Vancouver is a relatively young city, and didn\u2019t develop a well known style until after WWII. This new aesthetic emerged into what we refer to today as \u201cWest Coast Style\u201d. It\u2019s a contemporary design that prioritizes its vistas and takes advantage of its natural resources, not surprising this includes local wood.\u00a0<\/p><p>Vancouver is often referred to as the \u201ccity of glass\u201d, for its extensive use of glass and natural lighting. I live in a part of Vancouver called Fairview. My townhome was build in the mid 1980s when this neighbourhood was really taking off. A prominent design style of the time was Post Modernism. Many of the buildings in this area have nods to the Mediterranean or Southern California (lots of stucco, roof parallels, open common courtyards, arched windows).\u00a0<\/p><div><b>Step 4:\u00a0<\/b><\/div><div>Evaluate your choices with history and heart of the city in mind. Knowing these facts made it easier to make my own design choices. I tried to honour modernism, by selecting contemporary silhouettes and natural finishes that aligned with this ethos. ie.
