Traditional, realistic oral patterns have always been a beloved staple of fabric

simpler, more graphic, or rendered in subtle tone-on-tone colour palettes,
newer oral combinations will bring drama and individuality to rooms.

shows how its done.

Fabric designer and Marimekko founder Armi Ratia

didnt agree, though, and, inspired by the bright-
coloured poppies in her garden, she came up with
this eye-popping pattern. The boss loved it
luckilyand incorporated the pattern, called Unikko,
into the 1964 collection for the Helsinki-based textile,
apparel and home-accessories company. It was a
smash. Fifty years on, were still feeling the love for
Unikko. Never out of production, the pattern has
become iconic, not only of the Marimekko brand but
also of the convention-blasting flower-power sixties.
Unikko has been parlayed over the years into a
myriad of products, from clothing and tableware to
the livery of Finlands flagship carrier, Finnair. As
part of this years milestone 50th anniversary,
Marimekko is launching this spring and fall a
refreshed take on the poppy design with fashion,
home and textile collections, including wallpapers,
in a new range of up-to-date colours.

DESIGNPHILE IN GOOD TASTE
THE SENSUAL
SUMMER WHITE
If the fruit is the medium and the setting is the
message, chardonnay is the great interpreter.
BY JOHN BOSSY
There is a reason French winemakers rarely display the names

of grape varietals on their labels. It is, in part, tradition, but the
tradition itself is rooted in a philosophy of sorts. The belief is that the
character of a wine derives more from the specics of place or terroir
than from the fruit itself. In other words, the fruit is the medium,
while the settingincluding climate, soil and topographyis the
message. Just as an architect uses concrete, steel, glass and wood to
create structures that integrate with or, indeed, enhance the sur-
rounding landscape, the winemaker attempts, using harvested
grapes, to express the character and personality of the land, which
gives life to the vines. In a sense, its like giving new life back to that
which gave life.
In my experience, when it comes to white wine, the
varietal that interprets place to a higher degree than
any other is chardonnay. Its like a chameleon, but a
very democratic one, because it seems to grow every-
where vines are planted, taking on different guises

W hen a three-bedroom house requires seven years to

were errors, rings, separations or economic calamitiesthe
dark tetrad of domestic architecture. Except that there is also
this house, which in April was named the sole private residence to be
accorded one of 12 biannually awarded Governor Generals Medals in
Architecture. In its case, the long gestation had distinctly different causes:
architects renowned for an intricately detailed brand of innovation;
scientist clients intent on getting things precisely right; and a shared and
remarkable commitment to utilizing strictly local resources on a remote
island that is home to fewer than 2,500 people.
The architectural practice is that of John and Patricia Patkau, husband
and wife principals of Vancouver-based Patkau Architects. For more than
three decades, the Patkaus have specialized in small- and medium-sized
commissions such as schools, galleries, libraries and homes that give them
latitude to solve problems in creative ways while practising what John
Patkau acknowledges can probably be called capital-A architecture. Within
the West Coast architectural community, they are indisputably stars.
Nationally and internationally, they have won far more than their share of
awards (including a double-digit haul of Governor Generals medals like
this years), but somehow bubble away just below the level of widespread
public acclaim.
When clients Eric Peterson and Christina Munck approached them, says
John Patkau, their assumption was that the couple would be similar to most
of their other residential clientsacademics, maybe, with a strong interest
in contemporary design but a limited budget for exploring those interests.
Patkau was at least partly right. Peterson did once have a foot in academia. A

been devoted to environmental research and initiatives on the B.C. Coast,
where Peterson grew up, and where the couple found themselves spending
more and more of their time.
They had already purchased a seaside cottage on Quadra Island when
they learned that the property next door, a welding shop, was up for sale.
And after they had acquired a failed resort on ultra-remote Calvert Island

researchers, it was clear they had to stop commuting and make the area
their permanent home. But it was only after buying the welding shop to
prevent unwanted local development did the realization spark that the
place just might be their spot.
John Patkau recalls the couple who came to see them at the ofce as very
self-effacing. But there was something else that the Patkaus didnt know
about Eric Peterson then: he had grown up in an architects home. In fact,
his father had been forced to abandon the profession due to failing
eyesight. Seeking advice, Peterson and Munck asked Peterson Sr. how to
proceed with their short list of potential designers. His response: Walk
away from anyone who presented options and asked which you prefer,
recalls Munck. Alone among those approached, the Patkaus passed the
audition, and work on the house began.
Of all the welding shops in the world, none has occupied a site quite like
the one purchased by Peterson and Munck. Quadra is not one of B.C.s

Rather, Quadra forms the northern boundary of the Strait of Georgia, or Above: This deck, one of two on the property, cantilevers

Quadra Island, B.C.
It soon became clear to the Patkaus and David Shone, their colleague and
the projects lead designer, that the property was special even by Quadra
standards. On one side, mere metres from the logical building site, is a
huge slab of basalt covered in moss and ferns. On the other is an inlet and
tidal pool. In front is a beach strewn with driftwood that gets re-tossed by
every winter storm.
What to do with a spot like that? Many are the West Coast home designs
that tackle such a challenge with massive oor-to-vaulted-ceiling windows
on every side. That was not the Patkaus solution. Instead, their vision
called for a structure that twisted and turned, so that walls could face each
of the three primary views head on. Some of the windows on those walls
would indeed be oor to ceiling, but others would be oor-to-waist height.
These would go in the bedrooms, where the view to be framed was the one
from the bed. Both clients and designers had recently visited Japan and
were attuned to those kinds of possibilities, says John Patkau.
Additional light would be gathered through skylights and the device of
an inner courtyard, which would get a reecting pool using water owing
by in a small creek. There would be a green roof covered in the same moss,
grass and ferns growing on the adjacent rock.
Inside, slab counters in the kitchen and main room would be skewed at
irregular angles in homage to the logs outside the windows. Walls would be
pure concrete, even in places where they oated above the oor, while a ceiling
treatment would utilize wooden slats hiding subtle lighting. Floors would be
smooth oak except where they were, yes, glass: The home cantilevered over a
cliff and the view below was every bit as interesting as the one beyond. And all
of this would be nished in the most minimalist possible waya structure of
intense complexity looking as simple as could be.
There was just one problem: Who would build it?
The architects initially assumed that this was a job for an experienced,
carriage-trade Vancouver builder, and never mind the ve-hour, two-ferry
commute. But the 2010 Olympics loomed on the horizon then, and every
contractor for hundreds of kilometres around had all the work they could
handle. Peterson and Munck, on the other hand, had always hoped that the
work could be done locally and took it upon themselves to interview
potential candidates much as they had with the architects.
John Patkau views it as mostly luck that the couple landed with Quadra
Island builders J Toelle Construction, but Munck recalls the phone call she
received after interviewing the rm. Weve talked it over with our guys, said
owner John Toelle, and were all very excited about this.
And so began the almost-seven-year-long building marathon, overseen
architecturally by Shone, who visited on an almost monthly basis, while

consulting day by day, using smart phones, with what proved to be a crack
construction team. John Patkau, in retrospect, views the entire process as
charmed. The clients had never previously built a home, but they were
serial renovators with a solid understanding of the process. They had no
desire to spend money for the sake of it, he says, but also no limits. They
just wanted to do what was right.
So today the house is complete. The curving laneway is edged by a
beautiful stone wall, and the arrival is to that most endangered of slickly
modern features, a carport. The furniture inside is sparse and spare.
Munck, a sometime painter, has been considering what kind of art
might go on the concrete walls, but the idea is daunting and for now they
remain unadorned.
Beyond that log-strewn beach the view through the front window is strictly
of rocks, water and trees. The road by suggests that this part of Quadra is
fairly populated, but there is no hint of that here. A small protected island
blocks the sight of other residences in nearby Heriot Bay and vicinity, leaving
the snow-capped Coast Mountains looming in the distance as the primary
visual distraction. As one looks through that window, seven years doesnt
seem very long at all.

You can go a whole day on this modern houseboat without seeing another living
being, save for a conga line of ducks emerging from a tangle of reeds. The bay
extends out for a mile, and beyond it the Berlin skyline with its distinctive TV Tower.
Otherwise, the only interlopers are trees.
This view should belong to a much bigger house, the kind of waterfront villa that
would be out of reach for most people in the 21st century. But everything about this
houseboat dees its 650 square feet. For one thing, it sleeps four, with enough room
overhead to literally allow jumping out of bed. The kitchen has an island as long as a car.
And the whole family could sprawl around the wood-burning stove on a nippy evening.
In fact, its easy to forget youre on a boat altogetheruntil the odd wobble from the
wake of a neighbouring boat rocks you back to reality.
Rummelsburger Bucht, a bay off Berlins Spree River, has transformed itself gradually
from an industrial backwater into a residential water city. Young creative couples and
trail-blazing families have moved into contemporary houses amid the natural beauty
here, and the marina offers long-term berths to boat owners. So when brothers Chris
and Oliver Laugsch, who run the boutique-hotel website Welcome Beyond, purchased
what they describe as a oating loft after a two-year search, naturally they chose to moor
it at Rummelsburger.
It was built by a Dutchman from scratch, says Chris. He liked to build things, and

ESCAPE LIVING ON THE WATER
Below: At 650 square feet and with only one internal door, the
houseboat has the character of an urban loft. The open-concept
kitchen is simple and spare, with storage to keep all the utilities tucked
away and home-rigged lighting over the polished-concrete island.
Theres nothing that doesnt absolutely need to be there, says Chris.
Right: The boat is equipped with air conditioning and heating, but Chris
and Oliver installed a wood-burning stove for extra warmth and
character. The floor-to-ceiling windows have custom coverings
shutters on some and mechanical blinds on others.

Berlin, Germany
The rudimentary steel structure was enclosed in

a wood shell, and the ceiling beams were left
bare to emphasize the height. The brothers had
an upholsterer from Berlin cover the sofa and
chaises with a combination of cotton on the top
and water-resistant fabric underneath, so the
cushions can be dragged out to the terrace for
makeshift seating. Two glass discs, cut by a local
glass manufacturer and placed on the ground,
act as side tables for casual dining.

from a boat engineer, the builder started with a catamaran base, then built a shell on top
from wood and steel, and laid a concrete oor. Its a relatively light structuresimple
and clean. Theres nothing to distract from the view outside, notes Chris. Its classied
as a boat, it has an engine, but from the look of it, theres nothing nautical about it.
Indeed, he rarely moves it from its mooring. Its not really built for day tours.
Most of the furnishings were custom-crafted from the get-go, in light-coloured wood,
polished concrete and a touch of steel. Sharing the builders appreciation for
minimalism, Chris and Oliver kept things that way. Except for a few aspects of colour,
everything is white and grey, says Chris. Theres a feeling of space, very light. All they
brought to the mix were a few side tables, a wall-mounted TV, the wood-burning stove
and themselves.
The brothers have added the houseboat to their hotel website, so its often occupied by
paying guests. But when its not, Chris, who moonlights in nance, sets up ofce from
the Acapulco chair on the deck, taking advantage of the Wi-Fi, which is unusually
superior for this part of Berlin. Because of the way the terrace points toward the bay, the
whole marina is behind you, so its completely private, says Chris. In fact, there are no
windows at all on the marina side. The marina is simply gone.
When Oliver joins his brother, their schedule consists of little except sipping red wine
on the water and cooking simple dinners in the open kitchen. The only caveat is the one
familiar to most homeowners: theres always something to be done. When we spend
time together, we usually end up doing little xes on the boat, says Chris. Everyone
relaxes easier if we each come separately.
Those little fixes include stocking up on supplies, tightening screws and,
unsurprisingly, washing the oor-to-ceiling windows. But for Chris, that represents little
pain in exchange for a lot of gain.
Being here is like being inside a camera, looking out, and the window is the lens, he
says. Thats the most striking feature of the whole boat and the whole setting.
Above: The only visual connection to the marina is the front door,
which opens onto a public dock.
Right: The bathroom gets fresh water from the marina system, so
its highly functional, though, says Chris, the toilet pump has its
own character. Oliver, who works as a graphic designer, has an eye
for fun details. He created the pink vertical stripe between the sinks.

and San Jos del Cabo, Mexico, the setting for this holiday home by the beach.
The villa, built for a lifelong friend based in Seattle, is unmistakably Olson; its 8,000
square feet radiate a golden hue. Theres a desert-like climate on the ocean, says the
architect, so the materials of the house were intended to have this desert feeling. Yet
this Baja home is resolutely focused on the Sea of Cortez, which in high tide can come
right up to the threshold of the innity pool.
To achieve this balance of earth and sea, Olson borrowed the best of the region but also
learned from its mistakes.
When I rst went down there, my client took me around to some more traditional
houses and said, Every time you walk in, you feel like the ceiling is coming down. And
it was trueour view of the ocean was blocked. We couldnt see the sky. Shes a tall
person and that really bothered her.
Olson was able to remedy that with a characteristically lofty space. Now, from the front
gate to the yawning foyer right through to the back terrace, the horizon is a constant
presence.
The building is a pure expression of Olson-ication, inected with the argot of the
Mexican coast: dark wood, stone and stucco in sandy tones to blend into the dry
mountain backdrop. For the ceramic-tile roof, mandated by the regions architectural
heritage body, Olson went with a more contemporary tan rather than the usual red. And
louvres, seen in traditional homes along the length of the coast, are everywhere. It really
works because you can close all the doors for security and open the louvres, says Olson.
People have gured it out over centuries. Modern culture loves to just ignore all that,
but why would you?
Those were precisely the sentiments of the client. She wanted to be a good neighbour
and she also wanted a modern house, says Olson. This does all the things traditional
houses dojust in a modern vocabulary.
Olsons meditations on the home slip naturally into the regional parlance, which is to
be expected for someone who has always endeavoured to place his work within the local
context. When he describes the vaulted living room, he calls it the zcalothe Mexican
term for a public square. If you think of the house as a little villagewith the owner,

The broad horizontal lines and natural paletteas well as the homey, tactile
furnishings by Seattle designer Terry Hunzikerbring the volumes down to earth. Yet
theres no denying the architect has scaled up here in a way few other architects have on
this coast. The villa extends almost to the edges of the 75-foot lot.
But when you consider the four children, the many more grandchildren and the larger
social circle that congregate here on a continual loop, the girth makes sense. The big
spaces take on more meaning when you have a big family that occupies the house all the
time, says Olson.
He should know. He has visited plenty of times while working on a subsequent
project, the JW Marriott in Los Cabos, Olson Kundigs rst hotel in Mexico. However, he

FASHION DESIGNER JENNI KAYNE USED BOLD
STROKES AND ELEMENTAL MATERIALS TO FIT OUT
A MODERN FAMILY HOME THAT DELIVERS A MASTER
CLASS IN ELEGANT SUMMER STYLE.
BY SHAWNA COHEN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY LISA ROMEREIN/OTTO
Jenni Kaynes attention to detail as a

fashion designer is remarkable. Her fall
2014 collection includes standout pieces such
as a menswear-inspired jumpsuit that is taste-
fully seductive, with its plunging-V neckline
and strategically placed buttons. The DOrsay
ats, for which shes best known, strike that
perfect balance between sexy and cool. Its no
surprise then that Kaynes home in Los Ange-
les reects that skill in playing with juxtaposi-
tionrustic with rened, rough with smooth.
The sprawling space gives a rst impression of
casual summer living, but a closer look reveals
meticulously considered design details. In
fashion, Kayne has achieved the holy grail of
effortless chic, and the same can be said for
her home design aesthetic. Each room in her
house is elegant, yet comfortable, thanks to her
keen eye, and shes not afraid to mix natural
materials like salvaged pine and rough oak
with white upholstery and steel-framed doors
to create polished contemporary spaces that are
exceptionally welcoming and livable.
Left: Two massive doorways extend the living space,

visually and literally, into the garden. Rough-oak
beams framing those doors and the windows, along
with the salvaged-pine ceiling, are a pleasing stark
contrast to the elegant lines of the sofas and quartet of
marble-topped coffee tables. Woven chairs, atypical
seating choices for a formal living room, synchronize
nicely with the expansive view to the patio.

softening effect that alleviates the hard edges. The
orderly layout of the garden, with its tidy rows of
raised planter boxes and clearly delineated paths,
enhances the meditative qualities of the space.

Opposite: The kitchen is all white, and yet theres nothing cold or austere
about it; in fact, the ambience encourages intimate dinner parties wherein
guests can help with food preparation over cocktails. Kayne created a
relaxed space by forgoing overhead cabinetry and leaving the ceiling line
open, opting instead for simple floating shelves. The floor-to-ceiling
cabinets have glass doorsa design element that reinforces the
openness. A pine ceiling warms up the space, and vintage-look light
fixtures and the stainless steel range hood offer an industrial vibe. The
symmetry achieved by the precise positioning of the pendant lights and
the lineup of stylish counter stools adds a comforting sense of order.
