Communication is key to building this Kerrisdale home.
A lot of discussion went into the making of this home: discussion with the city, discussion with the
homeowners, discussion with the designers. The home is in an area of traditional-style buildings, and along with its neighbour, it replaced two Tudor-style houses that had a heritage character. The community wasn’t happy about losing the two Tudors to a possibly excessively contemporary building. And the city wasn’t happy about that or anything else that might clash with the traditional aesthetics of the neighbourhood.

The Dorothies spared from destruction
Pair of heritage homes will be on the road to a new location and a new life.

Like many of Vancouver’s original homes, the pair of heritage houses located on 2827 and 2837 W. 43rd Avenue were slated for demolition.
