Drawing on Principal Marc Bricault’s background in woodworking, Whistler Hideaway by Bricault Design is a custom-designed home that highlights local artisans and natural materials, which was a key priority for the firm and the client from the beginning.

Collaborating with Vancouver printmaker Peter Braune of New Leaf Editions, the team created an intricate, etched copper screen adorned with a Japanese floral motif. The residence also heavily incorporates the use of edge grain Douglas Fir, known for its quiet grain pattern and warmth — which woodworker Ted Belch crafted into several pieces of bespoke furniture, featuring fluted and turned legs, form-bent mirror frames, and other intricate details that evoke sculptural elements.

The one-of-a-kind, meticulously made pieces almost create the feel of a personal art gallery inside the 1,268-sq.-ft. home. Despite its small footprint, Whistler Hideaway feels remarkably open, prioritizing natural and durable materials that reflect the hillside forest and surrounding mountain landscape.

Nestled in the hillsides of Naramata in the Okanagan Valley is Kinglet Perch, one of the most recent projects by sg_architecture. The principal architects, Will Green and Warren Sanders were both raised in the local region, and engaged their deep knowledge of British Columbia’s interior and its semi-arid climate in designing the residence that stayed true to their philosophy of rural pragmatism.

The home is set on a bridge-like structure, allowing the ancient lichen and rock face beneath to remain untouched, while also maintaining a sense of harmony with the surrounding landscape. In consideration of the changing climate conditions, weathering steel and non-combustible stucco were used on the exterior to make the home more resistant against wildfires, while also allowing the building to acquire a patina similar to the hills that surround it as the years progressed. This result is a home that embraces the natural beauty of the landscape while also being low-impact and climate-responsive.

Ships to Shore is this weekend May 2–3 at Richmond’s Garry Point Park! ⚓

One of the largest tall ships in the world, the Kaiwo Maru is visiting Richmond from Japan for the first time in almost a decade. To celebrate the occasion, the City of Richmond is proud to present the Ships to Shore festival, which will have music and cultural performances at three different stages across the grounds, as well as a curated selection of artisanal vendors at the Maker’s Corner market. Also of note is the Sails in the Sky field, which will host both kite professionals and local enthusiasts showcasing their skills and unique kites.

There will also be tons of kids-friendly activities! Children are welcome to try making Japanese koinobori (carp streamers) ahead of the annual Japanese Children’s Day holiday on May 5. The Kid’s Cove will also feature hands-on workshops for traditional fish printing (gyotaku), origami, kite making, and much more!

Did you know that Granville Island may potentially be underwater by 2100?

The area began as reclaimed land on top of a sandbar that was used as a fishing area for the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) and Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh), built up in 1916 to accommodate the growing need for warehouse and factory space at the time. Following the decline of the industry and departure of the businesses, redevelopment began in the 1970s, marking the start of its transformation into the Granville Island that we know today — a beloved cultural destination for locals and tourists from around the world.

It also faces problems though, as many of the original, industrial structures are aging and are in need of maintenance and repair. Rising sea levels caused by climate change further complicate matters.

It is with these issues in mind that Urbanarium gathered several top thinkers in one of its most recent City Debate events this past February, presenting arguments for both investing in new infrastructure, as well as retreating from the island. The full video was released recently, and continues the organization’s aim to facilitate informed discourse on urban development.

Check out the link in the comment section to watch the full debate that highlights the data and research presented by Granville Island Council chair Heather Deal, flood management engineer Tamsin Lyle (), UBC School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture lecturer Michael Biros, and Space2place founder Jeff Cutler.

The 16th edition of the Verses Festival of Words, presented by Vancouver Poetry House, kicks off today, April 27, and will run until May 2, 2026.

Headlining the festival is SPIN El Poeta, who is an award-winning poet, cultural strategist, and educator and is known for exploring themes of migration, healing, and Immigrant-Indigenous friendship in his work. Also appearing at the festival this year is Clifton Joseph, pioneer of the dub poet movement in Canada, as well as celebrated poets including Apollo the Child, Miel Enage, and Becoming Christopher.

Since 2015, Space Lab has been a fixture for many in the local community, known for their unique collection of audio equipment and vintage home decor, offering hidden gems, and a welcoming place to connect. Owner Clint Moroz has over 30 years of industry experience, having started as an avid collector himself, and in recent years has also helped equip some of the city’s top listening bars.

Despite a resurgence of interest in analog technology in recent years, Clint had noticed that many have felt excluded from the community due to high barriers of entry, and even facing misogyny and prejudice. To address this, he developed the idea for a series of workshops that would help demystify the industry and make it feel more accessible and inclusive.

Check out the link below in the comment section for an interview with Clint by RANGE Magazine to find out more about the inaugural Audio 101 workshops, and how he has created a space for all that is rooted in a shared love of music and community.

Two new exhibitions, ‘SIDE CORE: under city’ and ‘I digress’ will be unveiled tomorrow at the Richmond Art Gallery as a part of their spring programming.

‘SIDE CORE: under city’ depicts the shifting landscape of skate culture in Tokyo amidst gentrification due to the 2020 Olympics. In this multi-channel video installation, cameras follow skaters exploring new subterranean spaces like stormwater basins and disused train tunnels, which slowly allow them to form a connected undercity. This will also be the first time ever that Japanese art collective SIDE CORE will be presenting their work in North America.

‘I digress’ features work from Simranpreet Anand, Jo-Anne Balcaen, August Klintberg, Anne Koizumi, Lindsay McIntyre, and Gonzalo Reyes Rodriguez. Each of the works in this group exhibition engages with the artists’ lived experiences and collective histories. Spanning film, autobiographical works, and diasporic narratives, each reflect the legacies and stories that shape who we are.

Check the link in the comments section to read an interview with Shaun Dacey, curator of 'SIDE CORE: under city,' in which he explains how he first came across the collective’s work, and the similarities that connect the two cities of Richmond and Tokyo.

Coast Salish artist James Nexw’Kalus-Xwalacktun Harry’s () works are known for the ways in which he is able to skillfully blend traditional designs and knowledge with future-forward designs and aesthetics. His newest sculpture, ‘Eye of the Ancestor’ is no exception.

The name comes from Coast Salish symbolism, in which the eye signifies awareness, presence, and continuity beyond the individual. With the sculpture consisting of a large yellow cedar wooden sphere carved with Coast Salish designs, and a mirror-polished steel sphere inside, one is invited to adjust their view in order to gain new perspectives of the work from different angles. By doing so, we are also reevaluating our relationship not only with the sculpture, but also the environment around us, and the Indigenous land that we live on. Co-commissioned by The Polygon Gallery () and the Burrard Arts Foundation, ‘Eye of the Ancestor’ will be on view starting today April 10, until October 18, 2026.

Check the link in the comments section below to read the full press release for more information on the work.
