IDS Vancouver: New Name, Equally Exciting Home Design Show
T
he name might have changed, but the 12th Annual IDS Vancouver show, running September 22 to 25 at the Vancouver Convention Centre, promises to be just as exciting as in previous years. REW.ca spoke to the show director Jody Phillips to find out why the name-change from IDS West to IDS Vancouver. She replies: “We are very proud to now be the largest design fair in western North America. Establishing ourselves on the international stage has been a long time coming. No longer can we be identified as “west” because on the world stage, one would wonder ‘west of what?’” This year’s show is expected to attract a record 36,000 attendees, including 7,000-plus interior designers, architects, builders, developers and other trade professionals. Philips is thrilled to showcase “our amazing, talented homegrown local designers and furniture creators.”
Kate Duncan Kate Duncan is up-and-coming local designer, whose sleek and timeless furniture is handcrafted from hardwood. During the show, she will be showcasing her new collection of custom made pieces, many of which are handcrafted in the old-world principles of woodworking. “I’m bringing along a custom, black walnut headboard I made for a client that is mounted with nightstands that seem to float,” Duncan tells REW.ca. In addition, she’ll be featuring two dining room tables, a line of chairs, including launching new bar stools. “I’m

inspired by the craft of woodworking and to keeping it simple,” Duncan adds. Other speakers and exhibitors at the upcoming show also shared their décor trend tips with REW.ca...
Ramsin Khachi
Guest speaker at the show, TV personality, design/build contractor, writer and interior designer • Be creative, but also sensible, about design. “Design has to make sense and function well, while being creative,” he adds. • Do not go for today’s trends, rather go for lifestyle trends. • Good style is a product of a person’s level of self-confidence and personal expression, says Khachi. “Rather than talk about trends, people should be asking themselves why they are attracted to something,” Khachi adds. “If you like what you see and believe in what you like, you have style.” • Don’t get stuck with rules; they are meant to be broken. • Mix modern with traditional and vintage.
Heather Ross
Speaker at IDS Vancouver, artist, photographer, author, stylist and owns a boutique in the Armoury District • For those who love West Coast-inspired design, think coastal and beachy, but not nautical unless it’s a summer home or a yacht. • Ask yourself: Why I’m drawn to something? Where do I

get my inspiration from? “When people connect to what they like or to childhood memories, that will help guide their design choices,” she says. • “Don’t be a slave to trends. If you don’t, you won’t get tired of your design.” • If you do want to be current, then buy trends such as cushions and rugs. • If you can afford it, go for the real deal instead of the mass produced or reproduction.
Jamie Pryde
Interior designer, designer of the show’s VIP Lounge, owner/founder of The Edit in Vancouver, guest on The Marilyn Denis Show and named one of Gray magazine’s “Hot New Next” designers • Blend styles and never go for “matchy, matchy” items. • Rooms should look like they have been organically designed. “A room should reflect the owner’s personality and be authentic,” he adds. • Always add vintage/antique pieces to our décor. “Antique pieces are alive … they tell stories.” • Easiest way to accessorize is with flowers and greenery – they give soul to a room. • If you have luxury pieces, use them. Don’t let them collect dust. IDS Vancouver runs from September 22 to 25 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. For more information or to purchase tickets for, visit www.idswest.com.

Metro Vancouver Housing Starts and Building Permits See Summer Slump: Reports
T
he number of new homes breaking ground in the Vancouver Metropolitan Area (CMA) trended lower in August than in the previous month, levelling off after what had been a busy few months for home building, according to a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) report released September 9. Housing starts were trending at 28,108 units in August compared with 30,333 units in July. The trend is a sixmonth moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “While actual housing starts remain well above levels recorded in 2015, August did see a dip in the trend for the first time this year,” said Robyn Adamache, CMHC principal market analyst for Vancouver. “Large multi-unit condo projects in Burnaby, Coquitlam and Vancouver account for just over half of all new residential starts in August.” Housing starts in the AbbotsfordMission CMA were trending at 1,005 units in August, down from 1,241 units in July. Across Canada, the trend fell to
195,640 units in August compared with 201,379 in July as the summer slowdown was seen throughout the nation. “Housing starts declined in August, as construction of multi-unit dwellings slowed in most regions, led by lower activity in Alberta and Manitoba,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist. “However, housing market activity levels remain elevated and this decline in starts is the market’s response to increasing levels of supply. Multi-unit inventories are above average in several major markets across the country.” CMHC said it uses six-month moving averages to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, said the CMHC, analyzing only the monthly seasonally adjusted data can be misleading in some markets, as they can be variable from one month to the next.
New home construction permits in Vancouver in July 2016 were valued at just over $435 million, according to the federal statistics agency – a year-overyear decline of 44 per cent, although a rise of 22 per cent over June’s even greater slump. July saw $151 million worth of singlefamily-home permits issued, down 5.9 per cent year over year, and condoapartment permits worth just shy of $239 million were issued, an annual drop of 55.5 per cent. Across the whole province, $713 million of residential building permits were issued in July – a very slight rise over the $708 million seen in June, but a 31.4 per cent fall year over year. Kelowna was the only BC centre surveyed to see a year-over-
year increase, nearly doubling with an annual rise of 94.8 per cent, whereas Abbotsford-Mission and Victoria saw the value of their residential building permits issued drop compared with last July, down 57.3 per cent and 20.8 per cent respectively. Across Canada, the value of residential building permits was down 18.3 per cent year over year, and 4.5 per cent from June, to $4.01 billion. Of all the provinces and territories, Alberta once again saw the steepest year-over-year fall in the value of residential building permits nationally at 36.6 per cent.
Building Permits The CMHC’s August housing starts figures were released a day after Statistics Canada published its July home building permit values September 8.
