We just managed to spot an elegant waterfront house that got our eyes, in Altamont, West Vancouver. An example for what “lavish” mean to those who are loaded, the building emphasizes and enhance the laid-back classiness of the Vancouver sea-side paradise. With 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, the house was recently renovated with sumptuous features including a covered veranda for a bbq party, an outstanding billiard room, an extraordinary custom designed centre bar with a refrigerated wine wall and amazing furnishings. However we feel that the most amazing feature is its location that allows you to gaze over Vancouver’s never-ending skyline. On sale for almost $11 million at Soprovich!

I’ve bee in the “interior designing” business for over 40 years, and in my experience, and personal opinion, the “designer” on this project really “screwed up” The design of the home does not warrant the ungainly tradional furnishings he/she prescribed. They obviously do not have enough experience to use warm, but contemporary furnishings. I feel sorry for the owners.
James, I was thinking the very same thing.
I don’t have any design experience, but I thought the whole thing looked dated and tacky. Vancouver really has so much more to offer than THAT!
Well James T as protagonist and others… you’ve obviously wasted the better parts of the 40 years being presumptuous, pretentious (the “T” what does that represent – Tired?), judgemental, patronising and overwhelmingly ignorant of the owners’ lives, cultural diversity and choices or motivations.
Tacky? Wha…!
Humanity has really so MUCH MORE to give that THAT!
Ugly as hell!
So much fabric, so much kitsch
the dining table ruins your appetite.
I’d stick by the pool and never go in…
