Timeless taste<br />
By Sylvia Shaw<br />
Vancouver’s brilliant Robert<br />
Ledingham is the fi rst Canadian<br />
designer to win the International<br />
Interior Design Association Leadership<br />
Award, and has collected scores of other<br />
honours during his 30 years at the top<br />
of the interior design fi eld. He was<br />
recently entrusted to create a visionary<br />
kitchen for a super-luxury condominium<br />
development at the University of British<br />
Columbia.<br />
Robert Ledingham can inspire<br />
your kitchen makeover<br />
The open plan kitchen is lit with halogen task lights and pots in<br />
the recessed ceiling, plus natural light from large windows. The<br />
countertops are Quarella quartz composite stone; the cabinets are<br />
Varenna custom-designed fl at panel in oak or cherry wood with<br />
white lacquer fi nish. The Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Fisher & Paykel<br />
DishDrawer dishwasher, is tucked into the cabinetry. The backsplash<br />
is a continuous sheet of tempered glass. Floors are solid hardwood.
