One of the most exciting innovations at YPNextHome over the last two years has been creating Neighbourhood Profiles – comprising a wealth of data and information – from across the country. In every issue of New Condo Guide, we’ll show you at least one of these featured neighbourhoods. And if you look online, you’ll find more than 2,800 neighbourhoods you can search as part of your experience on YPNextHome.ca. That’s a lot of information.

Our curated neighbourhood content provides a lively snapshot of some of Canada’s more popular neighbourhoods. These profiles have been researched and compiled by a nationwide team of writers and editors, and they include photos and, in some cases, exclusive video tours with local celebrities and well-known residents. Demographics, housing types and other information... all leading to listings in the area. Check it out and let us know what you think.

TIME’S RUNNING OUT if you want to be part of the

Adagio community in South Surrey. Why? Because most homeowners have already moved into Adagio’s first building and the second building is now 50 per cent sold. “Response has been absolutely amazing — even over the summer when sales traditionally slow down, we were incredibly busy,” says sales manager Sandra Miller. “People are wowed by the aesthetics of the building itself — especially when it’s lit up at night. Over and over, people tell me they were walking or driving past in the evening and our buildings looked so stunning that they just had to come back to find out more. Then, when they walk into the show suite, their jaws drop.”

Uncompromised Quality “Because Boffo is both the developer and the builder, you know they’re going to build every home as if they’re building it for themselves,” Sandra says adding that she’s still surprised by how closely people have being watching as these homes go up. “We have several buyers who’ve worked in the construction industry themselves, and they’ve all commented on Boffo’s superior building techniques and materials — they can see no corners have been cut on quality.” Of course, there’s also the myriad, above-and-beyond details it’s often easy to overlook until you’re actually living in your new home: things like a built-in wine fridge — yes, it’s a standard feature — nine-foot ceilings throughout, large portrait windows and not only a five-burner gas range, but an outdoor gas hookup on every balcony. Adagio kitchens are larger than many single-family homes and thoughtfully designed to bring out your Iron Chef aspirations with state-of-the-art everything — expansive counters and centre islands, 36-inch counter-depth fridge with icemaker, even a side cupboard sized specifically for cookie trays. Sweet. “Plus we’ve purposely designed the lower cabinetry with plenty of extra-deep pot drawers rather than traditional cupboards,” Sandra says. “It means you can access every square inch without having to get down on your hands and knees.” Adagio is also one of the very few condominium communities to include a personal favourite: built-in magic OCTOBER 2 - 16, 2015 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 17

corners. Just last week, I watched as a friend’s eyes practically popped out of her head when she saw how this feature makes it easy to access the very back of that notoriously wasteful corner — you know, the one that’s usually right beside the stove. “It’s just one of the many ways we provide creative storage space,” Sandra says. Spectacular Outdoor Spaces Since Boffo understands that nature is an inherent part of life here on the West Coast, Adagio’s outdoor spaces are nothing short of spectacular. First, there’s the community’s show-stopping central courtyard. “We’ve retained many of the mature trees and added new landscaping with terraces, pathways, even some ‘secret garden’ areas,” Sandra says. “When you open up the door from 18 YPNEXTHOME.CA

the lounge/amenity area, it’s like you’ve just expanded the entire space into a private park.” Still, it’s the private terraces found in Adagio’s second building that intrigue me most. “Many of these patios make you feel like you’re living in a forest,” Sandra says pointing to the surrounding evergreens. “And on a clear day, you can see all the way to Mount Baker.” Community Evolution Amenities are yet another part of Adagio’s appeal, and Sandra is quick to note that these features have rapidly become an integral part of the lifestyle. “I see people swapping stories in the gym or shooting pool almost every day,” she says. “There’s a full catering kitchen — something that’s especially popular with our downsizers who still want to host a large-scale family

dinner. There’s also a book exchange club, a hiking group and every couple of months many of the homeowners get together for a casual social in the spacious residents’ fireside lounge. It makes for a wonderful sense of neighbourhood.” It’s a community feeling homeowners want to share. She recounts the story of one couple who downsized from the single-family home where they’d raised their children, and within a couple of months had referred two friends who have both since purchased homes at Adagio. “Once buyers move in and experience the lifestyle, it’s like they become ambassadors both for Adagio and for Boffo Developments.” Close to What Counts While there’s plenty to keep you entertained and relaxed right at home, when you’re ready for shopping or a night on the town,

Adagio’s got you covered too. “This is an incredibly central location,” Sandra says. “It’s walking distance to Semiahmoo and only a five-minute drive to Granview Corners or Morgan Crossing, but you still feel like you’re in an exclusive, very private, enclave. You can be at the beach or the White Rock Promenade in minutes, and access to Vancouver, YVR and the US border is excellent.” Adagio’s final homes offer an excellent selection of floorplans ranging from 784-square-foot one-bedroom and den to spacious three-bedroom suites with over 1,279 square feet of exceptional living space. Better hurry though, because once these homes are gone, they’re gone for good. Presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 15360 – 20th Avenue in South Surrey. For more information, visit AdagioByBoffo.ca or call 604.531.6659.

BETTER HURRY if you want to own a brand new home at Gemini in South Surrey. Less than 10 homes remain, but sales manager Susan Vollmer is quick to reassure me that these condominiums represent a diverse selection of floor plans and styles. “We still have a great selection of one- and two-bedroom plans — some with wraparound corner balconies. So there really is something to suit every lifestyle.”

Quality to Count On “People frequently tell me they’ve shopped around and Gemini is simply the best quality they’ve found in this area,” Susan says. Ready for a few hints? Okay. Let’s start with stainless steel appliances from Bosch and Fisher&Paykel — now how can you go wrong with a combination like that? There’s storage too — lots of it because Genex understands there’s no such thing as too much space for your stuff. Bathrooms with the same granite or quartz countertops as the kitchen plus some very cool, very different lighting fixtures that reminds me of Art Deco tulips. Each suite has not only a fullsized washer/dryer but that all important linen storage as well. There’s even a

convenient tech nook beside the kitchen — perfect for laptops and iPads. Gemini’s central courtyard and guest suite are also big time hits. “Having the extra space for when family visits is something you don’t necessarily think of until you have family visit,” Susan says with a smile that suggests she’s experienced the challenge before. Location Counts It may be an old adage, but it’s true that location counts — and clearly Gemini is a winner here too. “I’m a five-minute walk to everything — grocery store, Semiahmoo Mall, the library, banks and transit,” says one happy purchaser. “When I lived in Steveston, I had to drive everywhere. Here you don’t really need a car — lots of people in the building don’t own one.” Gemini II’s presentation centre and display suites are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 15310 – 17A Avenue in South Surrey. One-bedroom homes priced from $299,950: twobedrooms from $387,250. All homes are move in ready. For more information visit liveatgemini.com or call 604.536.1663.

LOVE IT OR LIST IT HE SAYS, SHE SAYS Recently, we spoke to Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot of Love it or List it Vancouver, to get a “He says, She says” take on what makes each of them tick in regards to living spaces. By Diane Duflot 24 YPNEXTHOME.CA

TODD JILLIAN

TODD BY LOVE IT OR LIST IT VANCOUVER / PAUL JOSEPH, ALL OTHER PHOTOS BY LOVE IT OR LIST IT VANCOUVER / JANIS NICOLAY

DD: How does budget factor into your design plans? Todd: Budget often becomes a dirty word for almost all of us, but it is the single biggest factor when it comes to renovations and design. I believe you need to prioritize the core elements of the home that add value to a space. Get this right, and you can have fun with pillows and rugs down the road, get it wrong, and it’s lipstick on a pig. Jillian: Staying on budget is a huge deal for a designer, but I tend to focus more on the intimate details of the space and try to save money by finding forgotten gems in the back of a antique shop rather than evaluating ROI. Yawn!

DD: What elements are integral to your design style? Todd: I’m not a knick-knack kinda guy, and in our busy house—with young kids running around—it’s never a good idea. I love practical design elements that are cool and fun, but also durable and low maintenance. I love a minimal space; I hate things on counters for the most part. My kryptonite is sexy built-in storage. Jillian: Clutter is a no-no in my space, but I love incorporating accessories that add personality to a home. A bare-bones house just seems depressing to me.

OCTOBER 2 - 16, 2015 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 25

“Texture, inconsistency and little signs of love.” —Jillian Harris

DD: How would you describe your design aesthetic? Todd: I’m inspired by a contemporary West Coast aesthetic and gravitate towards unique spaces that reflect the environment around me. Exposed wood, stone and natural light add a certain timelessness and warmth to a space. I designed our home with playful elements so every room has an interesting architectural flare that makes for cool unique experiences. Including a climbing wall in the front entry. Jillian: I’m with Todd in that a house should complement the surrounding environment (I swoon over overgrown flower arrangements and tons of natural light), but my style leans more towards clean, romantic and a little bit country.

DD: You’ve both mentioned that it’s important to take account of a home’s surroundings in its interior. Is it also important to bring the aesthetic of the home’s interior into the outdoor living space? If so, how do you accomplish this? Todd: West coast living is all about the outdoors and managing to create a great space that you can enjoy outside is absolutely critical for me. We built a huge deck that ties all the rooms together. It allows each of the bedrooms to have sliding doors, creating an environment that draws us out to enjoy the view and fresh air. This deck serves our family for BBQ’s, dance parties, kids bike riding, sand box, planter boxes, hammock time, and after it’s all done...a soak in the hot tub! Jillian: I absolutely love a home that flows effortlessly from indoors to out. I 26 YPNEXTHOME.CA

JILLIAN

like to keep it fresh, airy, girly and a little bit country while focusing on creating a comfy space to entertain family and friends. My Vancouver house doesn’t offer a ton of outdoor living space, so I’ve made a point of incorporating that vibe into my Kelowna home with a big outdoor kitchen complete with a full dining set and twinkly string lights.

Todd: I like practical storage and I think every house needs a garage and workshop. I’m not a huge fan of the dedicated movie room or the cliché “man cave.”

DD: Do either of you have a space in your homes that you identify as a personal sanctuary?

DD: Do you see the bedroom as an important place to use space, perhaps because you view it as a sanctuary

Jillian: My workshop is my closet! This is probably the messiest room the house and takes a ton of turnover.

little shoes scattered on the floor, the familiar place you sit and drink your coffee, the table you host family and friends. A ‘home’ is a reflection of you and should be personalized with elements that reflect you and your passions.

TODD

Jillian: The story of your life being told through collections of furniture, art, artefacts, fabrics and lighting. Eclectic mixes of the things that make you happy, calm, alive, fresh, mellow and grateful. Texture, inconsistency and little signs of love.

DD: Is being a Vancouverite important to your design style? If so, how?

of sorts? If not, what spaces in your home do you like the feel of a little more luxury? Todd: An inspirational office, a large shower, a king size bed with hotel bedding and a view. I don’t need to waste valuable square footage where I sleep, although I wouldn’t mind a little “sanctuary time” with my wife, if Jill is willing to babysit. If you can find a little spot in your home that is just for you, especially when you live with others, it becomes a little sanctuary.

PHOTOS BY LOVE IT OR LIST IT VANCOUVER / JANIS NICOLAY

Jillian: A small bedroom would just not work for me—my bedroom is my sanctuary, not just my sleeping space, so I need to have enough room for some treasures.

DD: What is your favourite room in your current house, and why is this space special to you? Todd: My favourite space is my office because it is full of elements that reflect my past (show posters, a hockey stick signed by Wayne Gretzky, my first pair of ski’s). It captures the essence of why

“Vancouver is known for open floorplans, exposed timber, wood both outside and inside, flat or somewhat flat roofs. I could go on forever, but growing up here has put this type of architecture in my DNA.”

Todd: Yes! I am totally influenced by my surroundings. I am passionate about west coast architecture, which is very dynamic and innovative especially in the residential market. We don’t have row upon row of identical houses like some parts of the country. I like to try and reflect the dramatic landscape that we build our houses on. We don’t have harsh winters allowing us to introduce tons of glass and incorporating natural light. Vancouver is known for open floorplans, exposed timber, wood both outside and inside, flat or somewhat flat roofs. I could go on forever, but growing up here has put this type of architecture in my DNA.

—Todd Talbot we choose to live on the West Coast and also gives me a space to hide away like a kid in his bedroom. It’s a luxury, but I also love to sit at the desk I built out of reclaimed hand milled cedar. Jillian: My kitchen. It’s basically all we need. It’s where everyone gatherers, everyone eats, its were all the messes are made and the memories are created.

DD: What makes a space worthy of the name “home”? Todd: The people who live there. The

Jillian: I think Vancouver’s eclectic personality totally vibes with my overall love of mixing and matching the old with the new. B.C. is such a gorgeous place to live, and I’m constantly inspired by the natural environment and incredible, creative people that call it home. Love It or List It Vancouver’s hosts, Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot will both be appearing at the 2015 Vancouver Home + Design Show.

Neighbourhood Profile

New Westminster Rich heritage, bright future By Diane Duflot

THE FIRST CAPITAL of British Columbia,

New Westminster is situated on the Burrard Peninsula and comprises the area from North of the Fraser River to Tenth Avenue and the width from Marine Drive to Brunette Avenue. Known affectionately as “The Royal City” thanks to Queen Victoria naming it after Westminster, the part of London that holds the buildings of Parliament. New West is made up of a broad range of micro-neighbourhoods, and 32 YPNEXTHOME.CA

it truly offers something for everyone: from the heritage homes of Queen’s Park to the modern condos downtown. There is a pride of place here, and it’s often said that people who move here never want to leave. Density means accessibility and diversity New West might be considered the poster city for the housing diversity that many Vancouver politicians say the

region needs to adopt to make room for the ever-growing population. The types of home on offer here are diverse. Older apartments are usually the cheapest option, but new condos are still relatively affordable in this city. Single-family homes vary in price, depending on which area of New West they’re in and their size, of course. Queen’s Park and Glenbrooke North can be a bit pricey, but buying in Queensborough will give you more bang for your buck.

This city is home to all types— singles, couples, empty-nesters—but young families are a rapidly growing group, and it’s no wonder why: from splash pools scattered throughout the neighbourhood, to the petting zoo at Queen’s Park, to Motoring Munchkins at the Arenex, New West has an abundance of amenities for tots, but there is plenty of entertainment for all ages year ‘round in New West, too, whether it be strolling through streets in Queen’s Park to gaze at the cherry blossoms from the end of March, the Hyack Festival in May, the Queen’s Park Annual Garage Sale in May or the Sapperton Day Street Festival in June. Walkable and transit friendly New West Mayor, John Coté, who has lived in the city for most of his adult life, views it as “extremely walkable OCTOBER 2 - 16, 2015 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 33

and transit friendly,” crediting recent changes for the positive to “the growth of transit-oriented development in the area.” Since New West is a fairly small suburb, it is easy to navigate on foot (if you don’t mind climbing a few hills), and necessities are close to home in all of its neighbourhoods. If you’d like to venture farther afield, the city is also easily accessible by public transit, and since it’s adjacent to Surrey, Burnaby and Coquitlam, commutes to these cities are fairly swift. A bridgefree commute downtown makes it a predictable, if not super fast commute. Rich history of a former capital Buildings here reflect the rich history of the former capital, and areas are becoming increasingly gentrified. Mayor Coté, who has lived here most of his adult life, has seen “a lot of change in the last 10 years, and significant revitalization. There has been an influx of thousands of residents downtown, and with them has come a new energy and vibrancy.” Mayor Coté sees this as just the beginning of changes to come, noting that “in the future, there will be a great connection between downtown and the waterfront, and a pedestrian bridge will soon connect Queesborough to those areas as well.” 34 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Advice | CONDO SENSE

Easier to clean.

Many of the units available in new builds are small and compact, between 500 and 600 sq. ft. A smaller space is a snap to clean.

Accessibility.

This doesn’t just mean elevators. It also means new projects are located in choice neighbourhoods close to transportation, shopping and entertainment. You can have everything you need, right outside your door.

No maintenance.

And that’s a blessing. Who wants a lawn to take care of or a driveway to shovel?

Condos for the 50-plus crowd 5 great reasons why now is the time to buy new By Marlene Eisner

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

THINK NEW CONDOS are only for young

first-time homebuyers or investors? Well, think again. A 2012 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) study revealed in its 2006 census housing survey that while 17 per cent of condominium owners in Canada were under the age of 35, a whopping 30 per cent were 65 or older. This news is not really surprising considering many in this demographic

have downsized from a large home to take advantage of the maintenancefree living of condo life. But why wait until 65? With so many new projects to choose from, now is a great time for anyone entering their fifth decade to consider purchasing a condo. Whether you now own a large home or you are a dedicated renter, here are five reasons why a new condo could be for you:

Amenities.

Nothing says convenience like a swimming pool, gym, doorman, security and party room at your disposal. And depending on your budget, the sky’s the limit on how many amenities are in your condo — all of which are available to you regardless of the size of your unit.

Affordability.

With such a range of price points, a new condo is an affordable option to finally putting down roots and calling a place your own.

Hot off the web The skinny on what’s happening in real estate in the lower mainland By Diane Duflot

Wellbeing of Metro Vancouver’s aging population vital In about 25 years, a quarter of British Columbians will be over 65 years old. Those who don’t want to drive, or can’t, might consider cities to be the obvious place to live, since they are more walkable, offering easy access to transit, shopping, health care and greenspace. Making cities better places to live for an aging population is a worldwide concern. Not only does taking care of an aging population help to foster the fair and equal treatment of all citizens, but retirees are also important economic contributors in our communities, buying goods and services that help to keep others employed. Furthermore, the aging population has a wealth of knowledge and skills that the younger populations should be tapping into. Keeping the aging population healthy also means lower health costs overall. Up your alley: revisioning Vancouver downtown laneways Downtown laneways are getting a makeover. If you’re used to thinking of laneways as dark, dingy paths that you

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

would rather avoid walking down at night, then you may want to check in with what’s happening with laneways today. The City of Vancouver is encouraging builders to make downtown laneways more pedestrian friendly. Case in point: the new Telus Garden office and residential development, located in the 500-block of West Georgia St., is making the adjacent laneway a more pleasant place to be. Once this development is complete, the laneway will be much more than a space for delivery trucks; instead, it will feature retail space and an art lantern installation. The idea of rethinking laneways as retail space seems a natural extension of their being repurposed for housing throughout the city. Since 2009, close to 2,000 laneway houses have been approved, a number which is certain to increase steadily, as Vancouver searches for more room in which to house its evergrowing population.

Urban rooftop gardens: sustainability is looking up As the interest in living local continues to rise, urban dwellers are looking for a new space to grow food. Enter the rooftop garden. Also known as “green roofs,” these are located at the top of a house or a building that is protected with a waterproof barrier, and they are cropping up in cities across North America. Not only does a green roof have the potential to beautify an often overlooked space and to produce food that the inhabitants of the building can consume, but green roofs can also minimize the effect of rain runoff, such as flooding or even water supply contamination. On top of this, urban gardens filter out pollution, purifying the air, and they keep the roof warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, which moderates the amount of energy necessary to maintain the temperature indoors.

BoC decision to hold overnight lending rate generally

good news for Canadians By Alyssa Richard THE BANK OF CANADA (BOC)

released its regularly scheduled interest rate update on Sept. 9, announcing it would not change the overnight lending rate from 0.50 per cent. With the economy performing better than expected and a federal election in full swing, the BoC opted to leave things as they are and not make any changes for the time being. In the previous interest rate announcement on July 15, the BoC cut the overnight lending rate by 25 basis points. It was the second change in just six months, echoing a 25 basis point cut in January. July’s announcement led to a flurry of activity, as consumers came searched for lower mortgage rates. In this most recent announcement, however, the BoC had a somewhat more positive outlook. A statement from the central bank said “the stimulative effects of previous monetary policy actions are working their way through the Canadian economy.” The BoC also cautioned that Canada’s economic future will be heavily influenced by factors beyond its control.

in China and the growing economic strength of the United States were two major pressures cited by the Bank. Attention is now shifting to the U.S. Federal Reserve, which could potentially raise interest rates in that country as early as this month. Earlier this year, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that the Fed would raise rates in September, but experts are now saying it could be later this year before they pull the trigger. It’s still seen as a matter of when – not if – rates will go up there, and when they do, it will be the first such increase since 2008. The Bank of Canada has said they wouldn’t necessarily follow an American lead, but a U.S. rate hike would have implications on our economy, and would likely push the Canadian dollar down even further relative to the greenback. By deferring any further changes to the overnight rate, the BoC has left itself

For the average Canadian, today’s announcement is generally good news. If you have a variable rate mortgage, your interest rate should stay the same for the time being. Even though the major banks didn’t pass along the entire discount from this year’s rate cuts, don’t expect them to use today as an opportunity to step up any competition. The Bank of Canada’s next opportunity to change the overnight lending rate is Oct. 21.

Arouse your inner designer at the

VANCOUVER HOME + DESIGN SHOW 2015 By Michelle Hopkins

THE MUCH ANTICIPATED Vancouver Home + Design Show 2015 at Vancouver Convention Centre West returns bigger and better. Every year, the show draws tens of thousands of visitors. Most attend to gather inspiration and learn about the newest fall trends in home décor and renovation from interior design gurus such as co-host of W Network’s Love it or List it Vancouver Jillian Harris, and hundreds of the industry’s finest Canadian renovation, decoration and landscaping specialists. Whether you are revamping your kitchen, downsizing or switching up your home décor, this year’s show will enthuse and arouse your inner designer. “The Vancouver Home + Design Show is gearing up for another stellar season,” says Tyson Kidd, show director. “Not to be missed is the return of Game of Homes Vancouver judge Cheryl Torrenueva, as well as a special 46 YPNEXTHOME.CA

one-time-only appearance of Samantha Pynn from HGTVs Open House Overhaul.” One of the biggest trends at this year’s show can be summed up in one word—texture, texture, texture—whether it be in your furniture, accessories, landscaping, wall paint or flooring, texture is by far the biggest craze to hit our shores. “Add texture to any space and any piece in or around your home,” says Kidd. “Finding a wallpaper, blanket, area rug or throw pillow that you can’t stop touching is one of the most satisfying additions to your space.” The Vancouver Home + Design Show 2015 runs from October 22 to the 25 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. For more information or to purchase tickets to this year’s show, visit www.vancouverhomeanddesignshow.com or call 604-639-2288.

New Home Guide asked three guest speakers to provide us with what’s trending right now: » TV interior stylist Janette Ewen and designer/fabricator Jef Hancock, founders of Parker Barrow and cheeky-chic décor aficionados: » Fall and spring 2016 is about bringing a few Miami Beach pops into your décor, whether on a throw, pillows, accessories or on an accent wall. Liven up your space with “winks” of teal and blue. “These Miami Beach hues were inspired by the colours of Morocco and Greece, and work especially well with mid-century modern décor. We also will see more concrete grey in homes.” » Add whimsical/playful accessories to create a cozy feel. Think everything from floating brightly coloured balls hanging from the ceiling to an oversized wing sculpture,

» »

to an old rotary phone and large candelabras. Use your imagination and rethink how an item can be repurposed. When adding conversation pieces play with scale. A hot pink accent wall might seem a bold move, but it works wonders when paired with warm rose gold metallics and generoussized shapes. “The pink rooms, walls and furniture that we are seeing now are revisiting the Golden Girls era but with more of a Santa Fe feel to it.” Brushed warm metallics, whether they are gold or bronze fixtures or a copper hood fan, add personality to your home. Fabrics and prints. A wallpapered ceiling or bold geometric accessory can easily take a space from drab to fab. Example: Lattice wallpapers with large lobster or shark prints are in vogue. “Actress Elisha Cuthbert (of the series 24 ) recently put our lobster print wallpaper in her PEI bathroom,” says Ewen. Layering shades of white anywhere in your home is still red hot. OCTOBER 2 - 16, 2015 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 47

» Incorporating a few edgy industrial elements blend history and hipness even to modern decor. Think Edison-style light bulbs, industrial lamps, trunks or card catalogues. » Ornate double doors at the entrance can be “your calling card to your home.” OR loft or barn-type doors with sliding mounting tracks give separation to an open concept design. » Carpets in large geometric patterns. Christina Dennis, blogger at The DIY Mommy, winner of the show’s Western Canada’s Next Home Stylist competition: » Move over stainless steel! Mixed metals, such as warm tones of chrome, burnished copper and hammered bronze, are the must-have metals. You can include mixed metals into your hardware, accessories and light fixtures. “Brass or copper sinks lend an air of elegance to your kitchen.” » Black or dark-coloured walls in Marseille hues such as burgundy or oxblood. “Where we went for light, bright colours on accent walls in recent years, we are now seeing deep, rich coloured walls.” » Pillows in burlap, leather, faux fur or with words and quotes are easy and inexpensive ways to change your décor for the new season. » Rugs are always in style. “I made a faux cowhide rug from fabric I found online.” » Mixing up vintage with industrial has been trending for a couple of years now and it doesn’t seem to be going out of style anytime soon. » Old doors can be painted, distressed and made into tabletops, frames or pieces of artwork. In the end, it’s all about letting your personality shine.

through: All the designers agree on one thing: If a trend doesn’t reflect your personal style or resonate with your lifestyle, don’t follow it. Your home décor should be an extension of your individuality.

Buyer Profile

Monika and Robin Dream Home at Chroma By Susan M Boyce MONIKA AND ROBIN didn’t realize they

were looking for a new home. They’d recently invested a significant amount of money into renovating the condominium they’d lived in for over 15 years, and now considered it their “dream home.” Confirmed condo people, neither wanted the maintenance hassle of owning a house… and both loved the Guildford neighbourhood where they already lived. Still, every so often they’d still check out the latest new offerings. “It was just something fun and different to do on the weekend,” Monika explains. Then one afternoon, Robin suggested checking out Chroma, a new development he’d been keeping a causal eye on for several months. “I just had a good feeling about it even though it was only half finished,” he says. “Roberta, the sales manager showed us several suites, but each time there were one or two little things that didn’t quite work for us,” Monika says. “Then she took us to see one of the penthouses. We walked in, looked at each other and said: uh oh, we’re in trouble. It was perfect — just what we’d do if we’d designed it ourselves.” “I still can’t get over the 13-foot, vaulted ceilings and the size of the deck,” Robin continues. “We’ll be able to comfortably have 15-20 people over for a barbeque in the summer. We’ve already bought new patio furniture even though we’ll probably have to wait till spring to really entertain.” Monika agrees. “The balcony is massive and the way it’s designed, it feels like we’ve actually got three balconies. We haven’t’ had the space to entertain before, so we’re really looking forward to having friends over.” And there were the serendipitous events that said the universe was smiling on their choice. Their favourite couch fits perfectly 58 YPNEXTHOME.CA

and there’s plenty of room for the new furniture they’re going to treat themselves to. There’s a community garden where Robin says he’ll be able to grown veggies and herbs. And the area rug they wanted but was sold out, showed up as a returned item for a quarter of the original price. “It all goes to show that you should never say never,” Monika says. With moving day fast approaching, the couple are bubbling with enthusiasm

despite being surrounded by moving boxes. “This time in three days, we’ll be sleeping in our new home at Chroma,” Robin adds. “I’m a firm believer that this part of Surrey will be one of the best neighbourhoods. It’s going to be a great move for us.” Chroma is located at 104th Avenue and 156th Street. For more information visit liveatchroma.ca or call 604.581.5399.

THIS IS IT. Your last chance to purchase a brand

new home at The Ridge at Bose Farms. “This is the area’s most popular community and the only one with a true heritage component to it,” says sales manager Nicole Castle, adding it’s also the recipient of three gold 2015 Georgie Awards. “The first two phases sold out extremely rapidly and already have many happy homeowners moved in, so there’s a genuine neighbourhood ambiance developing here.” Now here’s the best part. “Right now we have a great selection of our newest and most popular floorplans — over three dozen in total — available in our fourth and final phase. But not for long — this really is your last chance to choose your colour scheme and decide whether you prefer a view of the historic, 12-acre Bose Forest Park, the community’s Historic Courtyard, or the spectacular sunsets over the ALR land to the west. And once these remaining homes are gone, they’re gone for good.” Many buyers, she adds, say they appreciate being able to secure the exact home they want at today’s interest rates and still have plenty of time to sell their current home or save more money toward the down payment before they move in early in the new year. 60 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Celebrate the Harvest and Taste The Ridge Lifestyle If you love a good party — and let’s face it, who doesn’t? — be sure to mark Saturday, October 10th on your calendar because that’s the date of the Annual Harvest at The Ridge.

Inspiration | DESIGNER ADVICE

BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER

By Evelyn Eshun | Photos by Arnal photograpy

LUXURIOUS LIVING is typically defined by the size of the home. However, without function and personal style, that big space is just that, a big space, rather than a home that provides you with easy living and style. The answer to crafting a luxurious and chic home is not size; it’s about utilizing your square footage as efficiently as possible. Tricks of the trade will get you on your way to feeling comfortable, rather than cramped. Life as a designer always involves creating spaces that improve our clients’ lifestyle, in either renovation or decoration projects. Carefully listening to the personal lifestyle needs of each client is key to creating a successful interior. Here are some ideas for optimizing your home’s functionality. Planning around the daily activities of your life and including items that will function for you is the key to making your space work. If you’re an avid book reader or collector of items, you can tuck a TV into a bookshelf and opt for a large side table or coffee table with a shelf underneath that can house magazines and remotes rather than bringing a media cabinet into the picture. In the image shown, we created a den/home office for our condo client with a custom-designed, builtin housing a desk, drawers, shelves, 62 YPNEXTHOME.CA

a television and even a hidden closet behind one of the bookshelves. Measure, and measure again, before you go shopping, and don’t give in to that oversized contemporary sectional that will overtake the space. The contemporary styles that are trending these days are often too low and too firm. Keep in mind that this piece should look good, but it needs to be comfortable. On a sofa with a seat height less than 19 inches, a tall man

may have difficulty getting up; these are ergonomic basics that will determine the comfort level of your sofa. There is always hidden storage space that can be found. The bench in the photo has a six-foot pullout drawer that was designed to hold our client’s tablecloths, etc. The clever use of mirrors and reflective furnishings will expand the space, reflect light and add visual interest. Think beyond the wall when looking for

MORE INSPIRATION ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/inspiration

places to add mirrors. Consider mirrored furniture, kitchen backsplash, a panelled wall of mirrors in a tight entry area. Feel free to place furniture in front of mirrors and use the walls opposite or adjacent to windows to bring in light. Double-duty furnishings that can store your things will help keep the area clutter-free, which is probably the first tip to living well in a small space. After all, no matter how large a home is and how many smart storage solutions you incorporate, there never seems to be enough space, so honestly evaluate your belongings and make the decision to keep only what is meaningful and functional or you will be overrun with useless items that are taking up space. Consider adding floor-to-ceiling

panelling to your space and paint it all the same colour (including the baseboards). This is a great way to add architectural detail. One of my design beliefs is that if a room is beautiful ‘naked,’ meaning without any furnishings or accessories, you’ve already got a leg up to a stylish room. Lastly, consider using a small amount of large items and pattern — but just a dash. An oversized colourful canvas and geometric rug can bring a spot of chic to any space, but when you have a small space, it is a bold gesture, which brings personality and style to a room. Space-enhancing visual tricks are fun to use, but it’s the functionality that brings easy living to your home, which in turn, will pamper you with luxury and comfort.

Tips Tips Invest in the highest quality upholstered furnishings you can; the longevity and comfort will bring luxury to your home Do not buy a ‘sofa set.’ You’re better off buying two sofas or two loveseats rather than a sofa and a loveseat Keep your dominant surfaces light to brighten and lighten the mood (sofa, walls and floors) Floor-to-ceiling shelving adds storage and visually gives the illusion of height Hang your draperies close to the ceiling; this gives the illusion of a higher ceiling Eliminate the feeling of ‘bland’ with patterned pillows and blankets in punchy colours Furnishings with interesting shapes and finishes will double as art and express your personality

Advice | CONDO STYLE

Make your condo unique By Jennylyn Pringle

CONDO LIVING, for the most part, is small-space living. Take the time to really think about your space, your needs and how you live so you can make sure that your furniture and accessories work for you. Smart planning is the key to smallspace living, and having pieces that are multi-functional is essential. Measure, measure, measure. Make sure your furniture fits not only in the space but through doorways, stairwells, hallways and in the elevator. Smaller-scale furniture is a fantastic option for small spaces and nowadays many stores cater to condo size living with fabulous style. Upcycling isn’t just a trend, it’s quite practical when looking for something “new.” Look for pieces in vintage and antique shops, or even your parents’ basement, as the scale of older furniture is generally smaller and ideal for condo living. Don’t think of vintage pieces as

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

a downgrade — older furniture is often much more solidly constructed and is made out of quality materials you just can’t find at affordable prices today. As a bonus, your furniture will be unique and something you won’t see in the condo above or below you. If your vintage pieces are looking a bit outdated, refreshing them with Fusion Mineral Paint is a great way to alter the character of your piece. You can make something old-fashioned look modern and create a burst of colour to accent your space, or you can take something average and add layers of paint, antiquing and distressing it to make it look like a rare antique find. Condo living does not often afford

the luxury of prepping and painting your furniture outside. When working in smaller spaces, you want to minimize your exposure to harsh chemicals. Fortunately, Fusion is a zero VOC and offers exceptional adhesion requiring minimal prep, meaning that it is safe to use inside without dealing with harsh chemicals or smells. Choose a paint palette for your space that includes walls, furniture and fabric. If you’re trying to unite a bunch of mix and match pieces, consider a monochromatic colour scheme. Opt for several shades of white and cream or even greys for a subtle, sophisticated and elegant effect. Painting can often be intimidating, but can be as simple as a one-step process using a paint with a built-in top coat. This chair was outdated, upholstered and dark looking. We lightened it up with a coat of Fusion paint using the colour Champlain, a perfect off-white with just a hint of yellow and grey. A neutral fabric to replace the floral pattern gives this outdated chair a completely new look that is now repurposed, perfectly modern vintage chic. Try painting some interesting lamps you find at a bargain store. The paint will give something mass-produced a more unique artisanal quality as lighting in condos tends to be boring and standardissue. Paint is a great way to transform a condo kitchen — if you’re downsizing, say from a historic home to a modern ‘box in the sky’ condo, you may miss some of the homey touches you’re leaving behind. Why not paint and glaze the dark outdated cabinets in your kitchen to create a farmhouse feel or something coastal or French country instead? It will really make the kitchen feel like the heart of the home and help your condo stand out from the rest!

As the President of Homestead House Paint Co., Jennylyn Pringle is the visionary and creator of the Fusion™ brand. Her parents (Scott and Loree) bought the little paint company in 1989 and enlisted Jennylyn from the age of five to pitch in. Homestead Paints uses only high quality ingredients in the manufacturing process.

Alfa

Step Forward: Be Connected

POISED TO OFFER a stellar combination of connectivity, iconic design and proximity to a diverse array of urban amenities, Alfa is now wowing savvy homebuyers in Richmond. Alfa’s architecture is immediately eye-catching — ground level retail, two levels of parking punctuated by dramatic vertical accents, plus a resident’s only, rooftop terrace sure to rival the many municipal green spaces nearby. All this, plus easy access to the best of downtown Richmond’s ever-expanding urban amenities. “The quality of this location is unbeatable,” says sales manager May Lai. “You’re just a couple of blocks from transit and shopping without being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle. You can be at the airport or on the freeway south to the border in no time, and there are schools at all levels nearby.”

Style to Savour Inside, Alfa is clearly a tribute to contemporary living. Every kitchen — from one-bedroom to family-friendly three-bedroom homes — includes an integrated wall oven with microwave above, extradeep pot drawers below a four-burner gas cooktop and slim-profile hood fan. Centre islands with eating bar become an ideal spot for casual entertaining or simply hanging out with the family during meal prep. Naturally, ensuites are luxurious — spa-style retreats featuring handheld shower wand in addition to the ceiling-mount rain showerhead, floating vanity with under cabinet lighting and the rich texture of marble counters. “Most of our buyers are end-users who will live here or parents who are helping

their children purchase a first home,” May says. “It’s going to create a very vibrant, engaged community.” Green Living by Design And here’s a final bonus. In addition to the sheer good looks of environmentally friendly green roofs, Alfa features a state-of-theart geothermal heating and cooling system. Translation: these homes aren’t just good looking, they’re easy on the environment and your pocket book as well. Alfa will be located at Buswell Street and Anderson Road. Presentation centre now open at 6940 No. 3 Road. One- to three-bedroom homes priced from $339,900. For more information visit liveatalfa.com or call 604.276.2532.

Mikey Young At Heart APP can save lives By Marlene Eisner THE NEW MIKEY YOUNG At Heart APP is an educational program that teaches life-saving skills through informational videos on how to perform CPR and use a MIKEY (Automatic External) defibrillator. These skills can increase the odds of survival for a Sudden Cardiac Arrest victim by up to 75 per cent. The free APP is named for an initiative of The Mikey Network, a registered charity established in 2003 by Heathwood Homes and The Heron Group of Companies. The Network has placed more than 1,850 automated external defibrillators called MIKEYs in public places, and to date, 27 lives have been saved because a MIKEY was on hand.

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

The Mikey Network is offering students to earn high school volunteer hours; students can download the app, watch the videos, learn how to use a MIKEY defibrillator, then take quizzes that earn them volunteer hours when completed. Students can also sign up to be a Mikey Young At Heart Program Ambassador at their school. Sudden Cardiac Arrest can happen to anyone of any age, anytime, anywhere, and unless the person is resuscitated within a few minutes, there is little chance of survival. Nearly

7,000 incidences occur in Ontario each year, mostly in public places, and many to otherwise healthy young people. The Mikey Network places MIKEY defibrillators to offer people who collapse outside of a hospital setting a second chance at life. It’s easy to make a life-saving difference. All it takes is a little time and attention. Visit mikeynetwork.com to register, or download the APP for free to a smart phone, tablet or computer via the Apple Store or Google Play.
