for entertaining or meeting neighbors.

For over 30 years, Aragon has been building distinctive homes designed to move you forward.

Light House will be their thirteenth building within the Port Royal neighborhood, exemplifying their commitment to the community and building distinctive homes for generations to come. Light House is coming soon, and will be movein ready.

To register for priority access, please visit aragon.ca/lighthouse, or contact the Sales Team at 604.364.7424 for more information. nexthome.ca 17

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

QUEENSBOROUGH – NEW WESTMINSTER

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Nicknamed the “Borough”, Queensborough is linked by the Queensborough Bridge, in the former capital’s southernmost neighbourhood. Its boundaries are the mighty Fraser River, Salter Street to the east, South Dyke Road and Annacis Channel to the south, and Boundary Road to the west.

LIFESTYLE

No longer the shy younger sister of the Royal City, Queensborough is a vibrant and active community.

Inspired by New Westminster’s heritage and diversity, this well18 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

established enclave is undergoing a growth spurt; yet manages to retain its small-town charm.

VIBE

As a popular neighbourhood for growing families, it is a tightknit community with an active residents’ association. It boasts many great parks, sports courts and playgrounds for families, their children, and pets to explore.

6.5 per cent in Metro Vancouver.

Queensborough has long been a destination of choice for new immigrants, including one of Canada’s oldest Indo-Canadian communities. This was also where many Italian-Canadians settled in the 1920s, and the area was home to Japanese and Scandinavian fishing settlements prior to World War 2, along with Chinese market gardens during the early 20th century.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

Between 2011 and 2016, the population grew by 22.5 per cent to 8,727 residents, compared with

QUEENSBOROUGH COMMUNITY CENTRE As the hub of this community, the centre boasts a library, police work spaces, multi-purpose rooms, an expanded fitness centre, a licensed child care for children three- to five-years old, a community kitchen and a living room with a fireplace.

It’s a place where friends can meet and hang out!

stunning redeveloped waterfront area, featuring a community garden, a river trail system, and its ‘piece de resistance,’ the park itself.

PLANES. TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Getting in and around has never been easier. Queensborough is a mere 20-25 minutes away from the Vancouver International Airport; while transit options for residents include TransLink bus service connecting the neighbourhood to the 22nd Skytrain Station. For drivers, the Queensborough Connector takes you to Richmond, the US Border, Burnaby and Vancouver.

REAL ESTATE: (NEW BUILDS)

Between 2021 and 2031, Queensborough is projected to add 913 new housing units and welcome 2,461 new residents.

There has been a lot of new, family-friendly builds, over the last five years, Queensborough has seen 534 multi-family (i.e., apartment or townhome) units built. Two of note are Aragon’s newest community, Light House, a contemporary collection of one to three-bedroom loftstyle residences in Port Royal Village, and the revitalization and conversion of the historic Old Slovak Hall into townhomes – which will preserve many of its heritage features.

RYALL PARK Ideally situated in the heart of this neighbourhood, Ryall Park offers everything the outdoor/ sports enthusiasts and young children love – a playground and spray park where children of all ages splash, jump and squeal with delight, a well as trails, tennis courts, soccer field, baseball diamonds and picnic tables. nexthome.ca 19

ADVICE | INDUSTRY INSIDER

THE MULTI-FAMILY MARKET EVOLVES FOR

CHANGING TIMES SCOTT BROWN

Thanks to Dr. Bonnie Henry and her leadership, we frankly have been relatively fortunate in BC. Of course, for those grieving the loss of a loved one there is not much solace in the flattened curve.

Regardless of the progress, there may not be a “getting back to what 20 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

was normal” regarding the precoronavirus market. So, we have ceased using the word ‘normal’.

It has not been easy quelling the desire for “getting back to normal” and the false security that promises, but we must.

As I contemplate the remainder of 2020, the difference between the words ‘fad’ and ‘trend’ came to mind. It is common to use these words interchangeably.

They are not. Fads are short-lived and trends have longer-term

implications. COVID-19 fads may include: increased drive-in theatre attendance; accelerated at home liquor consumption; concentrated hoarding of commodity items such as toilet paper and flour, etc. Trends may include: decreased levels of international travel; continued levels of home cooking and baking; increased desire for lower-density living in terms of neighborhood and housing, desire for more space at home; and “telecommuting,” or working from home.

“

According to CTV News, 65 per cent of Canadians working from home would like to continue doing so post-COVID in some capacity.

”

Since “telecommuting” came into prominence in the pre-Internet 1970’s, I see it as a dated term. In the UK, it is now referred to as “mobile” or “remote” work. Simply put, it is a work arrangement in which employees do not commute or travel to a primary central place of work. According to a Reuters poll, approximately “one in five workers around the globe, particularly employees in the Middle East, Latin America and Asia, telecommute frequently, and nearly 10 per cent work from home every day. It would appear that, this is trend that is not going way post COVID-19, and North America is basically catching up. Thus, it is my view that the very nature of work life and home life is being shaped before our eyes, and this will have lasting implications. According to CTV News, 65 per cent of Canadians working from home would like to continue doing so post-COVID in some capacity. Sounds like I am not alone in this view.

The first-time buyer, investor, and downsizer exodus or “flight to affordability” has been a trend in the new multi-family market for the past decade.

This trend is now expected to further accelerate

as employees have less pressure on them to make commute time and “transit accessibility” the primary driver of their housing decisions. Of course, many will continue to live in central areas like downtown Vancouver, but many will also find their housing needs have changed. Living close to work every day is no longer worth the cost. In addition, select employers may elect to reduce the cost of the central premises and opt to establish cost effective, smaller yet spacious office hubs throughout the region and promote continued working from home.

Remember, real estate is considerably less expensive in the suburbs/Fraser Valley and will continue to be so, and multi-family homes there tend to be relatively more spacious. This trend, combined with construction of roads and transit improvements, will make the central offices more accessible when needed.

In conclusion, in a similar bent to the BC Real Estate Association, we project that the market will not fully recover in 2020, but buyers will be active and up to 50 per cent of the market losses in the second quarter of 2020 will be restored, provided a second wave is avoided. If we listen to Dr. Henry, even when the numbers want to tell us to relax, all will be relatively well.

FEATURE

COMMUTING LESS? MAKE YOUR DREAM MOVE TO THE COUNTRY!

by STEPHANIE MACDONALD

It’s not overstating things to say that the world has been forever altered by the covid-19 pandemic, as it has been by many events over the history of people on this planet. Yet, humans are defined by the ability to adapt and thrive, despite the challenges thrown our way. One of the things that the pandemic has changed for many people, is that they no longer have to go into the office or their place of work five days a week to get their job done.

24 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

Working from home more can benefit the environment, by having less people in cars; society, by having less people close together potentially transmitting illness; and it can definitely improve people’s lifestyles, as workers who were once confined to the city are now able to get more space for less money, by moving farther out into the country. It would appear that many people are taking advantage of this opportunity to live a more

pastoral existence, or at least live in a larger space in a less crowded community. Says realtor Steve Saretsky, “Homebuyers are flocking to detached houses further out from the city core, as home buying preferences shift to more space and better affordability. A decision which has been made easier around the idea of working from home more frequently. Indeed, consumer behaviour has changed remarkably in the matter of a few months”.

“This has been an interesting experience,” Geoff Duyker, VP of Marketing at Mosaic Homes, “You really never know how a crisis

Latimer Heights in Langley

like this will affect our business.

The 2008 recession was very hard on our industry, but this time around, the quarantine has given people the time to consider their home environment, and to ask themselves if their current home is really meeting their needs. We sold 40 homes in Tsawwassen, Coquitlam, Abbotsford and other communities in May, and have had an amazing response to our newest community in Pitt Meadows, called Bonson. Pitt Meadows is really a hidden gem, with a very quaint downtown and a small-town feel, and this is really appealing to people who have

realized, because of this crisis, that they want more space, in a quieter community. They want more room to breathe.”

Steven Van Geel is the sales manager at Creekside Mills, a gated community at Cultus Lake, a popular summertime destination, an hour-and-a-half outside of Vancouver. This area is now becoming a desirable place to live year-round, says Steven, “People see the draw of the country lifestyle, and the ability to work from home can make this dream a reality.” Being outside of the city means land is more …continued on page 26 nexthome.ca 25

affordable, so homes can be more spacious, and there’s a big focus on resort-style amenities. Over 95 per cent of Creekside Mills buyers live in the community full-time, working remotely, or are retired.

The community, which is now selling phases three and four, has seen significant interest in the last couple of months. Explains Steven, “People are looking for a change of pace. They are re-evaluating their priorities after being stuck inside, and they are choosing a different, better, work/life balance.”

In Langley, buyers have been flocking to the master-planned community of Latimer Heights, even before the pandemic. But interest has grown since the lockdown, and many of these homes 26 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

are designed to facilitate the new home office. Says BC sales manager for Vesta Properties, Tara Desmond, “With COVID being a catalyst for telecommuting, many of our most recent purchasers here in Langley are now coming from the Vancouver and Burnaby areas. Employers are seemingly more comfortable with their employees’ ability to work productively from home, and we are seeing an increase in demand for homes with a designated workspace area such as a den.

For buyers this has opened up their new home search and with Latimer Heights offering the same urban conveniences of the city is has become an attractive option for buyers who now have to commute that much less”.

“

Working from home more can benefit the environment, by having less people in cars; society, by having less people close together potentially transmitting illness; and it can definitely improve people’s lifestyles.

BUYER PROFILE

JAY DISCOVERS

AMSON SQUARE Jay has a simple philosophy when it comes to opportunity: when you see one don’t let it slip through your fingers.

So when a work colleague mentioned the one-bedroom suite he’d just purchased at Amson Square in Surrey, Jay realized this could be the investment opportunity he’d been waiting for. He and his wife booked an appointment at the recently reopened presentation centre and went to check it out for themselves.

It was Wednesday.

Everything, from Amson Square’s location near Newton Town Centre to the diverse selection of floor plans to the lengthy list of standard features, worked. “It ticked every box,” Jay 28 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

says. As a further bonus, he adds, a top floor unit with “really lovely views” was available.

“I believe that when you see something you like, don’t wait because it might not be there when you come back.” That Saturday afternoon, the couple signed a sales contract and made the down payment on a top-floor, corner unit with three bedrooms.

“We had no worries purchasing during the pandemic,” Jay says.

“My wife works for Canada Post and I’m with a credit union, so we both have stable jobs. Prices were down a bit, making it much easier to jump into the investment market. And since the building isn’t scheduled to complete until March 2020, by then Covid will be over,

and we’ll all be able to see how the new future will roll out.”

Jay hopes his son who is currently 19 and studying at Langara College will move into the suite, but he’s realistic. “By then, he may be in a relationship and prefer to live somewhere else. Either way, this part of South Surrey is developing so fast we won’t have any trouble renting it out. And if the proposed SkyTrain link to the airport does happen, well it will just make everything even better.”

Amson Square’s presentation centre is located at 102 – 15385 – 56th Avenue in South Surrey. For more information visit amsonsquare.com or call 604.372.2510 to book a viewing.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CONDO DOCS

by JACQUELINE MONETA JD AND JAYSON SCHWARZ LLM

New disclosure requirements in the Condominium Act provide owners with more information than ever, but all of this information can quickly become overwhelming. What are all the documents and what do they tell you? The following is an overview of the rules and regulations governing condo living.

CONDOMINIUM DECLARATION

The declaration is like the constitution of a condo. It provides information regarding each suite’s boundaries and share of common expenses expressed as a percentage of the total budget.

The declaration also describes any recreational facilities and how they will be used. It can also contain restrictions on the use or occupation of the units and common elements. A review

of the declaration will tell you exactly what you are buying.

A declaration can only be changed if over 80 per cent of the owners agree to the change. This makes subsequent changes to the declaration difficult and rare.

By-laws can be passed, appealed or amended by the board of directors. Before becoming effective, by-laws must be approved by a majority of the units of the corporation and registered with the land registry office.

BY-LAWS

The by-laws control how condominium corporations are run. They outline the qualifications of condominium directors, their remuneration (if any), and the quorum necessary for a meeting.

The by-laws may also outline when and how the condominium can borrow money. This is important if there is ever a special assessment levied. As an alternative to a special assessment, the condo may be able to borrow funds, if allowed in the by-laws, rather than make up any shortfalls from the unit owners.

CONDOMINIUM RULES

The board of directors can also make, amend or repeal rules. The rules govern the safety, security or welfare of the owners and the property or assets of the corporation. They typically prevent unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of the common elements or units.

It’s common for the rules to prevent owners from renting out their units for short periods of time (ie. Airbnb) or restrict visitors’ use of the common elements. It is also

increasingly common for the rules to limit the number and/or size of pets allowed in the building.

Rules can vary greatly in each condominium, so even if you are familiar with condo living it’s important to review the rules in each building you buy into. They can impact lifestyle choices, which while not legal issues, should be considered carefully as they can have a large impact on your day-to-day life.

STATUS CERTIFICATE

Perhaps the most important document you’ll receive is the status certificate. This document gives buyers details of the financial and legal circumstances for the condominium building. A status certificate will include information regarding increases in common expenses, law suits against the

condominium corporation and any upcoming large expenditures for repairs.

A status certificate will also have information about the individual condo unit. It indicates if the current owner is in default of paying common expenses and if any increase in common expenses has been declared by the condominium board.

While sifting through these documents may seem overwhelming, careful review of the rules and regulations governing your condo could save you a lot of time and unexpected cost down the road. You should also seek the advice of a real estate lawyer and accountant who can point out abnormalities or possible red flags.

Don’t forget the best help you can get is from a real estate lawyer

who understands condominium law. Be careful, and find someone who is knowledgeable and cares about you and your family. This is an important milestone in your life.

Mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (info@schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries.

ADVICE

TEN MINUTES WITH

GRAHAM CARTER

by SUSAN M BOYCE

When Graham Carter, Trevor St Germain, and Patrick Uy teamed up to create Vertex Developments, they had a clear vision: build the best, most imaginative multi-family homes on the market — homes where families put down roots and dreams are realized. This issue, we chat with Graham Carter about selling during the lockdown and creative design in the future.

Q: You stuck to your original schedule and began previewing Hillcrest in April, right in the middle of the lockdown. How did you navigate this challenge?

A: We knew that if we let the

[buying] momentum slow, it would be really difficult to get it back when things do turn around.

So we took a couple of weeks to pivot and went 100 percent virtual. We even worked it into our marketing with a new tagline: buy a townhome from the comfort of your couch. It was actually a great time for us to go this way, because lots of people are now relying on FaceTime or Zoom so they’re already used to the virtual environment.

Q: How did you create a virtual

With a digital walk-through, they can “visit” the presentation centre at whatever time is convenient for them — they’re totally in control of the process.

The downside, of course is that people still want to touch the tiles or open the fridge. We’re seeing a lot of people who took the virtual tour and are now coming into the presentation centre.

sales environment?

Q: Did people actually buy during A: Two of the most successful

things we did were 3-D fly throughs and using Zoom so buyers could interact with our sales team. People like to buy, but they don’t usually want to be sold.

38 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

the lockdown?

A: Yes. We launched in May, and

by mid-June we had three sales — which is remarkable since there are only 17 homes in total.

Q: You’ve said creativity is the currency of success — especially in pivotal times like these. How are you applying that philosophy to the Hillcrest townhomes?

A: This is a very “foodie

neighbourhood,” so we partnered with Chef David Robertson of the Dirty Apron cooking school who designed the kitchens. You need to find innovative ways to differentiate yourself, and I believe this type of partnership is an excellent way to achieve that.

The Hillcrest is located at King Edward and Columbia Street in Vancouver. For more information, visit thehillcrest.ca.

6 WAYS TO USE

BAMBOO

by SARA DUCK

Knixhult pendant lamp in bamboo. $50. Ikea.ca

Are you looking to create more of a “green” home? Small steps such as considering the materials that are used in your decor and wardrobe purchases can have a big impact on the environment and your well-being.

Bamboo-based furniture and clothing have been gaining in popularity these environmentally conscious days because of its sustainability as one of the world’s fastest growing raw materials. Its production into fibres has very low environmental impact, it produces twice as much oxygen than other trees and it’s grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Here are six simple ways to introduce this natural trend into your living space.

TRENDING | CONTAINER GARDENING

Contain your creativity Make the Most of limited baCkyard spaCe with Container gardening

by Patricia Johnson Summers are fleeting here in our Northern part of the world, gone in the blink of an eye, so we want to make the most of that time, relaxing, dining and entertaining in our outdoor spaces. And 42 New Home + Condo Guide | June 27–July 11, 2020

we want to make these spaces more attractive and inviting with comfortable furniture, interesting art and pots overflowing with plants. Container gardening has grown far beyond plastic pots

filled with old standbys such as spikes and petunias and into the realm of the exotic, an art in itself, an expression of creativity, painting with plants and sculpturing with foliage. No yard, no problem,

a balcony will do, containers allow you to maximize the use of space with hanging baskets, wall pots, window boxes or by vertical gardening using vines on trellises. Large space or small, creative containers can fill that empty space, add a punch of colour, provide a focal point and soften the look of walls or fences.

And they’re portable (the smaller, lighter ones anyhow) and can be moved to the safety of indoors to avoid being pummelled by hail or wiped out by frost. No need for weeding or cultivating, just watering, fertilizing and removing dead blooms. And sitting in that comfortable outdoor furniture,

beverage in hand and admiring them of course.

The style and selection of containers available today is boggling but don’t be afraid to think outside of the (planter) box and use whatever strikes your fancy, if it holds soil it can be planted. Drainage is important though, if there’s not already drainage holes in the bottom then you should drill some to allow the excess water to flow through.

Choose colours and styles that compliment your house and garden and group different sizes and shapes of containers together using similar plants and colour schemes in each to visually tie them together.

As for the soil, although you might be tempted to use soil dug from your garden in containers, don’t, it’s heavy, doesn’t drain well and possibly contains insects or diseases, instead buy good quality potting soil. Don’t fill containers too full, instead allow 5 – 10 cm from lip of rim to top of mixture to allow room for watering.

Now comes the fun part, planting. Consider where you are planning to situate the pots and plant accordingly, all of the sun-worshippers together, the shade-lovers for a darker corner.

Combine different sizes, colours and textures together in pleasing combinations. The tried and true formula for successful container planting involves three main elements – the Thriller (a tall focal point plant in the middle of pot if viewed from all sides, towards the back if viewed from one side), Fillers (various sizes and shapes of plants, foliage and flowering, to fill in around the focal point), and the Spillers (trailing plants which cascade over the edge and soften the look of the pot). Cram in lots of plants for a full, lush container.

Contrast fine texture with coarse, use colours opposite each other on the colour wheel for a pleasant

jolt. Although in the past gardeners here tended to use strictly annuals, that has changed. Mix in perennials, then move them to a permanent home in your flower beds in the fall. Use tropicals to transform your outdoor space into an exotic get away with vibrant hibiscus and gently waving palms.

These can be brought indoors in the winter, although it will take some adaptation to the reduction in light. Provide not only a feast for the eyes but a literal feast for the table by mixing vegetables in with flowers or devoting entire containers to edible plantings.

Hang upside-down tomatoes, plant swiss chard to complement some flowers, have zucchini climbing up a balcony railing, plant a small herb garden. Root crops such as carrots and potatoes can be planted in containers as long as they are deep enough. Full sun is needed to grow all vegetables, ideally 6 to 8 hours a day.

Containers require more frequent watering and fertilizing than plants in the ground, hanging baskets especially need to be watered daily or even twice daily in hot weather. Mix slow release fertilizer in with soil before you plant, use a diluted solution of a balanced fertilizer such as 20-20-20, or if you choose the organic alternative use compost tea or diluted seaweed or fish fertilizer.

Contain your creativity, and you can eat it too! nexthome.ca 43

family friendly design

By thinking outside the box, you can re-work your space to fit your modern family lifestyle. Designer

There is something to be said about having an elegant, grown-up home that’s also kid-friendly. Believe it or not, having a sophisticated home that functions for your growing family is achievable.

When developing the design of this four-bedroom family home, I truly wanted it to be sophisticated but functional. With a little extra thought and creative planning, it can be done. Here are some key design tips for creating a cohesive, functional family-friendly home.

Start by re-thinking the purpose of the rooms in your house and change it up to suit your everyday living. It can be a struggle to space-plan your home. It’s essential to stand back and look at how you think you should use the space versus how you actually use the area. These can be vastly different.

As a designer, I often consider changing out the purpose of a room to suit our client’s lifestyle.

That’s precisely what we did for this bright and airy family home. We swapped out the traditional living room at the front of the house for a home office with custom built-in shelves. Many modern families no longer need a formal sitting area.

And although it’s nice to look at, it’s not practical. We added some extra personality by cladding the backs of the shelves in a luxurious navy grasscloth to add depth. The cabinets below can hide toys or board games for occasional play times as well. This small sunny zone is now a convenient place to sit back and read a book or squeeze in a conference call to the office.

Another change you can make is to re-purpose your formal dining

Rebecca Hay explains more.

area. In this case, we converted the dining room into an open space for entertaining instead.

We already had a great eating nook adjacent to the kitchen where the family spent all their meals together. So instead of having a formal dining table that rarely gets used, there’s a grand piano that steals the show. Don’t forget, just because the room isn’t being used the way the builder intended it, doesn’t make it wrong. It makes it yours!

You can also add practical sophistication with a mix of old and new. Get rid of your old, stained college futon! Nobody

wants to sleep on it anyways.

Instead, find unique vintage pieces, so it’s not all big box store finds. By blending these old items with some more contemporary pieces, you’ll make your home feel more curated and expensive!

Sophisticated design is easy, but making it practical can seem impossible. Just remember that family-friendly homes require flexibility. I continually remind my clients that how they think a room should function is not always how it works best. Think beyond the traditional uses for rooms, and live your life by a design that suits how you wish to truly live every day.
