HOME & GARDEN
PNE home light and airy

WARMTH, LIGHT,
spaciousness... these are the
hallmarks ‘of this year’s Prize
Home at Vancouver's Pacific Na-
tional Exhibition. Built by
Chaparral Industries of Kelowna,
B.C.*s largest producer of
modular homes,the Prize Home
combines traditional luxury with
the most modern factory-building
techniques. And it has already
won high praise from its interior
designer.

The 2,300 square-foot home is
the first PNE Prize Home to be
designed by the winner of an ar-
chitectural design contest, award-
ed to David Love of Raymond
Ching Architects in Vancouver.

The winning design was
tendered to modular builders who
could meet stringent PNE, Quality
Plus, and BC Hydro Power Smart
criteria.

‘Because it’s built in our fac-
tory, the home is fabricated under
a program of strict quality control
and protected from adverse
weather,’* says Ted Sommerfield,
Chaparral president. ‘Efficient
factory building means cost sav-
ings and speedy construction.
We've Mt over 660 homes the
last dev .-iv. largely customized to
our clig'.:.  ishes.’”

Award-winning designer Peter
Garrett of Vancouver, who pro-
duced the home’s interior design,
calls it a ‘‘lovely home. Theze is a
tremendous sense of space, light
and openness, yet there’s aiso
privacy. It's an elegant but casual
environment. The took combines
traditional and modern elements,
and there is a strong theme of
southern California and the
southwest, reinforced by the clay
tile roof. Everything blends
together nicely.”

The light, airy feeling derives
from the vaulted, angular ceilings;
the skylights; large corner win-
dows that extend 13 feet up io the
ceiling; and a color scheme of
peach, soft taupe, and pale
greens.

Home features include three
bedrooms; three bathrooms; a
powder room, living room, and a
den/study; built-in inter-
com/stereo, vacuum and security
systems; a double gas fireplace
and plant bcidge that separate the
family and dining rooms; and a
master bedroom ensuite with
sunken jetied tub, shower,
skylights, and glass-block wall.
The vaulted kitchen features
marble-style flooring, white-wrap

New bridge
planned for
Capilano

THE GREATER Vancouver
Regional District. is planning
teconstruction or replacement of
the heavily-used Cable Pool
Bridge near the fish hatchery in
Capilano River Regional Park,
North Vancouver.

The bridge, a key part of the
park’s trail system, was recently
closed for a number a days while
interim repairs were carried out.
Officials are now considering
whether to rebuild the existing
structure or replace it with a new
crossing in the same area, which
would be built to handicapped-
access standards.

The cost of replacement is
estimated at $150,000.

Replacement of a section of the
Capilano Pacific Walk in front of
the Woodcroft development,
washed away by floods a number
of years ago, has alsa been ap-
proved by the GVRD_ providing
acceptable funding arrangements
ean be made.

_

cabinets and green counter tops.
The home is surrounded by decks
for indoor and outdoor living,
and contains what Garrett calls
“tons of closet space."’

Garrett has designed over 1,700
model homes for developers in
Canada and the U.S., including
“Street of Dreams’’ models for a
number of West Coast cities, and
has had his work featured in Ar-
chitectural Digest and Sunset
magazines. Garrett received the

prestigious Alumnus of Distince-
tion Award from San Francisco
State University.

Comprised of seven separate
modules or sections, the house
was fabricated in Chaparral’s
36,000 square-foot Kelowna plant
and delivered to the PNE grounds
by special air-float trailers. The
prize home will be relocated to the
Brookside subdivision in Surrey
after the winner’s name is drawn
at the close of the fair.
