We all know of the challenges of only eating foods that are grown within 100 miles of Vancouver. But what about how diffi cult (or easy) it would be to build a house using materials and technology sourced within 100 miles?
In February, the Architecture Foundation of British Columbia (AFBC) launched its 100 Mile House Ideas Competition. The aim was to challenge the way we think about our buildings and how we choose to live in them, asking:• Can we build our cities, our homes, with materials close at hand? • Have we become so dependent on materials with high embodied energies and transportation costs that we cannot imagine a different way of sourcing and constructing the most fundamental building block of our cities – the single family home?
There were entries from 17 countries for their submissions. The jury had a diffi cult time selecting the fi ve winners, hailing from Canada, the US, the UK, and Spain. The winners, in order, along with their cash prizes are:• 1st Prize: Tony Osborn, Vancouver ($5,000)For Myco House, which proposes new materials such as masonry block made from mushroom mycelium, lime-hemp plaster, lime-pozzolan concrete, and using pine beetle wood. The judges said “It uses both active and passive environmental technologies to achieve net zero energy use. Its external rain-screen skin, protecting a Passivhaus envelope, has been designed to be interchangeable to suit contexts, legislation, and material availability. All major materials and components of this net zero house can besourced locally from the 100 mile radius of Vancouver’s city centre.”• 2nd Prize: Neil Burford, Alex Pearson, Joseph Thurrott Architects, Dundee, Scotland ($2,500)For Zero E House, using passive design and environmental technology to create a net zero carbon and energy footprint.• 3rd Prize: Won Jin Park from New York ($1,000)For New Model, using adaptability, urban agriculture and passive design to create an affordable home.• Innovation Prize: Renee Ferguson & Michelle Krochmal Oyster Bay, NY ($1,000)For Bee House• Student Prize: Laura Diaz & Dario Adaíl Ferrer, Madrid, Spain ( $500)
All 57 entries will be available for viewing at:100mh.architecturefoundationbc.ca
A selection of the submissions, including the fi ve fi nalists, will also be on display at the upcoming IDSWest show at the Vancouver Convention Centre, as well as at a special event at a soon-TBA location (to be announced on the website).
Vancouver firm wins the 100-mile house challenge

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) invites the public to tour eight professionally renovated homes in Metro Vancouver, including four in the City of Vancouver, on Sunday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The 19th annual Parade of Renovated Homes, produced by the GVHBA Renovation Council and sponsored by FortisBC, showcases leading-edge design, advanced construction techniques and products, and energy-saving features.Renovations on display include the revitalization of a 1950s bungalow, restoration of a 1920s Vancouver heritage home, eco-chic kitchen, bathroom makeover, conversion of a Westside basement suite, an extensive interior and exterior renovation, and a contemporary whole-house transformation.
GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson said Metro Vancouver homeowners will spend $3.8 billion sprucing up their homes this year, and this popular one-day event offers exceptional sample renovations.
“Professional RenoMark renovators, many of them award winners, will be on site to offer expert advice and discuss their craftsmanship. Project values range from $135,000 to more than $800,000, offering homeowners an abundance of ideas they can incorporate into their own renovations,” said Simpson.
Admission is by passport, available at each home for $10 per person. Children 17 and under are free. Passports can be purchased at any home, and then used for entry to the remaining homes. Part proceeds from passport sales will help fund the purchase of tools, building materials and safety gear for a carpentry training program offered by Guildford Park and Frank Hurt secondary schools in Surrey.
The event is limited to six hours, so visit www.gvhba.org to review the full list of participating
homes, including project descriptions and before-and-after photos, then plan your route to ensure you have suffi cient time to visit specifi c homes that capture your interest.
VANCOUVER2148 GRAVELY STREETThis 1908 family home makes a stunning entrance into the 21st century with an eco-chic dream kitchen and bathroom renovation. Naturally crafted white-shaker custom kitchen cabinets, pantry and island are framed with complementary mouldings. Corner-drawer cabinets and recycling centre complete the details. Bath cabinets extend the length of the room providing ample storage space. Cabinetry is made from eco-friendly maple plywood and solid alder with low-VOC paint and durable lacquer fi nish for easy cleaning. There are also Douglas fi r fl oors and a Tuscan dining table built from wood reclaimed from a Penticton high school. Eco Country Tables Inc., (604) 809-4125, www.ecocountrytables.com
4785 WEST 2 AVENUEDesigned by a prestigious Vancouver-based architectural fi rm, the house was originally built in 1932. Having never undergone any upgrades, the home’s plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems had to be upgraded, the roof replaced and the extensive water damage
fi xed. The owners’ vision and appreciation of the home’s heritage was incorporated into this whole-home renovation, as much of the original house as possible was rescued. As a result, the renovation created an updated open living space
for a modern family, while respecting this beautiful home’s heritage.G. Wilson Construction Co. Ltd., (604) 873-8013, www.gwilsonconstruction.com

2982 WEST 27 AVENUEThese clients wanted to convert their typical Westside basement (damp with a low ceiling) into a well-appointed rental suite for investment purposes. The foundation was lowered by two feet then the space was completely modernized with up-to-date engineering and insulation. The totally transformed suite is now beautifully appointed with granite countertops, hardwood fl oors, stainless-steel appliances and tile fi nishes. To add extra comfort to the basement suite, in-fl oor and ceiling radiant heating were added. Nearing completion is a backyard laneway home that is open for viewing. Kemp Construction Management Ltd., (604) 948-1124, www.kempconstruction.ca
4930 WALDEN STREETThis home was completely transformed to allow for an open-concept main fl oor. The home was updated in a funky contemporary style, including a larger kitchen that offers seating for six at the island. The dining room and living room were opened up to the kitchen, which provides a great ambiance for entertaining. A fl oating glass partition offers privacy to the powder room. The upper fl oor consists of a reconfi gured master ensuite complete with a large walk-in shower, fl oating vanity with an eight-inch-deep countertop and a makeup counter. The kids’ bathroom was
redone with vivid accents to create a more playful feel. My House Design / Build Team Ltd., (604) 694-6873, www.myhousedesignbuild.com
BURNABY4778 HARKEN DRIVEThe original poorly laid out kitchen had the sink window staring at the neighbour’s roof, and a sunken TV room was under-utilized. The RJR design team creatively reconfi gured the entire area so it is now both well designed and functional. The sunken fl oor was raised and the kitchen was relocated to capture the private backyard view. Walls enclosing a formal dining room were removed, opening up the space. Beautiful shaker-style cabinetry and spectacular granite incorporate two extremely different types and styles, yet complement each other in a unique way. New skylights bring in warm natural light. RJR Construction Management Ltd., (604) 254-1760, www.rjrrenovator.com
4382 SOUTHWOOD STREETThis kitchen-dining room renovation is the second phase of a large-scale transformation of the contractor’s own home. Chic and contemporary styling elevates this typical 1959 bungalow, while the period’s design characteristics
were retained and restored. Picturesque windows, large doors and a spacious open plan capture the spectacular south-slope view. This phased renovation also features a huge deck, tasteful landscaping and a grade-level patio with a serene water feature, perfect for outdoor entertaining.

NORTH VANCOUVER4366 CANTERBURY CRESCENTThis 1954 rancher needed to be modernized to accommodate the client’s lifestyle and design sensibilities. The homeowners’ love of mid-century modern architecture and style was the compass. The interior was opened up to create contemporary social spaces for family and friends. Initially, the plan was to only renovate the interior, but the homeowners decided to landscape the property as well, including an outdoor living room with gas fi repit. Front retaining walls replaced aging stone walls. A kidney-shaped pool was fi lled in to create three separate outdoor living spaces. The kitchen/BBQ area is sheltered by a cedar pergola with a smoked glass roof. CCI Renovations, (604) 980-8384, www.ccirenos.com
