What is the Albrighton / modern blog / thespacelofts.com blog about?
This blog will mainly discuss topics to do with innovative architecture, building methods, and display some very nice real estate that reflect good design, and not "builder spec-specials". Additionally real estate topics and unique homes will be posted. There is never enough good architecture displayed on the net.

Best modern house in Vancouver? The Shaw House Point Grey Rd
Its your choice, but the Shaw house does rank very high on the top Vancouver Modern homes list. Overlooking English Bay, this private residence is organized simply, with living spaces on grade, private spaces above grade, and a music room below grade. The narrow dimensions of the site required placement of the lap pool on the second level, along the west side of the house. Small spaces are enlarged by generous ceiling heights, while the location of the lap pool brings both daylight and reflected light deep into the central areas.
The Shaw house is located on Point Grey Rd, Kitsilano, Vancouver on a narro 33' waterfront lot. Designed by Patkau architects at www.patkau.ca

What is actually selling in Vancouver Westside - including Downtown
What price ranges are actually selling in Vancouver Westside? Certainly with the doubled up listings since May 2008 - (May 2008 has close to 100% more listings available than May 2007) people would like to know what price ranges are receiving the most activity and sales. For Vancouver Westside including Downtown the current figures reported from the Great Vancouver Real Estate board are:
Attached (Includes Townhouses and Duplex's): Meidan price $748,000
Apartment (Includes all condos): Median price $444,500
These statistics lean towards the "bottom end" of the market generating the most activity, a common trend this year. Lower price ranges are recieving the most sales and demand.

Prefab Green homes that look spectacular
Living homes is a company that manufactures and "installs" pre fabricated homes. I've yet to hear of their products sold in Canada...yet. Their products look amazing, have high LEED ratings, and lead with new technology. Go to www.livinghomes.net to visit their really user friendly website which allows you to customize and configure your house like building a car with options all online, and it finishes with a price quote as well. This video below shows how a Living Home can be assembled in one day. The following home is a RK1 designed by architect Ray Kappe.
