EDITOR’S NOTE
STACEY’S PICK Magic Mirror In a small space, every inch of wall space counts, which is why I love these laser-engraved mirrors by Vancouver artist (and Western Living Industrial Designer of the Year) Zoë Pawlak: the dynamic, delicate figure and pop of blush transform a functional object into a literal work of art. $1,000, zoepawlak.com

If you’re a long-time WL Condo reader, you might recognize one of our feature homeowners, Ben Leavitt, in this issue. We first featured the Vancouver designer’s home back in spring 2017. His Gastown loft at the time was a riot of colour, pattern and treasures: a giant painting of an astronaut at a urinal next to a picnic table repurposed for the dining room, a wall of African masks hanging above a custom zebra-print bench, and vintage communist propaganda prints and a sculpture of a fire hydrant lining the front hall. But as you’ll soon see, this feature is no rerun. Since we last checked in on the principal of PlaidFox Studio, Leavitt’s life—and style—has changed. He’s moved in with his long-time partner, radiologist Vishal Anand, and their shared space (featured on page 38) reflects a fascinating blend of Leavitt’s playfulness and Anand’s penchant for modern minimalism. (As Leavitt tells writer Julia Dilworth, Anand “didn’t even have any art on his walls” when they met.) It’s not the same curated chaos we loved two years ago, but it’s a home that’s equally inspiring—and a reminder that our personal tastes are in an ongoing evolution. The featured homes in this issue are all about aesthetic adaptation; about embracing change and pivoting to make design fantasies fit into our real lives. We peek inside acclaimed architect Robert Lemon’s own home (page 46), which honours the memory of his late partner, designer Robert Ledingham, while making way for Lemon’s own eclectic, masculine style. We meet a couple who moved into their dream building after years of waiting (page 58) and then dove straight into renovations with the help of designer Andrea Rodman. And as with every issue of WL Condo, we share our favourite organization tips and fresh furniture picks to help you envision your own design evolution. Because no home is ever truly “done,” and no style is ever set in stone. But isn’t that part of the fun?

Make history. To celebrate the homeowner’s Asian heritage, Guevara reframed her silk paintings and strategically placed them to draw the eye. “The dining room was designed with a simple, quiet aesthetic to put the focus on our client’s unique collection.”
Go inside your comfort zone. With only six dining chairs (fewer than what could actually fit at the extra-large table), the table gives guests plenty of room to settle in for after-dinner conversations.
DIVINE DINING ROOMS Warm the bench.

The credenza, which spans 16 feet across the living and dining rooms, is first and foremost a storage unit—but it also acts as overflow seating when the homeowner is entertaining.

Stock the shelves. Open shelving brings the eye up, making the dining room appear bigger than it is, and allows the homeowners to show off their quirky vintage art and ceramic dishware.
Shed a few (visual) pounds. The designers didn’t want the light fixture to detract from anything else in the room, so they chose one with a slim silhouette. “We wanted to keep things simple, airy and open,” explains Hamilton.
Keep it clean. Since the homeowners have young children, the designers selected chairs that are both stylish and functional. “We love how iconic they are, but we also wanted to give the family something that could be cleaned more easily than fabric,” says Hamilton.

THE LOOK: MODERN MAKEOVER Before designer Gillian Segal came along, this cookie-cutter condo lacked personality and style. Now it has both in spades.
Widen your horizons. “I wanted something that had dramatic scale,” says Segal of the light fixture—but she knew a round pendant or chandelier would have drawn too much attention to the low ceiling. Instead, she went for something with more width than height.
Mix and match materials. A contemporary design can sometimes feel cold, but not when you layer in textural elements: the grasscloth wallpaper, metal table base and stained-wood chairs with rattan seats add warmth to this space.
Clear the table.
EMA PETER
Segal chose the glass tabletop for two reasons: first, it gives the room a clean, modern look, and second, it tricks the eye. “Because you’re able to see through it, it visually makes the space feel larger,” she says.

KITCHEN DOS AND DON’TS
The Everything Guide to Getting Organized
From cookware and equipment to food itself, the kitchen can make organizing... agonizing, to say the least. Luckily, less so with these simple pointers. DO: RECONSIDER WHAT GOES INTO WHICH CABINET
Make the most of every square inch with these expert tips. WRITER HALEY CAMERON In an age of prioritized self-care, Marie Kondo swooped in with her decluttering philosophy and taught us that an organized space is inherently tied to our happiness. But is there really a science to the KonMari trend? “Studies have shown that clutter and unfinished home projects are correlated with increased cortisol levels—the hormone responsible for stress,” shares Robert Grigore, a registered clinical counsellor and certified EMDR therapist who practises in Vancouver. “A home needs to provide us with a feeling of safety or security.” There are two ways people will respond if they come home to a messy environment: “They’ll either use their downtime to tidy and clean, which increases cortisol and requires physical and mental energy, or sit in the clutter, which is likely to perpetuate feelings of failure, hopelessness, apathy and powerlessness.” Grigore admits that Kondo is on to something in her quest to spark joy—so how can you bring the same joie de vivre to a condo, where storage space is sparse?
“Make space for the things you use every day by moving things like your casserole dishes to lower and upper cupboards that are less convenient to reach,” advises Sjöstedt.
FIRST THINGS FIRST In his practice, Grigore has instituted the concept of “productive procrastination”: delaying the completion of a large, daunting task by focusing on smaller organizational tasks—like cleaning the garage or finally organizing that bookshelf. But whether you’re organizing to procrastinate or not, where exactly should you start? “From the ground up,” says Nicole Sjöstedt of Live Modern Agency, who, alongside business partner Christina Tan, provides home and wardrobe styling. “Anything that can be thrown on the ground or under the table—kids’ toys, books, that sort of thing—has to get tidied first.”
DON’T: HOLD ON TO THINGS THAT DON’T SERVE A PURPOSE “The best piece of advice I ever got was from a girlfriend who served me coffee using her wedding china,” Sjöstedt shares. “She said to me, ‘I only have so much space for dishes. Why not use them every day?’”
DO: ENSURE THAT LARGE ITEMS SERVE DOUBLE DUTY Bram Sawatzky, one half of Willow and Stump Design Co. (our 2018 Western Living Furniture Designers of the Year), uses the kitchen island as the perfect example: “In a condo, it likely serves as your dining room table, too.” To ensure neither purpose is ever off duty, any storage should still be accessible, even when you’re sitting down for a meal.
DON’T: LEAVE THINGS OUT ON THE COUNTER “In so many kitchens, you can’t see the marble countertops or gold faucets past the coffee maker and toaster,” says Sjöstedt. Instead of a knife block, she suggests a magnetized strip on the side of your fridge.
MASTERING THE MASTER BEDROOM Got monsters in your closet or under your bed? Turn your clutter nightmare into a dream come true.
KYOKO FIERRO
1 FIND SNEAKY STORAGE
“Choose a bed with nesting storage underneath,” recommends Kaly Ryan of Willow and Stump Design Co., who adds that drawers don’t always work in a small space. “A headboard with integrated lighting can also replace the need for bedside tables.”
2 BLOW OFF SOME STEAM
Condo closets are often, well, condo-sized. And that means sometimes you have no choice but to fold your clothes. If that’s the case? According to Sjöstedt, “Steaming is usually better—and easier—than ironing.”
3 SIMPLIFY YOUR DECISIONS “A lot of us pick our clothes or linens based on how we feel in the moment,” explains Sjöstedt. “A colour-coordinated closet is always the quickest to sort through.”

EXPERT-APPROVED HACKS These three don’t just talk the talk. “In my closet, I only use white wooden hangers to keep everything feeling light. And you’re going to laugh, but I keep at least two inches between every hanger.” —N.S.
Nicole Sjöstedt tidies in a flash.
CONDO-SIZED SOLUTIONS Our pros weighed in on the pieces they find themselves recommending time and time again. MUUTO BINS
FLUYT BENCH “The top lifts up, creating a large storage footprint for big items like blankets, bags and coats. It’s great for your entranceway or even under a television.”—K.R.
HORIZON LIGHT “These art pieces double as shelves for precious items that should be on display. Marrying function and form is really important, and activating a wall space is one of the best things you can do in a condo.”—B.S.
“One of my favourite pieces is a wall-mounted key holder by the front door. It’s a place to dump the dog leash, my keys, my wallet the minute I get home—it’s amazing how easy it is to lose those small items!” —K.R.
“I recently added our modular unit Superstruct, to my living room. I wanted a nice big slab coffee table, but it’s a small space and I couldn’t block access to the patio door on the other side of the room. The flexibility is perfect.” —B.S.

“One of my clients has two young boys. We gave each boy a basket and told them to fill it with everything they’d left lying around—games, artwork, Lego. It looks super-neat and tidy, and super-stylish, with nearly no effort.”—N.S.

BY BARB SLIGL
Cool Caffeinators From long-time players and coffee roasters to one-off independents, the city’s java shops are more than a place to grab a cuppa— they’re community hubs in which to soak up the ambiance.
NEMESIS COFFEE
NEMESIS: ALEXEY SKACHKOV; 49TH PARALLEL COFFEE: AGATA LUN AZUL
This Gastown go-to not only has the coffee goods and on-tap kombucha (as well as hojicha, gaba and dok anchan teas) but serious food, too—think gnocchi carbonara, shakshuka and dill-cured salmon rösti. Plus, Nemesis’s light-wood decor—abuzz with SFU downtown-campus students—is like a Scandi-chic sanctuary in the city centre. 302 W Hastings St., nemesis.coffee
KAHVE This Kits café makes a great cortado (with Phil and Sebastian beans, a Calgary-based roaster that’s known as one of Canada’s best) and nitro cold brew or, for non-coffee drinkers, the local fave, London Fog. But it’s also a coffee-and-design shop with modern-European pieces on display and for sale. (Get that Alessi coffee pot to brew at home.) 1822 W 1st Ave., kahvevancouver.com
MILANO COFFEE A local coffee legend, Milano has won multiple international gold medals for its espresso (rare blends of up to 13 nano-lot, singleorigin beans). Grab a cup and gaze at the wowsers downtown view from the West 8th space, home to the original roasting equipment (for some 30 years). Various locations, milanocoffee.ca
49TH PARALLEL COFFEE ROASTERS The teal-coloured bags have become ubiquitous, and the doughnuts (Lucky’s; try the strawberry-buttermilk old fashioned) are as much of a calling card as the coffee. Still, Epic Espresso says it all. Have it at the Main Street location in Mount Pleasant, where those doughnuts are made on-site. Various locations, 49thcafe.com

REVOLVER COFFEE “Revolver is about two things: coffee, and the experience that should go with it,” says co-founder George Giannakos. Case in point: a rotating selection of not-seen-anywhere-else roast and a designer pourover and brew bar, where coffees are made using a sleek Seraphim brewing system with Hario glass decanters. 325 Cambie St., revolvercoffee.ca
GREENHORN ESPRESSO BAR
PALLET COFFEE ROASTERS Pallet Coffee Roasters has won numerous awards for both its beans and its latte art. The story began at the East Van location near Victory Tattoo (creator of one of Pallet’s logos), where the coffee is roasted still. Pastel-painted pallets hang outside, and the wooden slats are incorporated throughout the multi-level space inside for that industrial, east-side vibe. Various locations, palletcoffeeroasters.com
Tucked in Vancouver’s densest residential neighbourhood—the West End—this espresso bar (with record collection, listening station and DJ booth upstairs) is a local hideaway that’s become a destination spot on a quiet, leafy street. Sit under the red chandelier at the communal long table for the super-popular breakfast skillet and rich Vietnamese coffee. 994 Nicola St., greenhorncafe.com
AGRO COFFEE ROASTERS Known for roasting organic coffee, this off-the-beaten-path tasting café is worth the visit for its white-and-wood aesthetic, views of the roaster and excellent nitro cold brew.

CALIFORNIA CLOSETS: SO MUCH MORE THAN CLOSETS
F
or most homeowners, a garage isn’t just a place to park the car. It’s a storage room, workshop, extra closet, designated spot for a freezer or extra fridge—a space for so much miscellaneous stuff. From sports equipment to garden tools, the various items that end up accumulating in a family household can quickly become clutter. And a disorganized jumble can ultimately turn into a source of stress. Transforming a garage into an efficient and aesthetically pleasing storage space that still comfortably fits two cars was exactly the result of a recent exciting project by California Closets Vancouver. Design consultant Zainub Malik first met the Cipriano family at the California Closets showroom. The parents of two young children were thrilled with their recent purchase of a single-detached home, but they were concerned about being able to fit all the things they brought with them. This is a family that likes to be active: think four pairs of skis; four ski suits, helmets, and pairs of boots and goggles; and four bikes. Then there are the random balls, sporting goods, toys, tuques, mitts, rain boots, running shoes, and more. “They needed a place to functionally store all of this stuff with their family’s growing needs, but they also wanted to add value to their house,” Malik says. “They called us in so it would look beautiful as well.” In the showroom, Malik was able to show the couple various garage displays before meeting them at their home. There, she was able to see beyond the blank walls while taking into account the family’s need to place an extra-large freezer in the room and their wish for a neat sitting area for the kids to easily put their shoes on and take them off. To maximize space, Malik’s sleek, multifaceted design features very tall cabinets, taking advantage of the height of the garage ceiling, to tuck items like helmets out of sight.
Clever clothing storage includes a fusion track wall where accessories hang. “It’s a cost-effective and space-saving way to organize things,” Malik says. There are also three garment rods to hang wet jackets on rainy Vancouver days, and beautiful baskets to place soccer balls and other smaller items. Then there’s ample shoe and equipment storage. “So often, people go to their storage room and rifle around and can’t find their pair of goggles; here, everything has a home,” Malik says. “It’s easy for every family member, from five years old up to mom and dad, to be able to find and grab what they’re looking for and put it away when they’re done. It has really created order.” The family chose a darker, Milano grey for the cabinets’ longevity and appeal, a smart choice with small kids who just might get dirty fingerprints here and there. As with other projects, Malik valued the relationship she developed with the family more than anything. She also loves the variety of her work as a designer for California Closets. “The family was very open to my design ideas, and it was great to have that trust,” she says. “This is a great example of how California Closets does so much more than closets—and does it well.”

MODERN HISTORY It’s hard to believe architect Robert Lemon just moved into this condo this year—the spacious suite already feels like home. It’s all thanks to his clever layering of pieces collected from vintage stores and world travels: here, nine-foot rugs dragged home from Turkey cohabit with Danish furniture discovered on a trip to Winnipeg and showcase a lifetime of memories.

A B&B Italia bookshelf (or is it a vertical fern garden?) acts as a very West Coast divider between the main living area and the home office. Also on the shelves: curated knickknacks from the couple’s travels. “The trick with curation is to make sure every item matters,” says the designer.
hen interior designer Ben Leavitt and his partner, Vishal Anand, decided to move in together, designing their new combined home might have been the challenge of Leavitt’s career. “Vish has professed since the day I met him that he is a staunch minimalist,” says Leavitt. “When I met him, he didn’t have a single piece of art on his walls.” A life-sized polka-dot deer sculpture, reclaimed fire hydrant, African masks, taxidermy: these were the hallmarks of Leavitt’s last apartment (featured back in our summer 2017 issue). “With my job, I’m constantly inspired,” says the designer and president of Vancouver’s PlaidFox Studio. “So I want my home to push my boundaries—the more colour, the more pattern, the more things—the better.” When they found their dream home in historic Gastown (a bright and spacious two-bedroom with a palatial rooftop deck), Leavitt committed to renovating the apartment—a design that would emulate the character of their neighbourhood and marry their distinctive tastes—but he had one condition: Anand couldn’t enter the premises until it was completely finished. “When Vish saw the entranceway, he just about died,” recalls Leavitt of the big reveal. The designer had blown up a vintage photograph of Joshua Tree National Park and turned it into a vinyl covering that wraps around the entire area. “I wanted people to come into the home and the first thing they see is something unexpected and fun—that’s our combined personality,” says Leavitt. In the main living space, Leavitt injects colour, but in moderation: a futuristic-looking Bensen wingback in yellow pops next to a deep-set feather-filled felt sofa in classic navy blue. The resin-poured coffee table from Martha Sturdy and the

GASTOWN GLAM
In each room Leavitt tried to add a little bit of Gastown: the Edison bulb light fixture fit the industrial bill. The room was already asymmetrical, so Leavitt pushed it even further with a quirky millwork design and an asymmetrically hung mirror. The living room has skylights and ample windows, so the designer opted for a dark, smoky blue for the wall.

asymmetrical Andrew Neyer light fixture function almost like modern sculptures and live next to an actual sculpture: Leavitt’s prized seven-foot-tall terracotta warrior. (Piano movers actually walked the thousand-pound replica on a dolly, through traffic, from Leavitt’s old apartment just across the street.) “Although at first this room seems ultra-modern, if you look at each of the individual pieces, they are all from different time periods and from different countries,” says Leavitt. “It’s a modern take on an eclectic global home.” For the master bedroom, more so than any other room, Leavitt wanted to lean into the Gastown loft vibe. The room’s plain drywalled walls were covered in tumbled salvaged brick, painted white. White cabinetry and a full-length mirror help brighten up the nearly windowless room, but there’s also a halfwall of Benjamin Moore’s Dollar Bill Green paint, which is the same dark green you’ll see on many neighbourhood storefronts. Frosted globe sconces reminded Leavitt of the street lanterns outside, while a graphic Douglas Coupland Poutine artwork nods to the takeout joints in the ’hood. Enter the master bathroom, though, and you’re about as far away from Leavitt’s wild and eclectic comfort zone as you can get. Designed mostly for Anand, it was loosely inspired by Japanese onsens: sleek and modern, with a dark colour palette. “As hard as it was for me, I actually didn’t use one drop of colour in this space,” says Leavitt. He replaced a “horrifying vision of terracotta, creams and caramels” with large-format concrete tile, matte black fixtures and honed marble countertops in black and white. A detailed charcoal drawing from Paper Collective adds another layer of visual interest. “If you’re not going to use colour, you have to use contrast and texture to really make it striking,” he says. Although it was a learning curve for Leavitt to design a space that was so pared down, he ended up loving the monochromatic bathroom as much as his partner ended up loving the entranceway. “It was a smart move to keep Vish away during renovations, but the longer that he lives in the house and the longer he spends with me, the more he sometimes says, ‘Do you think we should add a bit more colour?’ or ‘Do you think we should do this?’ He’s on board for the evolution of our home as much as I am.”
FACE TO FACE
Leavitt’s 50-piece-plus mask collection was the primary focus of his last apartment, but now just his favourites have been selected for the couple’s guest room (above) to pair with woven rattan grasscloth wallpaper, a Norman of Copenhagen Knot chair and petrified, wood stump side tables from Indonesia.

Architect Robert Lemon sourced the circa-1946 Danish felted sofa in egg-yolk yellow in Winnipeg; it’s now the focal point of the architect’s “morning room” (left). The map of Rome on the morning room wall has been with Lemon for over 35 years. He first hung it in his apartment and at city hall (as an employee) before his West 10th house; it was then displayed at the Vancouver Heritage Foundation before reappearing in Lemon’s new condo.

DOUBLE DUTY
A white-oak screen separates the office and living room and serves as both feature and room divider. The fabric pillows— designed by Sandrine Lejeune, a former colleague of Ledingham’s—first saw life as table runners in the 1880s-era log-house farm that Lemon (pictured, right) used to share with late partner Robert Ledingham. The farm was sold, the fabric reimagined.
A
well-curated home typically comes about in one of two ways. You hire a great design mind to compose your space—someone else’s well-trained, singular vision applied to your four walls. Or you live a lifetime of rich experiences, then layer your home yourself with your gathered treasures. What do you do, then, if you’re a great design mind and you also have a life well lived? For architect Robert Lemon, you get the best of both worlds. No stranger to exceptional design nor life experience, Lemon is a long-time architectural heritage advocate whose life partner of over 30 years was the late legendary designer Robert Ledingham. As Vancouver’s senior heritage planner from 1991 to 1996, Lemon was key in spearheading new provincial heritage legislation for the City of Vancouver, as well as its density policy. Restoration and rehabilitation are his calling cards: he’s consulted on such landmark projects as Chinatown’s Wing Sang building, the historic Shannon Estate, Christ Church Cathedral,

DELIGHT IN THE DETAILS

the downtown YMCA and the Hotel Georgia. That storied experience, coupled with his world travels alongside the talented Ledingham, afforded him the ability to approach his new home with a keen eye honed over decades. At first blush, Lemon’s circa-2000 condo might seem an unlikely candidate for someone steeped in architectural pedigree. “I never thought I’d be a condo person,” he says. But the airy space with its large outdoor terrace spoke to him after nearly two decades spent in a stunning art moderne abode in Point Grey with Ledingham. “I wasn’t interested in moving from our beautiful house after Bob passed away in 2013,” says Lemon. “But it was a little big for one person.” He put word out to his realtor that should something come up with a terrace, he’d be interested. Shortly thereafter, his realtor touched base: there was a condo with 85 feet of frontage and a 1,400-square-foot deck not yet publicly advertised. Lemon was indeed interested.
To a less trained eye, the expansive new space could have felt daunting. But at 18 years old, its dark, gloomy kitchen, dated carpet and “funny configuration of walls and rooms” were all pure potential to Lemon. Across from a park with abundant southern exposure, “I saw North Shore mountains and beautiful pine trees,” he says. “And I could see that the structure of the layout would be improved with some internal walls moved to make it more livable.” And so he put in an offer. As one chapter in his life closed, the next one opened— and it happened to overlook the Granville Street Bridge. First, walls would need to be removed to open up the view, the tiny kitchen incorporated into a great room, the office delineated by a slat-screen wall, and a corridor reimagined as a master bedroom dressing room. After the bones were sufficiently modified, Lemon took stock of what he had to work with, decor-wise. The buyers of his art moderne home

BOLT OF BLUE
A white-oak panel door leading to the master bedroom (above and right) seamlessly shuts for privacy when Lemon entertains, but it also serves to expand the room visually. Lemon’s office is raised on a platform to be level with the outdoor terrace (below): “It’s more intimate this way,” he says. The blue vintage Swiss USM bookcase adds a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral scheme.
Robert Lemon’s Designer Tips EMBRACE THE ART OF BLENDING In an open kitchen, downplay the cabinetry and details so that they blend with the rest of the space. “I almost always defer to plain Corian countertops,” says Lemon. ART DIRECT YOUR MEALS Food looks terrific on blue plates. “I have a wide range of dishes—Japanese, Chinese, Italian and Danish—that all have a deep indigo colour,” says Lemon. “Mix and match the plates through a meal and all food will shine.” ASK AN EXPERT Use an interior designer. “As an architect, I like the challenge of rethinking a space, but a good interior designer will also think about lighting, texture and the nuances of colour,” Lemon says.
UNIFY THROUGH MATERIALS Different elements work together if they share a common colour or material, like bronze. “I have many things in that metal, like dark bronze door hardware, cabinet pulls and track light fixtures, plus old bronze vases, napkin rings and other decorative pieces,” says Lemon. GO BIG AND GO HOME If you’re going to do something foolish like buy a rug in Turkey, don’t just get a little postage stamp: go big. “My living room carpet is nine feet by 12 feet, but I bought it because the dealer could pack it up into a suitcase-sized piece of checked luggage so I could bring it home with me.”

had been keen to purchase much of the existing furniture and some art; this allowed Lemon to conceptualize his new interiors from scratch. To set the literal stage, he ruthlessly limited the number of background materials. White-oak flooring, Corian and off-white walls create a gallery-like backdrop to allow objects to pop: “The background is neutral, so all the furnishings show more clearly and tie in together,” he explains. Handsome bronze door hardware and track lighting serve as an accent colour for neutrality and consistency. There’s an eclectic, masculine ethos that permeates Lemon’s home; it’s well edited and subtle, but with a richness that dovetails with that restraint. “A lot of Bob’s work was contemporary and clean, but we always had a shared interest in Scandinavian design, modern pieces and Asian influence,” says Lemon of the aesthetic. And it all started
with a wool carpet, courtesy of a trip to Turkey in 2000: “Bob said don’t buy it, but I still did,” laughs Lemon. Its rust, indigo and beige colourway served as inspiration for the rest of the palette throughout: beige linen drapery unifies the glass that surrounds the space on three sides, while the rust-and-Indonesian-blue chenille pillows were handcrafted with fabric remnants from Ledingham’s old office. The leather and chrome dining room table was Ledingham’s former boardroom table; Lemon now pairs it with classic fabric chairs from Inform Interiors. Thoughtful reminders reimagined. The home’s careful, composed mix of old and new honours the past while gracefully expressing an exciting new future. “I’ve got more stuff than I know what to do with, but it all seems to work together,” says Lemon. “But I still keep collecting things in my travels.”

or married couple Chin and Linda, Three Harbour Green was a long-time dream home—the prestigious building was designed by architect Jim Hancock, sits mere steps away from the Vancouver Convention Centre and features large-balconied waterfront suites, a movie theatre, a squash court and some of the best views this side of Coal Harbour. But there was just one hitch. “There were never any units available,” recalls Chin. “We moved around a lot in the past few years, but we always had eyes for this building.” One day, serendipitously, Linda hit it off with a realtor who represented her relative’s 2,500-square-foot condo in—you guessed it—Three Harbour Green. Before long, the spacious two-bedroom apartment on the sixth floor was theirs. Of course, like most dreams, this one needed some work to come true. The dated apartment had yellowy-white walls, drab grey kitchen cabinets and soulless black and white furniture. It
was leagues away from Linda’s vision for a contemporary, loftstyle apartment with a blend of Scandinavian simplicity and Parisian allure. A referral from a girlfriend led her to Andrea Rodman, whose aesthetic fit the bill perfectly. “In the process of buying this place, we were freaking out!” recalls Linda of the timing; she desperately wanted to set up a meeting, but the designer happened to be travelling. “I really wanted Andrea to see the place first to see if she could turn it into something magical.” Of course, once a meeting was finally set, the three clicked immediately, which was especially key because Linda was pregnant at the time with their (now-16-month-old) daughter—this home would be their first as a young family. A baby on the horizon factored into some of the major design decisions, such as practical touches like a nursery and a functional home office, as well as an overall calming aesthetic.

BED HEAD
To play off the neutral hues of the parents’ calming space, an artist-designed wallpaper from Black Edition gives texture to the wall behind the custom bed, which was itself designed by Rodman and built by WD Western Designers. The Massproductions Crown easy chair is from Hem Interiors, Rodman’s new online store.
The couple decided to divide and conquer by each having carte blanche over the design choices of specific domains: the living room-office was deemed Chin’s space, and the family room was Linda’s. “They really let us have some fun,” recalls Rodman. For Chin’s office nook, black-painted oak storage acts as cheeky filing cabinets to tidy away paperwork and do double duty as shelves for books and plants. In the family room, Rodman got to work by prioritizing whitewashed walls before weaving together a Nordic design aesthetic with an art-gallery feel. “A lot of high-end Scandinavian design has simple pieces mixed with more sculptural pieces, and that’s what we did here,” she says, pointing out vases and accessories from Provide Home and Avenue Road, and statement pieces like the Kelly Wearstler Strada flush-mount light, which presides over the living room like a spiny black sea urchin. Because the ceiling draws the eye up to the ceiling, it’s hard to miss the curvature of a rubber-moulded detail by TWL Contracting, who also did all the custom millwork. “We added those ceiling details in the living room to bring in an interesting element of
pattern,” notes Rodman of the condo’s only renovation. The solid neutral furnishings beneath it were chosen so as to not compete, and this masculine space differentiates itself—as does each room— with a personality all its own. A recent trip to New York had Linda and Chin craving an artloft vibe for some areas, which Rodman produced with a 15-footlong custom Carla Tak painting that hangs between the family and dining rooms. It not only unites both spaces with a splash of Pollock-meets-Rothko colour but also acts as a vibrant backdrop for the clean lines of a Bensen hardwood table and bench by Danish-Canadian designer Niels Bendtsen. Indeed, the Nordic-chic dining area is perfect for entertaining, but when the weather allows, it’s the 900-square-foot patio that draws them out into the fresh air. Here, a minigolf pit is tucked off to the side for their daughter, and if a little more space is desired to play in, the seawall and coastal rainforest of Stanley Park are virtually in their backyard. Talk about location, location, location—and a condo dream come true.

SPACES L AST LOOK
Bob the Robot office by Studio Joanna Laajisto, Helsinki, Finland. “It’s all about that mix of subtle textures and an organic colour palette that is warm and inviting but still modern. It’s a look that is livable and evokes warmth and comfort. The addition of deep greens and terracotta accents gives the look depth.”
The Palette: Sherwin-Willams’ SW 6340 Baked Clay, Benjamin Moore’s Silver Marlin 2139-50 and Dulux Deep Green 37217
“I am so inspired by mobiles right now, like this Full Lune design by Ladies and Gentlemen Studio. Mobiles are so sculptural and add an unexpected touch to a space.”
THE INSPO Urban Organic Interior designer Alykhan Velji shares a peek into his style files for fall.
“I love the geometric print on this Zak and Fox fabric. The Mirucha colourway with that deep green accent is stunning. The perfect fabric for drapery or as upholstery on an accent chair.”
“I love Egg Collective’s Howard sofa—it’s a unique take on the classic sectional. It’s angled in just the right way, with walnut feet that extend the whole depth of the sofa. The details on the arm are perfection: they add an extra layer of comfort, but the sofa still looks streamlined.”

“The team at Apparatus is definitely one to watch. Its designers have a great way of creating pieces that take inspirations from different cultures, and finding unique ways of incorporating an organic feeling into their pieces. Their use of natural materials is impeccable, and the shape of this Interlude coffee table is so unique. Organic in its form, with the stunning rounded planes of Patagonia marble and a brass base, it would be a showstopper in any space.”
