Imagine this: you’re on a game show and have 10 seconds to answer this question to win: What are the two major challenges homebuyers have to face when looking for a new home? The seconds are ticking and before the answer comes to you, the buzzer goes off. Given enough time, what would have been your answer? Of course, this is real life, not a game show, and there are many pieces to the homebuying puzzle. However, from our perspective — and if we were answering that question — our pick for the two major challenges facing new homebuyers are lack of knowledge and finding an affordable home, especially when it’s a first-time purchase. If you face either of these hurdles, read on. Education is the key to understanding what we want in life and purchasing a home in today’s hot and volatile market is no exception. The more knowledge you have, the better you’ll be able to find your dream home or investment. To help you reach your goals, the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN) team has put together a free online video resource of industry experts sharing their best practices and experiences. Turn to page 32 to find out more. Housing affordability is not just a catch-phrase — it’s a real concern. While there are many routes to take to owning your own home, coownership is an alternative that you may not have known about or considered. What to know more? On page 30, you’ll find writer Susan Boyce’s 10 minutes with Noam Dolgin, co-founder of Collaborative Homeownership BC (CoHo BC). As always, this issue is packed with other great articles to help you find, purchase and decorate your new home. We hope you enjoy what you see. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

SYDNEY

TIME TO CELEBRATE Ledingham McAllister recently held a “topping off” party for its luxurious new West Coquitlam tower, Sydney, located near the prestigious Vancouver Golf Club. The happy team was joined by city of Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart, Councillor Craig Hodge, Councillor Brent Asmundson, and Councillor Steve Kim for a ceremonial final concrete pour on the 25th floor. Sydney is a collection of 160, one-bedroom and den to threebedroom luxury residences and is said to be poised to reshape the skyline of West Coquitlam. Sydney is slated for completion in the fall of 2022.

Rising construction costs The president of Rennie Group, Greg Zayadi, recently spoke at a meeting of the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association about the impact costs are having on the industry. He cited three main reasons for this: the cost of materials, supply chain issues and a building boom. 10

New Home + Condo Guide | April 16–30, 2022

Land prices and construction costs that were both in the $250- to $300-sq.-ft. range a few years ago, today are often closer to $500 per sq. ft. “We’ve seen a 30 percent increase over the past 14 to 16 months, putting a lot of pressure on the real estate market,” he said.

DID YOU KNOW?

The number of people who moved to British Columbia reached a new record in 2021. According to the breakdown of new data from Statistics Canada, net migration in B.C. reached 100,797 — the highest annual total since 1961.

Bauhaus influence European art aficionados recognize how the German Bauhaus movement has had a major influence on architecture and interior design throughout the world. Award-winning developer, Everglade, took inspiration from that popular movement to create Oakhaus, a sophisticated collection of 20 townhomes within walking distance to Oakridge Park. This isn’t the first time Everglade took its creative cue from old-world classic architecture. Its last sold-out project, West Richmond’s MANOIR, re-interprets elegant French design in its manor townhomes. Oakhaus is launching in mid-May. Register now at oakhausliving.ca

For discerning buyers Executive on the Park, Executive Group’s newest project in West Vancouver, is right across from Park Royal, and minutes from Ambleside Park and the Capilano River. As part of its community contribution, the developer is preserving the iconic Woyat Bowie building, which sits adjacent to Executive on the Park. The eight-storey building is expected to become a new landmark of 88 condos and townhomes surrounded by lush landscaping and an intimate parkette at the gateway of West Vancouver.

Mark your calendar The Urban Development Institute (UDI) is hosting a luncheon on April 20 with guest speaker, Kevin Quinn, CEO of Translink. He will be discussing how TransLink is preparing for the year ahead, what’s next for the future of transit and how this will affect the development industry.

There is no denying the benefits of transit-oriented development — easier travel between work and home, reduced GHG emissions and healthier communities. For more information or to purchase a ticket, visit udi. memberzone.com/events. nexthome.ca

Cover Story

Altus White Rock living White Rock: a seaside community that’s beloved by people who live here and sought after by those who don’t. Strolling the famous White Rock Promenade, browsing the city’s eclectic array of art galleries and family-run boutiques, or sharing a meal with friends in one of the many restaurants are traditional joys in every season. So, it’s no wonder Altus is turning heads and capturing hearts among homebuyers looking for something special in the place they choose to call home. “This is such a beautiful 14

New Home + Condo Guide | April 16–30, 2022

community,” says Stan Wong, finance director with Oviedo Properties. “And our location opposite the Peace Arch Hospital at Russell and Finlay means you’re walking distance to all the shops and amenities of Uptown district and Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, yet because you’re surrounded by single-family homes, it still feels tranquil and relaxing.” aLL about LifeStyLe

On schedule for move-in later this spring, Altus is thoughtfully designed to create an engaged, luxurious

lifestyle. Interior features include an entertainment-sized island often with display shelving and wine storage, custom millwork throughout, and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows to fill your home with natural light. Naturally, since savouring the great outdoors is a treasured part of our West Coast lifestyle, every Altus home includes a patio space with a natural gas hook up for your BBQ. “We also focused on providing amenities people will actually use,” Stan says. “Swimming pools, for example, are extremely expensive to maintain and have a low margin of usage. Instead, we’ve provided things like a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a fireside lounge with pool table and caterer’s kitchen, an expansive deck with outdoor kitchen, even a dedicated dog wash because we want to look after the many buyers

who include four-footed friends in their family.” He adds that as online shopping continues to proliferate, it’s become essential to have a secure parcel delivery room. At Altus, this new necessity has been taken one step farther with a full-time concierge to not only ensure parcels are safely stowed until the owner gets home, but to also look after a myriad of other daily tasks. And how’s this for an environmentally savvy bonus? “We’re the first residential development in Canada to provide access to EV charging stations for 100 percent of our owners,” Stan says. “Every parking stall comes equipped with its own charging station, so you’re never waiting for someone else to finish.” Plus, for the many people who prefer two wheels to four, there’s the peace of mind that comes with secure bike storage. Altus offers 126 homes above streetlevel retail — including a family-run, artisan coffee shop —and a second level of legal and medical services. Presentation centre is open Monday through Thursday by appointment or weekends between noon and 5 p.m. at 1589 Maple Street. Be sure to ask how you can secure your home for just five percent down.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

WHITE ROCK POSTCARD VIEWS AND LIVING THE BEACH LIFE by JANINE MACKIE

This seaside city near the BC/Washington border has blossomed since its early days as a weekend getaway and retirement mecca! Postcard views frame the historic pier and iconic white boulder. Surrounded by Surrey on three sides, White Rock’s boundaries are Bergstrom Rd. (136 St.) west, North Bluff Rd. (16 St.) north, Stayte Rd. (160 St.) east, and Marine Dr. south. LIFESTYLE

Sunsets and seaside views. Two scoops of gelato. Fish and chip dinners serenaded by a symphony of seagulls. Simply put, White Rock is living the beach life with a dash of prestige. Many locals grew up vacationing here, and stayed to raise their own families. A closeknit, small town 16

vibe. People shop local, stop to chat on the oceanfront promenade and love annual events like the Sea Festival. THE VIBE

Truth be told, White Rock was once nicknamed “the town of newlyweds and nearly dead.” While its mild sunny climate continues to attract active retirees, its upmarket real estate has attracted affluent young people. Seniors on scooters claim the sidewalks, while SUVs take to the roads transporting kids to their math tutors and hockey practices. DOLLARS AND SENSE

HOT SPOTS

WHITE ROCK BEACH, PIER AND PROMENADE Fly kites, build sandcastles or wave at the passing trains. The promenade spans from the paddle board rentals at East Beach to the souvenir shops and restaurants at West Beach.

shops, including World Serve on Johnston and Peace Arch Hospital Auxiliary on Prospect — often selling contents of local estates. THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE REST

“More sunshine and less rain” mean more days for kayaking, pier jumping or scaling the legendary white rock

(glacier deposit) that sits on the 5km stretch of sandy beach. Locals appreciate the small-town feel, spectacular sunsets and accessibility to neighbouring Ocean Park. What’s not to love? Beach traffic along Marine Dr. on a sunny Sunday afternoon and high property taxes.

SEMIAHMOO SHOPPING CENTRE At the hub of 152 St. and 16 Ave., this mall is technically in Surrey, but meets the residents’ essential needs — groceries, banks, restaurants, dentists and variety of shops.

ADVICE | MORTGAGE MINUTE

DON’T JEOPARDIZE YOUR MORTGAGE FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT THE APPROVAL PROCESS

ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD

You saved enough money for the down payment for your new home and now you are excited to buy a property. You also spent 18

New Home + Condo Guide | April 16–30, 2022

a considerable amount of time looking for the right home and your mortgage has been approved. However, did you know that significant changes to your finances can affect your mortgage approval? In fact, lenders can cancel your mortgage approval any time before it closes if your financial situation changes. Which brings us to the point of this article: the mortgage

“

… lenders can cancel your mortgage approval any time before it closes if your financial situation changes.

”

approval process is about more than having the down payment. Some of the other factors lenders also consider are your income, employment history, credit history and property, among other things. Most lenders request that credit bureau reports are pulled within 30 days of the mortgage approval, and they may even request a new one between the mortgage approval and funding date, especially when there is a long period between the two. HELPFUL TIPS

Keep these factors in mind during the time between when your mortgage is approved and when you receive the funds of your mortgage. • Don’t buy a new car or trade-up to a more expensive lease. At this time, it could create an issue, as the car

payments could put you at the top of your debt servicing. An increase/ additional payment may make you ineligible for the mortgage you need. • Don’t quit your job or change jobs. Even if it’s a better-paying job, you still are likely to be on a probationary period. If in doubt, call your mortgage expert and he or she can let you know if this may jeopardize your approval. • Don’t change industries, decide to become self-employed or accept a contract position even if it’s within the same industry. Any changes could definitely jeopardize your mortgage approval. • Don’t transfer large sums of money between bank accounts. Lenders get especially skittish about this one because it looks like you are borrowing money. Be ready to document cash transactions or money movements. • Don’t delay paying your bills on time, even ones that you are disputing. This can be a legitimate deal-breaker. If the lender pulls your credit record just prior to the closing and sees a collection or a delinquent account, the best you can hope for is that they make you pay off the account before they will fund your mortgage. You don’t want to have to scramble to pay off a debt at the last minute or even worse, put your approval at risk! • Don’t open new credit cards or apply for any new type of credit. Just wait until after your funding date. • Don’t co-sign a loan for anyone. You may completely trust the person you are co-signing for and know they can make the payments. However, as a co-signer, you are legally responsible for making any of the payments if they are not made. This could affect your ability to meet your mortgage payments. • Don’t accept a cash gift without properly documenting it – even if this is from proceeds of a wedding.

“

It is important to do your due diligence and know as much as possible and make informed decisions on your path to homeownership.

”

If you have a bunch of cash to deposit before your funding date, give your mortgage expert a call before you deposit it. • Don’t buy furniture on the “Do not pay for XX number of years plan” until after funding. Even though you don’t have to pay now, it will still be reported on your credit bureau, and will become an issue, especially if your mortgage approval was tight on the debt service ratios to begin with. DUE DILIGENCE

Buying a home and getting approved for a mortgage is not meant to be a difficult process. It is important to do your due diligence and know as much as possible and make informed decisions on your path to homeownership. If you are in doubt, it’s always best to call your mortgage expert before making a move that could jeopardize your approval.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

BRENTWOOD A LAID-BACK VIBE by MIKE ARCHIBALD A quiet, pretty pocket of Burnaby, this small neighbourhood is located between Lougheed Highway in the south, Hastings St. in the north, Springer Ave. in the east and Willingdon Ave. in the west. It’s a place of condos, modest homes, pleasant parks and friendly folks, and the stretch of Hastings St. offers small-business shopping at its best, from bakeries to ramen. LIFESTYLE

It’s the best of both worlds in Brentwood: you’ve got a mellow residential area bordered on the north 26

New Home + Condo Guide | April 16–30, 2022

by a nearly corporate-free shopping district. The houses are older—i.e. better looking—and quite compact, with cozy cul-de-sacs here and there. The southern boundary consists of Brentwood Town Centre, which is balanced by the presence of a Skytrain station in the same spot. THE VIBE

Laid back is the best expression to sum up Brentwood: there’s very little noise north of the town centre, and the mood is sedate. It’s a nice walk to the commercial district on Hastings, where there are lots of places to

chill—and chilling is what you’ll see on a sunny day, with legions of residents enjoying coffee and biscotti outside cafes or ambling leisurely through a grocery trip. MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

According to the City of Burnaby’s Neighbourhood Profiles, this is a relatively young neighbourhood, with the largest age bracket being 20-44. Second in the age stats is the 45-64 bracket. The area is ethnically diverse, with nearly half the population consisting of immigrants. It’s a middle-class neighbourhood, with

HOT SPOTS

CHEZ CHRISTOPHE Everybody say, “mmmm.” Christophe’s creations are heaven for the taste buds, and as a Swiss-trained chocolatier, he brings expertise and refined taste to his work. The creations are truly inspired.

TAKE SUSHI

families housed in neat condos and little one-level homes. IN THE AREA

Brentwood Park is a spacious, lush area for a stroll with the dog or fun with the kids; you might happen on some Tai Chi exercising as well. Adjoining it is Brentwood Preschool, and nearby are three places of worship: The Sanctuary, Holy Cross Church and Brentwood Park Alliance Church. Other amenities in the neighbourhood include Beecher Park and Alpha Secondary School. PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Lougheed Highway at the south is a major thoroughfare, but Hastings St. up top, while a main street, is quite mellow in terms of traffic, and

Willingdon Ave. isn’t very busy either. Together the bordering roads provide great transportation in and out of the neighbourhood. Public transportation is great, with multiple bus lines on Willingdon and Hastings and the Brentwood Town Centre Skytrain Station. Bike options are not great.

This is a cut above your average sushi spot. These guys get creative, with sashimi plates that are as beautiful to look at as they are scrumptious to eat. Special items include a fresh oyster dish—delicious.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE REST

What’s not to like? With two commercial centres at opposite ends and nothing but peace and quiet in between, it makes for the perfect environment for families (temporary residents and singles, not so much). And hey, if the suburbs are too quiet for you, the Skytrain will whisk you into Vancouver. The minus column is pretty empty, but one item in it is the relative lack of proper sidewalks.

BON BON BAKERY Italian baking! One look at the Wedding Cake Gallery and you know these guys are solid pros. Their pastries are also superb, and they have some very inspired cookie creations.

AffordAble homeownership Through co-ownership By SuSan M Boyce Affordable homeownership — it’s a topic everyone has an opinion about. In this issue, we speak with Noam Dolgin, who weighs in on why he believes co-ownership is an innovative — and more importantly a viable — solution to the housing crunch. And as co-founder of Collaborative Homeownership BC (CoHo BC), he’s helping people of all ages and demographics rediscover the benefits of this time-honoured route to owning their home. 30 New Home + Condo Guide | April 16–30, 2022

new home + condo Guide: In many cultures, co-ownership has a long tradition. What are some of the benefits of this type of purchase? noam dolgin: The two most obvious benefits are the economic advantage and the ability to access different housing types. For example, in many parts of Metro Vancouver, a small, one-bedroom condo is going to cost you at least $600,000. If you got together with two friends or family members, you could purchase

a $1.5-million townhouse with two or three times the square footage, a yard, and a garage for $500,000 each. There’s also another benefit; it’s a huge social value. It’s been well documented that people live longer, happier lives when they don’t feel isolated, but as cities get increasingly dense, people do feel isolated. With co-ownership, you can share meals when you choose to, if there are kids they can play together, and you know there’s someone watching out if you’re away.

nh+cG: Is co-ownership possible if you don’t want to live in the same space with the other co-owners? nd: Absolutely. In fact, most clients I deal with buy suited units or perhaps a laneway house. Just recently in Victoria, two sisters and a close friend—all in their late 50s— purchased a house with a young woman, a stranger, in her 20s. They each owned a quarter share, and the stranger had the self-contained basement suite to herself while the other three had the rest of the house. There were also three lots in Horseshoe Bay that had eight cabins on them. Two couples and six other individuals bought the entire property—meaning they each owned a one-eighth share—and they can live there year-round. nh+cG: Isn’t it risky to purchase a property with someone you don’t know? nd: I compare the process to marriage. Matching the right house

with the right people is like dating. When you’ve found the right match and you’re ready to get engaged, you hire a lawyer to draw up an agreement — like a prenuptial agreement — to lay out each party’s responsibilities. And once that is done, you finally purchase the property. We actually have one woman in our office, Liz, who is our official matchmaker for buyers who are interested in this type of housing. nh+cG: What happens if one owner wants to sell and move on? nd: It’s essential to have a legal agreement drawn up as part of the purchase that clearly defines an exit strategy. Usually, it’s structured with three options: the partner who’s remaining can buy out the other; the partner who’s leaving can sell their shares to another party; or the entire property can be sold. I also recommend a lock-out period. This means the property can’t be sold within the first three years.

“

With co-ownership, you can share meals when you choose to, if there are kids they can play together, and you know there’s someone watching out if you’re away.

”

The agreement also defines what happens if one party doesn’t pay their share of the agreed upon expenses. nh+cG: Any final thoughts? nd: This type of homeownership isn’t that different from conventional strata. But, how much better is it when you know, trust, and like your neighbours before you buy? Plus, you can define your policies about how things will be run, rather than dealing with ones that could have been written decades ago.

Association (CHOA) highlights how lifestyle choices like hobbies, entertainment and career need to be factored into the buying decision for people who are choosing lock’n’go strata living. And he stresses the important reading — yes, every word — of strata minutes, bylaws, corporation insurance coverage, depreciation reports and other documentation to protect what for most people is the biggest investment of their lives. • Shayne Ramsey, CEO of BC Housing, discusses the pros and cons of buying versus renting. With a positive history as both a renter and a homeowner, Ramsey examines the meaning of home, provides insights to help you determine the right path for you, and explores different housing forms.

PARK & MAVEN DISCOVER LIFE AS IT SHOULD BE Something new and exciting is coming to Langley’s Willowbrook neighbourhood. Introducing Park & Maven, a dazzling master-planned community nestled into a lush, 15acre site that was once a popular golf course. More than 365 mature trees will be retained and an additional 635 more planted to augment the tranquil, outdoor-oriented setting. Two ponds, a meandering stream, three outdoor playgrounds, garden plots, park benches and walking trails complete the sense of being surrounded by nature. And with a diverse range of home types, Parveen Rai, senior marketing manager, isn’t kidding when she says there truly is something for everyone, no matter where they are on the homeownership ladder. “The last two years have really taught us about the value of community,” she says. “At Park & Maven, there are so many

thoughtfully planned opportunities to engage with your neighbours. Whether it’s on an evening walk, sharing pruning tips with another gardener, or picking up your kids at the on-site daycare centre, life here makes it simple to connect.” SPACE TO CELEBRATE LIFE

Homes at Park & Maven are designed so you can live life large. “So often, it’s the little details that make such a difference,” Parveen says. “Things like walk-in closets and kitchen islands that easily accommodate four people — even in a one-bedroom home.” Two of her favourite floorplans, she adds, are the penthouse homes with a private rooftop deck and the garden suites featuring both interior and exterior front doors — meaning they’re perfect for people with pets. Then there’s The Maven House, the community’s 12,000 sq. ft., free-standing amenities building where you’ll discover a fitness centre,

dog wash, co-working spaces with private boardroom, and even a highly anticipated daycare. Need yet another enticement? In addition to having easy access to the burgeoning shops, restaurants, and services found at Willowbrook Town Centre and surrounding areas, Park & Maven is within walking distance from both the future Willowbrook and Fraser Highway SkyTrain stations that are part of the City of Surrey’s Expo Line expansion. Park & Maven’s presentation centre opens soon at 19310 Fraser Highway in Willowbrook.

HAYER TOWN CENTRE CELEBRATE URBAN LIVING by SUSAN M BOYCE

It’s official. The Township of Langley’s first urban modern master-planned community is a hit with homebuyers looking for a contemporary aesthetic paired with exceptional living spaces. “People are amazed by the size and functionality of these homes,” say Brandon Trent, Hayer Builders Group’s development manager. “And the solariums with retractable windows mean you’ve increased your usable space by up to 200 sq. ft.” No kidding. This state-of-the-art system effortlessly transitions from being an open-air front porch in warmer weather to a cozy entertainment space when temperatures drop, a 36

trendsetting innovation that’s unique in Metro Vancouver. YOUR HOME, YOUR STYLE

Interiors at Hayer Town Centre homes boast a contemporary, urbane ambience that effortlessly adapts to contemporary minimalism or warm, classic chic. It’s all about personal style and choices, because, you know it, choice is good. The sales gallery’s one-bedroom display suite boasts a crisp, modern look and some super cool innovations starting with the kitchen’s centre island that features space below to tuck your barstools out of sight. No

need for a dining table, although Brandon points out you could easily put one in the solarium, add a chandelier, and presto… a formal dining room has just magically appeared. Across the hall, the two-bedroom display suite has the welcoming feel of a downsizer’s dream. The backsplash here is a traditional herringbone pattern to match the design style. Brandon and I compare notes on the kitchen cabinets and immediately agree there’s more storage here than in some singlefamily homes. And when you’re ready to invite the family for a holiday

dinner, there’s easy seating for six to eight people at the table. Both bedrooms are spacious enough for not just a queen-sized bed, but a king with night tables. Clearly, this is no-compromise, stylish living at its finest. COME SEE FOR YOURSELF

“People haven’t been able to have the full sales experience for two years,” Brandon says as we wander through a comfortable closing room

that feels more like a lounge. “We’re excited to welcome people back to experience the reality of our vision for this community.” The Hayer Town Centre sales gallery and two display homes are now previewing by appointment only at 19920 – 76th Avenue in Langley. Prices start in the mid$500,000s. Visit hayerbuildersgroup. com/hayertowncentre or call 604.800.9662 for more information.

the kitchen

Three savvy sTorage soluTions for

rom dishes and small appliances to pantry items, cleaning supplies and knickknacks, the kitchen houses a million things, with about as many places to store them all. The table, counter and the top of the fridge aren’t among them, and those bins and baskets can only go so far. So, where to put it all? From a designer’s perspective, storage is a critical part of every plan. It is the first step to creating a stylish and more importantly, a functional kitchen. Here are three areas in your kitchen to amp up your storage, and examples of how it was done in this kitchen project.

40 New Home + Condo Guide | April 16–30, 2022

Cabinets Let’s start here, since these will eat up the biggest chunk of your kitchen space, and account for a considerable visual portion as well. From a use-of-space perspective, I always recommend adding extended uppers to maximize every inch. Typically, the area between the cabinet tops and ceiling only collects dust. Why not put that extra foot of vertical space to good use, with an additional cabinet shelf running the perimeter of your kitchen? While it’s a bit harder to reach, this area provides tons of valuable storage space for occasional use or seasonal items.

Esthetically, extended uppers have a polished, streamlined look, and they don’t even have to run all the way up to the ceiling. In this kitchen, we left a gap above the cabinets, which became a nice visual detail. The cabinets include a combination of solid and glass doors, adding further visual interest and a lovely way to display select kitchen collections. Matching solid panels hide the appliances, giving the space a sleek look. Your lower cabinets can also be customized with drawers, shelves and racks to be easily on hand, neatly and efficiently.

The Island This is the focus of many kitchens today, due to its central positioning in the room and its many functions. Whether it’s used to slice and dice food, to dish it out, or for entertaining and dining, the island is ground zero for much of the action that happens in the kitchen. Your island takes up a significant portion of your kitchen, with lots of potential storage space that can be customized to meet your unique needs. Consider first how you will be using the island, then ensure it’s well-equipped to meet those needs. For example, if you intend to use

it for food prep, your cabinets and shelves should accommodate cutting boards, knives, bowls, spices and anything else you might need for the task. Keep in mind that if you plan to include a sink, cooktop or a pull-out trash bin in your island, those will reduce the amount of storage space available under the counter. Weigh your needs and wants and decide what takes priority.

Furniture This is possibly the simplest way to add storage to your kitchen, and probably the most cost-efficient, too. Kitchen furniture, aside from the

obligatory table and chairs, doesn’t get enough credit – or enough use. Non-permanent pieces such as a sideboard or shelves can help keep extra dishes or small appliances, while adding style without the commitment. Before you buy, ensure your kitchen is big enough, with ample space to move freely around it. The kitchen takes a lot of heat, particularly if it’s not cutting it storagewise. A kitchen redesign or renovation is the perfect opportunity to evaluate your needs and wishes, and “bake” them right into the bones of the space. Work with a design firm to put those plans into action.

With the rise of small spaces, designers are finding creative solutions to maximize every inch

A winning small

open-concept kitchen design

by Laura Hay • photos GiLLian Jackson

his townhouse kitchen with adjacent family room was destined to be the most used space in the home. The room spans the width of the house, but the living area portion was shallow and its relationship with the kitchen was intimate. When you find yourself living in close quarters, you quickly learn that your relationships with those around you are even more important. The same is true for the spaces within a

New Home + Condo Guide | April 16–30, 2022

small, open-plan home. Areas in close proximity are related geographically and in other ways, too. The visual transition from one area to the next needs to be smooth. Colour schemes, materials and the broader esthetic should relate. In an open-concept kitchen and living area such as this one, visual cohesion is critical. In an open-concept home, the kitchen is so much more than a foodprep and eating area. It often doubles as a homework area and home office, triples as an entertaining space and

games room. In addition, a wall-less floorplan means the kitchen is likely the first thing you see when you enter the home, so you want to ensure that a welcoming view greets you. You can create continuity by carrying the same flooring in the living areas and into the kitchen. Consistent hardwood throughout will create the illusion of more space by blurring the boundary between the kitchen, living room and any other adjoining areas. By the same token, use a common colour palette for the whole open

area. This doesn’t necessarily mean you have to use one colour; but rather, make sure your choices are complementary. Remember, the goal is continuous flow. In this connected kitchen and living area, we achieved continuity with a design that prioritized a furniture feel, as opposed to letting the kitchen chaos overwhelm. We integrated all the kitchen appliances with panels and added touch-latch mechanisms to avoid having hardware on most of the kitchen cabinetry. The media wall was designed as part of the kitchen millwork. By repeating elements, such as the black accents on the oak veneers, we created visual balance and unity in the space. The decor was thoughtfully selected with layers of texture and a repetition of tonal taupe and greige that blends with the walls and draperies, leaving the room feeling light and airy. Richly hued, luxurious fabrics on the contrasting toss cushions were inspired by the modern art featured in the room.

The three Kelly Wearstler hanging pendant lamps suspended over the kitchen island feature a curvilinear design that complements the customdesigned range hood, while providing some relief from the modern linear elements throughout the space. The island itself serves as a functional feature and a visual anchor for the space, seamlessly leading us from the living room into the kitchen. Used as a spacious food prep area, serving and dining space, it eliminates the need for a dining table and chairs,

and frees up valuable space for other essentials. Make the most of this essential by investing in a quality countertop and if you’re including a kit, a great sink from a reputable brand like Blanco. Whether spacious or small like this one, the kitchen is the hub of the home. Invest in the best you can afford and work with an experienced designer to ensure your kitchen delivers on function and style, within the greater context of your home and life.

A trio of meticulously crafted, luxury townhome communities — Just West, Seasons and Dahlia — have been wowing savvy homebuyers looking for the perfect one bed plus flex garden suite or three- and four-bedroom townhomes. MODERN BY DESIGN

Each townhome community in The QE Collection is thoughtfully designed with Sightline’s meticulous attention to details that makes life more comfortable and enjoyable. Exteriors are dramatic and modern, with lavish landscaping to complement the quiet, treelined streets found throughout this prestigious neighbourhood. Plus, there are rooftop patios perfect for outdoor entertaining, parking stalls pre-wired for EV charging stations, and individual eco-friendly heat pumps to help reduce your carbon footprint. Interiors are an oasis of function and beauty. “Even our standard specifications are much higher than anything else currently being offered along the Cambie Corridor,” says Chris Scully, Sales Director with KEY Marketing. Rapidly, he lists off just a few: gourmet kitchens with a state-of-the-art Miele

YOUR HOME, YOUR WAY

With 50 years of construction experience, Sightline Properties is committed to building more than just homes. They build strong communities that enhance the character of the surrounding neighbourhood and create unique living spaces for the people who live there. “These aren’t cookie-cutter homes,” Scully explains. “Sightline really listens to what their homeowners love about their home and then expands on those features. No one does townhomes as well as Sightline… period. And because there are so many colour choices for kitchens and bathrooms, no two are exactly alike. So, if in the future you do decide to sell, your home will stand out as one-of-a-kind.”
