Cadboro Bay Condos & Townhouses

This is a development currently awaiting approval by the District of Saanich on Vancouver Island.  It is to be built in the neighbourhood of Cadboro Bay.  It’s a good example of the kind of West Coast contemporary architecture I think we’ll be seeing more of for low-rise condos.

Wedgewood House

This is a new post and beam style house in the Ten Mile Point/Wedgewood Estates neighbourhood of Victoria, BC. I’ll be very surprised if this house doesn’t win some awards over the next year. This is a great example of modern Pacific Northwest architecture.
