Over the holidays, I watched EVP starring Michael Keaton and Deborah Unger.\u00c2\u00a0 The movie was shot here in Vancouver and I immediately recognized one of the buildings.\u00c2\u00a0 The Waterfall Building, 1540 West 2nd Avenue, located just south of Granville Island\u00c2\u00a0is\u00c2\u00a0one of Vancouver’s modern architectural masterpieces.\u00c2\u00a0 Michael Keaton’s character in the film is an architect and the building was the setting for his home.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s unique design and distinct appearance made it a great choice.\u00c2\u00a0 The building got its name from\u00c2\u00a0the Arthur Erickson-designed waterfall of recirculated water that plunges down in the middle of the main street-level entrance. This embodied his stated belief that as well as fulfilling function, architecture should offer visitors and passers-by a rewarding experience.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
The building itself\u00c2\u00a0reminded me of another condo that we shot for Jim Noonan<\/a> a few months ago.\u00c2\u00a0 ROAR-one, 4387 West 10th Avenue, located in Point Grey is another modern masterpiece.\u00c2\u00a0 There were many similar design elements; the concrete contsruction, its use of glass, rooftop patios and high ceilings.\u00c2\u00a0 ROAR_one consists of ten residential units and two retail\/commercial units.\u00c2\u00a0 The project creates a new model for residential living in Vancouver. The design incorporates mezzanine spaces and uniquely; deep, inset courtyard balconies that provide a rare ability for indoor\/outdoor living in combination.\u00c2\u00a0 Please check out the video and pictures that we took of this incredibly unique and modern property.<\/p>\n ROAR_one, 4387 West 10th Avenue video<\/a> – photos<\/a><\/p>\n \u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over the holidays, I watched EVP starring Michael Keaton and Deborah Unger.\u00c2\u00a0 The movie was shot here in Vancouver and I immediately recognized one of the buildings.\u00c2\u00a0 The Waterfall Building, 1540 West 2nd Avenue, located just south of Granville Island\u00c2\u00a0is\u00c2\u00a0one of Vancouver’s modern architectural masterpieces.\u00c2\u00a0 Michael Keaton’s character in the film is an architect and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.vopenhouse.ca\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
