Vancouver firm wins the 100-mile house challenge We all know of the challenges of only eating foods that are grown within 100 miles of Vancouver. But what about how difficult (or easy) it would be to build a house using materials and technology sourced within 100 miles? In February, the Architecture Foundation of British Columbia (AFBC) launched its 100 Mile House Ideas Competition. The aim was to challenge the way we think about our buildings and how we choose to live in them, asking: • Can we build our cities, our homes, with materials close at hand? • Have we become so dependent on materials with high embodied energies and transportation costs that we cannot imagine a different way of sourcing and constructing the most fundamental building block of our cities – the single family home? There were entries from 17 countries for their submissions. The jury had a difficult time selecting the five winners, hailing from Canada, the US, the UK, and Spain. The winners, in order, along with their cash prizes are: • 1st Prize: Tony Osborn, Vancouver ($5,000) For Myco House, which proposes new materials such as masonry block made from mushroom mycelium, lime-hemp plaster, limepozzolan concrete, and using pine beetle wood. The judges said “It uses both active and passive environmental technologies to achieve net zero energy use. Its external rain-screen skin, protecting a Passivhaus envelope, has been designed to be interchangeable to suit contexts, legislation, and material availability. All major materials and components of this net zero house can be sourced locally from the 100 mile radius of Vancouver’s city centre.” • 2nd Prize: Neil Burford, Alex Pearson, Joseph Thurrott Architects, Dundee, Scotland ($2,500) For Zero E House, using passive design and environmental technology to create a net zero carbon and energy footprint. • 3rd Prize: Won Jin Park from New York ($1,000) For New Model, using adaptability, urban agriculture and passive design to create an affordable home. • Innovation Prize: Renee Ferguson & Michelle Krochmal Oyster Bay, NY ($1,000) For Bee House • Student Prize: Laura Diaz & Dario Adaíl Ferrer, Madrid, Spain ( $500) All 57 entries will be available for viewing at: 100mh.architecturefoundationbc.ca A selection of the submissions, including the five finalists, will also be on display at the upcoming IDSWest show at the Vancouver Convention Centre, as well as at a special event at a soon-TBA location (to be announced on the website).

Professional renovated homes open to public The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) invites the public to tour eight professionally renovated homes in Metro Vancouver, including four in the City of Vancouver, on Sunday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes, produced by the GVHBA Renovation Council and sponsored by FortisBC, showcases leading-edge design, advanced construction techniques and products, and energy-saving features. Renovations on display include the revitalization of a 1950s bungalow, restoration of a 1920s Vancouver heritage home, eco-chic kitchen, bathroom makeover, conversion of a Westside basement suite, an extensive interior and exterior renovation, and a contemporary whole-house transformation. GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson said Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend $3.8 billion sprucing up their homes this year, and this popular one-day event offers exceptional sample renovations. “Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship. Project values range from $135,000 to more than $800,000, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own renovations,” said Simpson. Admission is by passport, available at each home for $10 per person. Children 17 and under are free. Passports can be purchased at any home, and then used for entry to the remaining homes. Part proceeds from passport sales will help fund the purchase of tools, building materials and safety gear for a carpentry training program offered by Guildford Park and Frank Hurt secondary schools in Surrey. The event is limited to six hours, so visit www. gvhba.org to review the full list of participating 10

4785 WEST 2 AVENUE Designed by a prestigious Vancouver-based architectural firm, the house was originally built in 1932. Having never undergone any upgrades, the home’s plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems had to be upgraded, the roof replaced and the extensive water damage fixed. The owners’ vision and appreciation of the home’s heritage was incorporated into this whole-home renovation, as much of the original house as possible was rescued. As a result, the renovation created an updated open living space

2982 WEST 27 AVENUE These clients wanted to convert their typical Westside basement (damp with a low ceiling) into a well-appointed rental suite for investment purposes. The foundation was lowered by two feet then the space was completely modernized with up-to-date engineering and insulation. The totally transformed suite is now beautifully appointed with granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless-steel appliances and tile finishes. To add extra comfort to the basement suite, infloor and ceiling radiant heating were added. Nearing completion is a backyard laneway home that is open for viewing. Kemp Construction Management Ltd., (604) 948-1124, www. kempconstruction.ca 4930 WALDEN STREET This home was completely transformed to allow for an open-concept main floor. The home was updated in a funky contemporary style, including a larger kitchen that offers seating for six at the island. The dining room and living room were opened up to the kitchen, which provides a great ambiance for entertaining. A floating glass partition offers privacy to the powder room. The upper floor consists of a reconfigured master ensuite complete with a large walk-in shower, floating vanity with an eight-inch-deep countertop and a makeup counter. The kids’ bathroom was
NORTH VANCOUVER 4366 CANTERBURY CRESCENT This 1954 rancher needed to be modernized to accommodate the client’s lifestyle and design sensibilities. The homeowners’ love of midcentury modern architecture and style was the compass. The interior was opened up to create contemporary social spaces for family and friends. Initially, the plan was to only renovate the interior, but the homeowners decided to landscape the property as well, including an outdoor living room with gas firepit. Front retaining walls replaced aging stone walls. A kidney-shaped pool was filled in to create three separate outdoor living spaces. The kitchen/BBQ area is sheltered by a cedar pergola with a smoked glass roof. CCI Renovations, (604) 980-8384, www.ccirenos.com
