Comprised of 85 contemporary green residences in Vancouver’s West End, the Alexandra’s provides exceptional views and a strong connection to English Bay and Stanley Park. The project’s interior spaces were influenced by; the clients’ desire to deliver a modern, elegant and timeless building; the importance of contributing to an already diverse and dynamic neighbourhood, and the revitalisation of 1930’s heritage façade.
It was imperative for the colour palette of the lobby, amenity spaces, and suites to have a unique sensitivity to the environment and site surroundings. The direction for the vibrant use of colour in the common areas is set by the lobby’s art installation (a partial recreation of a lost oil painting, entitled ‘Nostalgia’). The suites’ two colour schemes aim to bring nature’s palette indoors with hues of the West Coast sand, sea, wood and stone. The neutral tones help to blur the line between interior and exterior space and allow the nearby ocean, mountain and city views to command attention.
