Flavelle Mill – Port Moody

Flavelle OceanFront Development

 

The city of Port Moody is planning a major upscaling of its livability with the creation of an oceanfront community that supports a mix of uses, including a range of housing options, along with commercial, light industrial and recreational uses for the benefit of local residents and visitors. As currently envisioned by city planners and developers, the 34-acre Flavelle Lumber Mill will be transformed into a modern urban village that supports a population of about 7,000 residents and adds a wealth of economic, recreational, social, natural and entertainment benefits to Port Moody.

A variety of housing options are being considered for the development, with condominium buildings, street-oriented townhouses, rental housing, and the potential for house boats estimated to lead to the creation of almost 3,400 residential units. The expansive waterfront area will be revitalized and enhanced by the building of about 1.3 kilometres of new recreational trails, a boardwalk along the water’s edge connecting to Rocky Point Park, and the development of four park areas totalling 4.9 acres, and a 1.9-acre public plaza.

The Flavelle Oceanfront Development could lead to the creation of more than 1,000 on-site jobs upon completion, which could generate up to $57 million in annual employment income. Plans call for 99,000 square-feet of office space; 72,000 square feet of retail space, including a grocery store, restaurants and cafes; 103,000 square feet of light-industrial space; a 106,000 square-foot campus of care facility; and 75,000 square feet of live/work space designed for artistry and other creative ventures.

Developers and planners plan to utilize a sustainable approach in the development to ensure energy efficiency and environmental health. By using LEED Principles of design and construction, planners aim to make the development a model for sustainable communities. The site’s location will help in this regard, as it is in walking distance of both the nearby Sky Train Evergreen Line and West Coast Express, which provide easy connections to the rest of Metro Vancouver.

Public consultation has been an integral part of the planning process thus far, and is expected to continue as the planning stage moves through the ongoing permitting process. I will be keeping a close watch on this project going forward, and will provide updates when appropriate. If you have any questions about the Flavelle OceanFront Development project, or any other questions about real estate in Metro Vancouver, register with us today.

Listen to Episode 42 of Clever: Paola Antonelli

MoMA’s Senior Curator of Architecture & Design, Paola Antonelli, grew up steeped in the design culture of Milan and developed a sense of fearlessness from frequent travels to foreign lands. After studying architecture in school she landed in the curatorial arts without even aiming for it. She talks to Amy and Jaime about how she views objects as lenses for understanding the complexity of the built world and her passionate belief that cultural institutions, like museums, are the R&D of society. *Swoon*

Geode Generative Jigsaw Puzzles by Nervous System

We’ve long been fans of Nervous System and they’re back with a new series of generative jigsaw puzzles that are inspired by geology. Geode, and their larger sibling Orbicular, look as if they’re sliced sections of colorful banded agate stones instead of puzzles made of a birch plywood.

This new wave of puzzles were created using a new generative system called Maze for making the puzzle cuts in these distorted shapes.

Each puzzle features a computer generated image of an algorithmic geode that’s then cut into a maze-like pattern for you to solve. The pieces feature intertwining arms that make the puzzles more fun and more of a challenge to put together. Geode puzzles include about 180 pieces with four crystal-themed additions, while Orbicular puzzles contain approximately 360 pieces with five crystal-themed ones.

The Secret Lives of Fruits and Vegetables by Maciek Jasik

With Halloween tomorrow we thought we would share a visual ghost story… Here is a beautiful tribute to the origins, mythology, and symbolism of fruits and vegetables by Polish-born, NYC-based photographer Maciek Jasik.

Until only very recently, each fruit and vegetable held its own connection to culture and afterlife. Somewhere along the way we’ve been separated from these origins, and only know them as the flavors and textures they provide.

Several of the most common vegetables took thousands of years to cultivate, the watermelon was originally known for being bland and buried with pharaohs as a water source in the afterlife and Buddha considered the pomegranate one of the three most blessed fruits.

Jasik’s series aims to revive these mystical, invisible qualities to fruits and vegetables that have been lost amidst the clamor of nutritional statistics. He accomplishes these seductively eerie shots by poking small holes within his subjects to make the colorful and deeply-hued smoke bombs subtly waft or flood from the inside.

So be careful when you start carving that pumpkin… you might get engulfed in a poof from the past.

Adam J. Kurtz’s New Book Is Made for Creatives by a Creative

If you only have $15 of fun money left to spend this month, let it be on Adam J. Kurtz’s new book, Things Are What You Make of Them: Life Advice for Creatives. Kurtz is a Brooklyn-based designer, artist and author (his first book was 1 Page at a Time) and his book consists of a foreword by Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge and 13 handwritten chapters chock full of wisdom and advice for any creative from a creative himself.

A few of the titles are “8 Things Every Creative Should Know,” “How to Get Over Comparing Yourself to Other Creatives,” and “What to Do When You Fail.” It’s already been read and reviewed with high praises by Debbie Millman and Alanis Morissette, if that tells you anything. The book’s pages are also perforated so that you can tear them out and hang them on your wall whenever you need a friendly reminder of any lesson from the book.
