STEEN SKAANING he sky is grey and drizzling. Steen Skaaning sits in his office at Vancouver’s INspiration Furniture on West 6th Avenue and excitedly tells a story: “Just three years ago, I was at a furniture expo in Milan. I walked past an exhibit, and as I was walking away I was somehow drawn back. The colours, I noticed, were a bit crazy but felt really meaningful and real.” He’s talking about KARE, a brand established in 1981 in Munich, Germany. This June, as a result of his discovery at the Milan exhibit, Steen opened a KARE furniture store beneath INspiration — the first in Vancouver and second in North America
(after Toronto). KARE has over 100 stores all over the world, spanning over 50 countries but mostly located in Europe. “KARE’s furniture is colourful, extremely vibrant with an esoterically interesting feel. Its designs are modern and unconventional, bringing inspiration and creativity. They have over 5,000 products and they revamp 1,500 of these each year. This style of furniture has never been seen before in Vancouver!” Steen, usually solemn and reserved, confesses that introducing KARE has awakened a hidden passion in him! Standing in the KARE furniture store downstairs, one can truly appreciate how Steen feels. There are velvet sofas of gold, orange and sapphire blue; rustic yet uniquely stylish wood tables; art-like cabinets and side tables engraved with embossed patterns; plus animated and interesting décor pieces that are stylish, creative and full of joy. There is no bland or solemn furniture here! The space is divided into two showrooms

This has added a new piece to the atlas of Steen’s furniture kingdom, attracting a younger generation that loves stylish pieces. Upstairs, INspiration Furniture continues its high-end, luxury style, dominated by Italian brands such as Natuzzi Italia and Cattelan Italia. Natuzzi Italia was founded in 1959 in Taranto, Italy. Not only is it Italy’s biggest furniture manufacturer, it is also a world leader in leather sofas, sold in 123 countries across five continents. Every Natuzzi sofa is made in Italy, and they are known for their precise designs and harmonizing beauty. The quality is also superior — Natuzzi uses a modern quality-control facility that is fully automatic, dust-free, sound-proof, suspended and environmentally friendly, taking a full 135 steps before completion. Now, Natuzzi Italia’s products have expanded from its original living room furniture like sofas and armchairs to cover the entire home. Its dining room and bedroom collections are a result of its relentless pursuit of quality and an understanding of and passion for beauty and the arts. In INspiration’s 40,000-square-foot showroom, Natuzzi Italia’s furniture occupies 7,000 square feet.

F
or a painter, there’s nothing more coveted than a blank canvas. An empty sheet means endless possibilities and creative freedom. For designers at California Closets,
their blank canvas is a blank wall. Professionals like Emma Beaty love taking a bare wall space and transforming it into a functional storage solution with a stunning look that would suit a show home. Consider one of the Vancouver designer’s recent projects. Her client was downsizing from a 4,500-square-foot home to a 1,500-square-foot condo. While navigating how to live in a much smaller space, the client wanted a wall of storage that could incorporate and accentuate a beautiful black lacquer armoire that was a family heirloom. “Coming from a large home, she really needed to maximize storage in every room,” Beaty says. “Her practical side wanted somewhere to store her designer handbags out of sight, while her stylish side wanted something beautiful to look at in her bedroom.” Beaty designed a wall unit with staggered-box concept, a collection of floating black and white cabinets—that don’t look like cabinets. Touch-release doors mean no hardware or handles, and one of the cabinets is larger than the others, providing more storage and a larger surface for a black glass door with an etched paisley pattern. The unit also has a
floating dresser. The entire piece hardly resembles a place to tuck away personal items.

於一個畫家來說，沒什麼比一張空白畫布更令人夢寐以求的了。一份紙上的空白，意味著無限可能和創作自由。 對於加州的櫥櫃設計師來說，他們的一面空白牆壁就是他們的白畫布。像Emma Beaty這樣的專業設計師喜歡為 空白墻面空間揮灑靈感，轉化成一個具有功能的存儲空間解決方案，令人驚嘆的設計完美襯托樣板屋空間。
正如最近一項溫哥華設計師的項目那樣，她的客戶把4,500平方英呎的房屋縮減至一間1,500平方英呎的公寓。在探索如何利 用較小的生活空間時，該客戶希望能夠將一整面牆用作存儲並與其家族傳家寶的典雅黑漆衣櫃完美結合。 Beaty說：“她來自一個大家庭，確實需要最大化每個房間的存儲空間。” “一方面她很實用地想要在找個地方存放名牌手 袋，但另一方面她追求時尚的心情又想要在臥室裡看到養眼的設計。” Beaty還設計了帶有交錯框概念的牆壁單元，它是一 組浮動的黑白櫥櫃，看起來完全不像是儲物櫃。觸碰式門開關設計意味著沒有硬件或把手，且其中一個櫃子比另外的要大， 為帶有蝕刻佩斯利圖案的黑色玻璃門的空間提供更多存儲空間和留白。此外這個單位還設有一個可活動梳妝台，整件作品讓 這個地方看起來似乎不像是存放個人物品的地方。

“It looks like a piece of art on the wall,” Beaty says. “She has an artistic flare, and this really suits her style. “You’d be surprised how much she can tuck away in this unit, but it doesn’t look like it was designed for storage,” Beaty adds. “It looks like it was designed for aesthetics.” The floating design also creates the illusion of a much larger space. To complement that striking wall unit, Beaty also designed additional cabinets for either side of the bed to match. They add even more sleek storage, help tie the room together, and contribute to harmony throughout the entire condo: Beaty has

传奇钢琴女王见证施坦威 精神 - 经典来自完美、 传承和教育
o one in Vancouver’s classical music scene doesn’t know this legendary woman. Her name is Renay Zhang. She is not a musician, not a
music teacher, she is a piano sales consultant for Tom Lee Music. Renay continues to win Steinway’s outstanding achievement award for best piano sales in the world, serving thousands of families with her musical literacy and professional piano skills. Her success comes from her discovery of the aspirations of classical music pilgrims. The understanding and inherently unique Steinway & Sons spirit are seen in her eyes. There are three sources of this spirit: perfection, heritage, and education. Renay believes that the reason why Steinway pianos are classic and stand the test of time is because their products are not only exceptional in technology and

Renay认为施坦威钢琴之所以是经典而又能经得起时间的考验，是因为 它的产品除了技术及工艺上的优胜之外，其设计不浮夸、大气而以艺术 家的需求而制造，它的黑色钢琴无论是在家庭或世界上各大音乐厅，都 受到广大的音乐爱好者及艺术家的推崇，一个令人折服的事实: 几世纪 以来, 施坦威钢琴始终为97%以上的演奏会钢琴家的首选表演乐器。

These human factors and innovative technology formed the Steinway DNA which contributes to the success of Steinway & Sons.
The Steinway Spirit Classics come from perfection, heritage and education
The hard work, experience and passion of each craftsman from Steinway, plus nearly 150 patents developed by the Steinway family, have laid down the technical guidelines for the prototype of modern pianos. Even though many piano makers have tried to recreate the Steinway success story, their efforts have failed, because Steinway’s spirit which makes its products unique, cannot be copied. This spirit has made the Steinway piano a classic among the world’s pianos over the past 166 years. Perfection, heritage and education are the three elements which are the foundation of the Steinway spirit.
Perfection As a medium for music, a Steinway piano is a precision instrument comprised of more than 12,000 parts. Behind them is a history of nearly 170 years of piano design and manufacturing. It reveals how the major components and Steinway developed patents technology have made Steinway the piano by which all others are judged. It’s a fascinating look at the uncompromising craftsmanship that masterfully assembles over 12,000 parts to create a handmade Steinway. That’s why 97% of the world’s concert pianists choose, without compensation, to perform exclusively on Steinway pianos.

Education Steinway’s spirit not only comes from its excellent products and heritage, but also from its education, support and cultivation of young people. In 1911, the Steinway Kindergarten was established at the Steinway factory to give the local children the best education. William Steinway, the Steinway president at the time, personally designed the roads, transportation, plumbing and housing of the kindergarten, and established a library. This emphasis on education has continued since the last century. The Steinway Artists Program, which began in 1872, has recognized a series of world-class pianists including Rubinstein, Horowitz, Agrige, and Lang Lang as Steinway Artists. It was when many young pianists emerged that Steinway discovered and cultivated their talents. Today, for any pianist, the “Steinway Artist” title has become a great honor, praise and recognition for outstanding contribution in the field of piano performance.

At the mention of White Rock, the paradise of Metro Vancouver, most people would probably think of a peaceful seaside away from the busy city, fish and chips, abundant seafood restaurants, a leisurely vibe for tourists and a serene place to reside. But on top of that, White Rock is also home to a rich artistic atmosphere. Among the many art galleries and studios in White Rock, Art Couture is the only gallery by the seaside. The blue skies and sea complement the artworks on display, connecting the aesthetics inside and out and providing a unique charm. As a high-end art gallery, Art Couture only presents original art pieces. It also actively supports the discovery and development of local artists, encompasses artistic works from a variety of cultural backgrounds, and encourages free-reign creativity by, for example, introducing renowned artists and works from mainland China. It is a hub of Western and Eastern art. Using multi-faceted perspectives and presentation methods and worldclass curation practices, it is an influential young art gallery.

ising high on a hill in White Rock, this dazzling 10,000-square-foot beauty of a house encompasses everything one could want in a spacious, modern-yethomey, art-filled dwelling.
這 棟 豪 宅 是 由 Sea Rock Developments
This ultra-luxe abode was created by builder & developer Kaz Noori of Sea Rock Developments and designer and decorator, Sharon. The talented duo has worked together for a number of years to create extraordinary custom homes, each one seemingly more impressive than the last.
搭檔多年來一直一起工作，創造出眾多卓
“Our builds are niche and we want to keep them very niche,” said Kaz, of the spectacular signature homes that Sea Rock constructs in the White Rock and surrounding area. After years of building fine homes, including several BC Lottery houses, they felt no one in the area was tapping into the utmost potential of highend homebuilding, so they decided to innovate the field on their own, resolving to go further and create truly splendid luxury residences.
“我們打造的是利基產品，我們想讓這些
They recently built a knockout modern version of a luxurious French chateau.

“The design is a fusion, really,” Sharon explained. “It’s modern with European accents.” With their shared passion and drive to create truly extraordinary homes, the couple collaborates beautifully together.
打造高端奢華住宅，於是他們決定創新領
“Kaz bakes the cake and I decorate it,” she said. But it’s not quite as simple as all that. They begin by committing their vision to paper, then continue to meticulously oversee the entire project every inch of the way.

The house incorporates exquisite and rare stone, crystal and woods. There’s also jaw-dropping touches of rockstar luxe throughout, like the sparkling, midnight-blue cashmere carpet in the media room and, in the spa area, the lavish use of nerineafossil-embedded stone “from an ancient seabed off the coast of Spain and dating back millions of years to the Jurassic period, when dinosaurs roamed the earth.”

Inspired by the new owners’ love of art, the couple delighted them with this opulent artistry, even surprising them with an elegant gallery space to display their collection.

The couple has a special symbiosis with Asian homeowners, who culturally value harmony and honesty and who deeply appreciate music and the visual arts. “Every house has its own story, and this house is really about art,” Kaz said.

“This home is very modern, but modern can sometimes be cold and uninviting. To fit our client’s personality, Sharon made it homey and warm — and she did all that by choosing the right colours and materials to bring it all together.”

The artistry and flow create a context that both uplifts and inspires. For example, the copper-coloured pre-aged bronze that they sourced for the exterior fascia — a perfect choice due to the home’s proximity to salt water — resonates in the interior as well. It appears subtly sometimes, for example, in a straight, thin, accent line inset into the handrail of the glamorously backlit crystal, wood and steel floating staircase. Or it can appear in a more dramatic way, such as the unusual pendant lighting that hangs above the downstairs island or the modern chandelier in an upstairs bedroom.
源自新屋主熱衷藝術的靈感，Kaz Noori
Despite the opulence of the materials, the visually stunning spaces all exude warmth, thanks to Sharon’s savvy furniture designs and her imaginative use of a rust, grey, brown and cream colour scheme in tune with the exotic expanses of polished stone and generous use of rare crystal.
文化；雙方也因此產生了特殊的共生關系，
BC born and bred, she has an innate feel for the West Coast style. She intuitively knows how to create outstanding entertainment spaces, and excels at bringing the outdoors in. She also customdesigned every piece of furniture in the house. “Each one was specially made in Italy by a renowned manufacturer and shipped here in 40-foot containers,” she said. “Anybody can put a house together,” said Kaz, “ but we work hard to create a special flow in our homes. This home is very modern, but modern can sometimes be cold and uninviting. To fit our client’s personality, Sharon made it homey and warm – and she did all that by choosing the right colours and materials to bring it all together.” “This is the only house in White Rock that is built with this much natural stone. Stone is widely available, but it’s how you use it that makes the difference. The front entrance is 30 ft. high, and we wrapped it in marble. It’s so perfectly done that it looks seamless and the effect is incredible.”
和 Sharon 用極具藝術氣息的設計風格迎 合屋主喜好，他們甚至通過專門打造一間 畫廊室來展示屋主的藏品，這令屋主倍 感驚喜。和眾多 Sea Rock 的客戶一樣， Kaz Noori 和 Sharon 用心揣摩屋主心思。 在項目開工前，他們陪同屋主前往亞洲， 以便更好地了解屋主的生活背景、品味和 彼此尊重文化和諧，互相欣賞對方的音樂 和藝術。 Kaz Noori 說道：“每個房子都有它自己 的故事，這間房子的故事就是關於藝術。” 屋內的藝術感和空間感營造了一種既振奮 又鼓舞人心的人居環境。他舉例說，全屋 外部采用青銅金屬色，這與住宅靠近大海 的特性相輔相成，同時也與內部裝飾遙相 呼應，產生共鳴。這種藝術感有時很微妙， 就好似鑲嵌於擁有點亮功能，且由水晶、 木材和鋼組成的懸浮式樓梯扶手上的筆直 細線一樣細膩；有時又會像樓下島台上不 同尋常的吊燈，亦或是樓上臥室現代水晶 燈般極富戲劇性。 盡管豪宅內大量使用不同種類材質，但 視覺上依然散發著柔和感，這要歸功於 Sharon 的宅妝功力及家具選用。她對鐵 銹色、灰色、棕色和奶油色等配色運用富 有超凡想象力，加上異國情調的拋光石材 和稀有水晶的搭配使用，讓一切顯得十分 溫暖。在卑詩省土生土長的 Sharon，對 西海岸風格的設計元素有著信手拈來的自 信。她憑直覺就知道如何創造出色的娛樂 空間，並擅長將戶外特色融入居家生活。

“We make it a point not to work on more than three homes in a year,” Sharon said. “To give each home the focus it deserves, we usually work on just one on paper, one that’s halfway finished, and one that’s coming to completion.” Next up? A 20,000 sq. ft. home in the White Rock area with innovative design concepts for exceptional entertaining. “We are always driven to go above and beyond,” Kaz said. “The sky’s the limit! This unique estate is an example of what we can do.”.■

espite his meteoric rise in the world of Vancouver real estate, Garry Nip’s first calling wasn’t as a realtor. But real estate was always in the back of his mind while he pursued other ambitions with his special brand of drive, hard work and dedication. He often discussed the market with a favourite uncle who supported him and encouraged him to find his passion and pursue a future that would be “without limits.”
每天早上6點起床, 梳洗過後換上筆挺的西裝, 泡上一杯綠茶就開始忙
Garry spent 12 years pushing himself to excel in the automotive industry, eventually working his way up the status ladder to become the service director at Lamborghini Vancouver. His exceptional listening and problem-solving skills helped him to satisfy the often exacting personalities of the Lamborghini clientele, owners of the most coveted and expensive luxury sports cars in the world.
碌的一天! 過去這些年當聶海寧以自己特有的幹勁、努力、奉獻精神
“They were mostly professionals — doctors, lawyers, and real estate developers — who were successful enough to reward themselves with this iconic luxury sports car. I wanted to be on the other side of the table too.”

His manager believed in Garry, appreciated his hard work, and became his mentor, always urging him to “dream big.” Over time Garry realized there were limits to his career in the automotive industry, and he began considering making the shift from wheels to deals. Eventually, he believed in himself enough to take the plunge and switch careers. In 2015, as the Vancouver real estate market was heating up, he became a realtor.
追求其他理想時，房地產行業始終在他的腦海中。他經常與最佩服 的吳昊叔叔討論市場，這位叔叔經常鼓勵他要找到自己的熱情並追 求能帶給自己“無限發展”的事業。 儘管他在溫哥華房地產界迅速崛起，但他的第一份工作並不是房地 產經紀人。聶海寧花了12年的時間努力使自己在汽車行業中脫穎而 出色的聆聽和解決問題的能力幫助他滿足了擁有世界上最令人垂涎 和最昂貴豪華跑車、蘭博基尼客戶的苛刻要求。 “他們大多是專業人士-醫生、律師和房地產開發商-他們用這款 標誌性的豪華跑車來獎勵自己的成功。而我，也想像他們一樣。” 過去每一份工作, 聶海寧的老闆都讚賞他的責任心和努力拼搏的精 神，有的最後並成為他人生的導師跟朋友，一直敦促他要有“遠大 的夢想”。隨著時間的推移，聶海寧意識到他在汽車行業的職業生 涯有局限性，因此他決定轉向房產行業發展。 他說：“溫哥華是一個獨特而有趣的市場，這裏前途無量。溫哥華 一直被列為地球上最適宜人類居住地之一。它美得令人難以置信，
“Vancouver is a unique and interesting market,” he said, “and the sky’s the limit here. Vancouver is always ranked one of the best places on earth to live; it’s incredibly beautiful, and we have a melting pot of different cultures. Talented people from all over the world come to live in Vancouver, and the potential and demand here are just going to grow.”
而且這裡是一個擁有不同文化的大熔爐。世界各地才華橫溢的人們
Garry, who was born in Beijing, raised in Hong Kong and emigrated to Abbotsford with his parents as a teenager, has the professional advantage of having an Asian background and a Canadian education. He graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley and has been a Vancouver-area resident ever since. He understands both the Canadian and Chinese cultures, he loves Vancouver and, having watched the city evolve over the past 25 years, knows it really well. These assets and others have helped him make his mark as a realtor in just four years.

He rises and drinks tea, which he finds “rejuvenating,” and the rest of his schedule is devoted to professional activities — open houses, emails, prospecting, showings, paperwork and the like. No matter what he has planned for the day, however, he always dresses carefully. “A fresh look always helps me to start my day beautifully. It doesn’t matter what’s going on — attitude is everything.” He works tirelessly with buyers and sellers, ranging from young people in their 20s just out of university and seeking their first home all the way to people in their late 70s downsizing and looking for retirement homes.

He takes a profoundly personal approach to his job. “It’s never mechanical. I thrive on connecting deeply with each one of my clients throughout the buying and selling process, which benefits us both. Working as a realtor this way exposes me to many successful, heartwarming and rewarding experiences that are deeply gratifying.” Many of his clients come through word of mouth or referrals, which is perhaps the ultimate professional compliment. Whether they are new clients or people he’s already met, he relates to them all as friends that he cares about. He has often stopped clients from moving ahead with a deal until he helps them thoroughly analyze the pros and cons. “I study everything I sell from the inside out, and I am passionate about it. I value my clients. Years ago, my mentor, Norman Li, instilled in me the value of being truthful and respectful to everyone I work with. He taught me to never rush to close a deal just to close it, and that advice has served me well. You want to be able to give all your clients top value and be able to look them in the eye when you see them again!”

ho hasn’t dreamed of an idyllic retirement? It’s what we all work so hard for. And when that day comes, we want to live out the dream: awakening to ocean views, joining our friends for social and leisurely pursuits, eating well and in good company, and feeling like a valuable member of the community. And now, in White Rock, that dream is within reach. Oceana PARC, which opened in September, is not your typical re-
tirement home. Its calm, open spaces adorned with nautical decor reflect its seaside location. “You will not find traditional dark colours and grandiose furniture here but rather cozy, modern, yet welcoming furnishings and bright smiles,” says Shelley Grenier, general manager.

The 23-storey condo building offers ocean views to the south, and mountain views to the north, but even more importantly, it provides an array of amenities that truly elevate retirement living. “All of our amenities are popular and one of the reasons people choose Oceana PARC, whether it’s our world class fitness centre, the various dining venues, the programs and services that promote a healthy and active lifestyle with friends or the various niches where you can read a book and just enjoy the sunshine,” Grenier says. And who hasn’t dreamed of having access to their own state-of-theart culinary team? “PARC residents can choose where and when to dine,” says Grenier, “either in the casual Sea Breeze Cafe or Salish Sea fine dining room, or grab a bite and specialty coffee at the Driftwood Grab and Go, or belly up to the bar at the Sea Breeze Lounge and take advantage of our unique appie menu.”

FOR THE ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
PARC Retirement Living, the parent company of Oceana PARC, plans to open its PARC Fit & Wellness Centre to the public early next year. Classes include: yoga, slider disk, bender ball, circuit training and personal training with state of the art equipment. Residents can round out the mind-body connection with art workshops, meditation classes, movies in the on-site theatre as well as billiards and cards in the games room. They also organize weekly outings to make the most of the surrounding community. “PARC is ideal for independent seniors who are looking for a sense of community with like-minded individuals,” Grenier says. “The most important factor for me is fit. Individuals who are young at heart, active and want to be engaged in the community would benefit most from living at Oceana PARC.”

A LOOK, A LIFESTYLE OR A STATEMENT
PTIMISM. ENERGY. AMBITION. IT’S THE WEST COAST WAY.
The wonderful thing about “West Coast style” is that it flows seamlessly between appearances, attitudes and actions. The common thread connecting these seemingly disparate elements is that they all evolved west of the Rockies. The early physical isolation of West Coast existence allowed for the development of a style unencumbered by the Sauron-like eye found to the east. Thus unshackled, our early pioneers forged unique and personal senses of self and societal aspirations. The words “West Coast” conjure up images of ocean views, green forests and snowcapped mountains – but to accept that as the West Coast’s totality would be very lazy writing indeed. It is so much more. When it comes to fashion, West Coast style is yoga gear and wooden windows; it’s blue-jean Fridays and iconic personal ink. It’s a “comfortable-in-casual” elegance born of confidence in the things that actually matter, the things that actually should and can make a difference. We of the west are not beholden to the circumspection of the east. We are the manifestation of an eclectic fusion of global influences. And proudly so. Our environmental attitudes are absolute because of the rainforest in which we live. The undeniable grandeur of our geography demands that we act as responsible stewards for our natural resources. We know that to do any less would diminish not just this iteration of our population, but all generations to follow. We conduct ourselves accordingly. West Coast style is so much more than just a look, a lifestyle or a statement. It supersedes being “woke” or “lit” or even just being cool. It is an intoxicating blend of optimism, energy and ambition. The combination of these forces affect how we see, do and act in this world. West Coast style? It is a privilege.
