Welcome to the 20t h Issue of Folio.YVR Luxury

Lifest yle Magazine!

In this issue, we revisit the Vancouver Art

Gallery for the Parviz Tanavoli exhibition

' Poets, Locks, Cages' and discover

Fashion Fictions artist Julia Koerner's

3D-printed handbags at the VAG Gift Shop.

At the Sunzen Art Gallery," Treasures of the

Heaven" launched showcasing the intricate

porcelain works of Zou Jun.

We introduce N afsika Antypas, an

entrepreneur, actress, producer and activist

who is following in her father's food industry

footsteps with the plant-based line

N afsika' s Garden.

We went behind-the-scenes at the

Vogue Theatre for the fourth story in the

Show case Pianos Presents series to enjoy

quirky frontman Jeff Goldblum' s performance

with the M ildred Snitzer Orchestra on a

Fazioli F278.

Arthur Erickson' s Eppich House II is

everywhere right now, so we dove into the

history of this architectural wonder and share

the stories of not only Erickson but of

Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, the landscape

architect who heavily influenced the design

and Greg Bellerby, who published the

definitive book about Eppich House II.

In 20 24, CURV Passive House will break ground

and put Vancouver on the map for being home

to the world's tallest Passive House. We met

with BakerWest' s Sarah Yada Seto and

Fifth Ave' s Jamie Squires at the CURV

Presentation Centre for an eye-opening

journey into the future of development.

Richmond's newest luxury hotel, AM TD

Versante, hosted us at CASK Whisky Vault; the

experience was truly divine. From the

1920 s-inspired interiors to the insane whisky

selection, the team has designed and

delivered an evening worth pursuing.

Circling back to Richmond, this summer's

Luxury & Supercar event showcased the

best-of-the-best in vintage wheels, hypercars,

and the ARC Vector electric motorcycle. This

magnificent beast is a gorgeously sleek and

exciting vehicle that caught Canadian

superstar Ryan Reynolds's attention.

The Azur Legacy Collection Hotel was the most

anticipated summer hospitality launch and, with

its luxury level everything, is our new favourite

staycation location.

I hope you enjoy this issue of Folio.YVR Luxury

Lifestyle M agazine and look forward to sharing

all of September's exciting events and

experiences with you in our next issue!

The presence of women in leadership

positions and entrepreneurship has

brought diverse perspectives,

innovative ideas, and valuable

contributions to the business world and

the world in general.

Seeing women excel in various

industries and demonstrate their

capabilities as strong, driven, and

successful professionals inspires whole

generations to be better and do

better for the world.

For many, balancing work and family

responsibilities can be particularly

demanding. Managing a career while

nurturing a family can be

overwhelming and often requires

exceptional organizational skills,

support systems, and flexibility.

Entrepreneur N afsika Antypas is a

writer, author, executive producer,

actress, and mother of two.

"The joy of witnessing my children

grow, learn, and thrive is

immeasurable. Being a mother can

bring a sense of fulfillment, purpose,

and unconditional love. However, it

can also be physically and emotionally

demanding, requiring constant

multitasking, sacrifice, and selflessness.

"Balancing your professional

aspirations with the needs of your

children can present challenges,

including time management, guilt, and

the need for reliable childcare and

support networks," explains Nafsika.



013


EN TREPREN EURIAL BUILDIN G BLOCKS

Nafsika obtained her Bachelor of Arts from

Concordia University, majoring in English

Literature. She has also studied and earned

numerous certificates in TV productions, journalism,

languages (Italian and Spanish), and marketing.

Nafsika was raised in a Greek household in

M ontreal, Canada, and handled many operations

of her father's food business, Pilaros Inc., where she

learned from her father's entrepreneurial mindset,

which has proven very beneficial launching her

company and brand, N afsika' s Garden.

"As an entrepreneur who grew up in a family of

business-minded individuals, I share my values with

those who understand the potential of the

plant-based market. The shift towards plant-based

living is not just a trend but a growing movement

driven by ethical, environmental, and

health-conscious consumers. By aligning my

business with these values, I aim to cater to the

needs and desires of this expanding market while

making a difference in people's lives."

GROWIN G A GARDEN

Launched in 20 19, Nafsika's Garden is a pioneering

plant- based food brand that has emerged as a

leader in the industry, providing a diverse range of

delectable and nourishing plant-based products.

Committed to promoting a healthier and more

sustainable lifestyle, Nafsika's Garden aims to

redefine how society thinks about food, making

plant-based eating accessible and enjoyable for

everyone sitting at the table.


015


CULTIVATIN G HEALTH

"It is important, not only to me but to the

world, that people recognize the value in

living plant-based because it promotes

compassion and sustainability. Adopting a

plant- based lifestyle can reduce animal

suffering, preserve natural resources, and

improve our overall health. It is a powerful

way to positively impact our planet and

create a more harmonious relationship with

other living beings."

Driven by a vision to offer innovative

plant-based alternatives, Nafsika's Garden

blends culinary expertise with a genuine

commitment to sustainability.

Drawing inspiration from the renowned

M editerranean Diet , with its exceptional

health benefits and robust flavours, offerings

are plant-based products that encapsulate

the essence of this vibrant cuisine.

"Nafsika's Garden has rapidly gained

popularity and earned its place on the

shelves of mainstream markets nationwide.

Our vegan cheese offerings have delighted

countless individuals who, like me, longed for

a dairy-free alternative that could truly

replicate and enhance the cheese

experience.

"Our vegan cheeses are free from dairy,

gluten, soy, and nuts, ensuring that families

with various dietary needs can enjoy them.

You can find our products at fine grocery

stores, ready to elevate your culinary

adventures."

Nafsika's Garden rapidly expanded its

reach to the United States, followed by

several European countries and the

United Arab Emirates. The brand's

expansion highlights the global demand for

high-quality plant-based offerings and

Nafsika's dedication to catering to diverse

consumers worldwide.

"The future for Nafsika's Garden is bright as

consumers realize the numerous benefits of

plant-based alternatives. With increasing

awareness about the environmental impact

of animal agriculture and the ethical

concerns associated with animal

exploitation, more individuals are seeking

dairy-free options that align with their

values.

"Nafsika's Garden, as a provider of

high-quality and delicious plant-based

alternatives, is well-positioned to meet this

demand. As the market continues to grow,

we are confident that our commitment to

innovation and sustainability will drive our

success and contribute to the positive

transformation of the food industry."


017

ON SCREEN S EVERYWHERE

Nafsika's passion for plant-based

food led her to conceptualize,

create and produce the world's first

vegan lifestyle television series,

'Plant-Based by Nafsika.'

It is a conscious lifestyle series that

spotlights experts covering different

faces of cruelty-free lifestyles -

food, nutrition, wellness, beauty,

fashion, relationships, and science.

It features renowned guests

(Katie Cleary, John Lew is,

Jane Velez- M itchell) and

nutritional gurus sharing,

incorporating and exploring the

exciting aspects of a healthy,

sustainable lifestyle.

With the first episode airing in

July 20 16, it was the first vegan

lifestyle series ever to hit

mainstream us television (A&E).

More than 70 million families

actively watched the TV show.

"I noticed there were no vegan

lifestyle shows out there and

decided that I would be the first to

do it. I wanted to change the world

through food and figured I could

get more people to switch from a

meat-eating diet to a

plant-based/ vegan lifestyle

through television."

VALUE OF SUPPORT SYSTEM S

"It's important to find a support

system that understands and

respects your choices, whether it's

family, friends, or professional

networks. Building a strong support

network and practicing self-care is

essential for maintaining a healthy

work-life balance and thriving in

both personal and professional

realms.

"Overall, being a woman in business

and a mother can present

challenges. Still, it also brings

immense joy, personal growth, and

the opportunity to positively impact

your family and the business world.

Embracing your unique experiences,

strengths, and perspectives can

empower you to navigate these

challenges and create a fulfilling

and successful life."

With such passion for life and

wellness, there is no doubt that

Nafsika Anytpas will continue to

create and launch new ventures

that celebrate and guide people to

a new way of living.

PA RVIZ TA NA VOLI | Vancouver A rt Gallery


P T

A

landmark exhibition at the

Vancouver Art Gallery marks the first

major presentation of works by

Iranian- born, Vancouver- based artist

Parviz Tanavoli in Canada. Renowned

for his unique ability to merge sculpture

and poetry, Tanavoli's exhibition will

captivate audiences and ignite a new

appreciation for his extensive

contributions to modern sculpture.

With more than 10 0 w orks spanning

six decades of Tanavoli's career,

Poets, Locks, Cages delves into the

artist's exploration of the poet, the lock

and the cage as recurring themes.

The exhibition displays the full breadth of

Tanavoli's artistic practice, focusing on

sculpture while surveying painting,

printmaking and mixed media. As one of

the foremost contemporary Iranian artists

and a highly influential Saqqakhaneh

school member, Tanavoli draws

inspiration from Iran's rich history and

cultural traditions.


023

CAPTURIN G DUALITY

Tanavoli's sculptural works symbolically

exemplify the interplay between Iran' s

pre- Islamic and Islamic cultural identities.

His ability to capture the duality of these

identities sets him apart as one of the

foremost contemporary Iranian artists who

have achieved such a remarkable feat.

Poets, Locks, Cages sheds light on this

crucial integration of sacred and secular

histories in Tanavoli's art, offering a rare

opportunity for N orth American audiences

to engage with the concept of modernism

in Iran.

"The poet is the artist's self-portrait," said

Pantea Haghighi, independent curator.

"The poet, Farhad the M ountain Carver

and the artist become interchangeable and

reincarnate as Tanavoli maneuvers through

Iran's cultural shifts over the six decades

represented in this exhibition. Tanavoli

becomes the symbol of persistence and

resistance similar to the Mountain Carver."

A highlight of the exhibition is the inclusion

of Tanavoli's rarely seen and intimate

"Wonders of the Universe" series. This

remarkable body of work consists of

lyrical paintings inspired by Vancouver' s

scenery on the unbound pages of antique

books, first discovered by the artist in a

Tehran bazaar.



025


Visitors have the privilege of experiencing

the largest selection of "Wonders of the

Universe" ever shown, marking its

first-ever presentation in Canada.

The exhibition also showcases several

antique sculptures from the artist's

collection.

"This is a highly significant exhibition,

not only for Vancouver and the

Vancouver Art Gallery, but for the world.

We are contextualizing a lifelong career

of art making and thinking," said

Anthony Kiendl, CEO and Director of

the Vancouver Art Gallery.

"This is the first time that people in

[Parviz's] adopted city of Vancouver will

get to see a comprehensive exhibition of

his work brought together in one place at

one time. We look forward to sharing it

with everyone."


027

STORY OF AN ARTIST

Parviz Tanavoli was born in Tehran

in 1937. Upon graduating from the

Brera Academy of M ilan in 1959, he

taught sculpting at the Tehran College of

Decorative Arts. 1961-1963, he taught at

the M inneapolis College of Art and

Design. He then returned to Iran and

assumed the head of the sculpting

department at the University of Tehran, a

position he held for 18 years until 1979

when he retired from his teaching duties.

Since 1989, he has lived and worked in

Tehran and Vancouver, Canada.

His work has been displayed at the

British Museum London and Tate Modern

and in numerous other prestigious venues

in Seoul, Vienna, N ew York, and Iran.

JEFF GOLDBLUM | Show case Pianos Presents


J G

Oscar and Primetime Emmy-nominated

star Jeff Goldblum performed his first

show in Canada with his band, the

M ildred Snitzer Orchestra, at the

Vogue Theatre in August.

Named after an elderly friend of

Goldblum's mother, the group has

released three albums: ' The Capitol

Studios Sessions,' ' I Shouldn' t Be Telling

You This,' and ' Plays Well w ith Others.'

The latter was released in March 20 23,

with Goldblum appearing on Late N ight

with Seth M yers and Jimmy Kimmel Live

to promote it.

Previous to performing, Goldblum has

built an extensive film resume that

includes memorable Independence Day,

The Fly, Thor: Ragnarok, and the

Wes Anderson film, Asteroid City.


033

M anual Bernaschek, founder and owner of

Show case Pianos, facilitated the delivery

of a Fazioli to Vogue Theatre for the

evening's performance.

Manuel shares, "When I received the

request to provide a piano for the evening

at the Vogue, I immediately knew that the

Fazioli F278 Concert Grand would be

perfect. It has exceptional power,

magnificent balance between the bass

and treble, extensive dynamic range and

harmonic richness. A classic instrument for

large concert halls and recording studios,

suitable both for the solo repertoire and

for performances with large orchestras.

This Fazioli has an incredible dynamic

range, which is inspiring for players."

While the legendary Fazioli Pianoforti

instruments are not usually associated with

jazz, Manuel feels that "people may have a

misconception that Fazioli pianos are only

suited for classical music! This could not be

further from the truth because it has a

crystal clear sound and perfectly even

action that all players love. Notable

musicians, like Herbie Hancock,

Brad M ehldau, and Aleph, have

performed on Fazioli's."

The evening at the Vogue Theatre was

memorable for attendees as Goldblum

chatted with the audience before the

performance.

T a k i n g M a n y A l o n g f o r t h e R i d e

Ubiquitous Vancouver-based hornmeister

Gabriel M ark Hasselbach was backstage

for the performance and declared, "Jeff

Goldblum honoured the world-class Fazioli

with his unique quirky stylings and deft

touch. This was most apparent when the

band broke down to a whisper, and he was

featured on delicate phrases that

underscored the vocalist and then set up

his about to burst through solo."

Juno Award winner Hasselbach is also

familiar with the Fazioli F278 and

acknowledges that "having performed on

stages throughout the world with top-flight

pianists like Jeff Lorber, Jeremy M onteiro,

and Tom Schuman of Spiro Gyra, and also

being a sound and recording engineer

myself, I understand why Fazioli the

top-shelf of the top-shelf when it comes to

pianos. The sound speaks more

energetically and more captivatingly than

other pianos, no matter the brand or

reputation."

For those who attended the Vancouver

performance of the Mildred Snitzer

Orchestra, the evening proved to be one

well-spent!

the custom pink reception pod.

CASK has become a destination for spirit

A M EAL TO REM EM BER

The evening began with the delivery of a

' Tour of Japan' whisky flight that perfectly paired

at different points to the evening's 6-course

plant-based meal.

Iw ai M ars - M ars Shinshu is Japan's highest

whisky distillery, nestled between the Southern

and Central Alps. Their Kiichiro Iwai release takes

inspiration from American whiskies, featuring corn,

malt, and a hint of rye aged in ex-bourbon

barrels. The result is a lean and slightly sweet

whisky with notes of pear, quince, red fruits, and

vanilla. (Paired with Heirloom Tomato on Silken

Tofu with Lime Dressing and vegetarian Fish

Sauce).

Shinobu 15- Year Pure M alt - Shinobu is a

distillery located in Niigata, Japan, known for its

pristine water, rice, and sake. Their Shinobu

15-Year whisky is aged in ex-sherry and

ex-bourbon casks before a finishing touch with

Japanese Mizunara Oak, resulting in a complex

flavour profile with hints of vanilla, fresh oak,

spices, citruses, and coffee. (Sipped with Blistered

Shishito Peppers and Oyster Mushroom Skewers).

N ikka Yoichi - Yoichi Single M alt is a bold and

smoky range of single malt whiskies from Nikka's

first distillery, built in 1934. The founder chose

Yoichi in Hokkaido for its resemblance to

Scotland's environment. The malts are made using

traditional coal-fired distillation and influenced

by the sea breeze from Ishikai Bay, resulting in a

briny note. (Enjoyed with both the Agadashi Tofu

and the Dessert Course of Frozen Cucumber and

Wasabi Sorbet).

A RC VECTOR | Lux ury & Supercar | Olympic Oval

A V

For over 13 years, Vancouver's

Luxury & Supercar event has

celebrated automotive

excellence by presenting the

finest vehicles from the past,

present, and future.

At the 20 23 edition, held at the

Richmond Olympic Oval

Riverside Place, a new UK

marque joined the main-stays -

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti,

M cLaren, Rolls- Royce, Audi,

Land Rover, and others.

ARC is renowned for its

state-of-the-art technology

and stunning motorcycle design.

It recently made its first

US delivery - one of only two

Founder' s Signature Edition

models to be built - to

beloved Canadian personality

Ryan Reynolds, marking a

significant milestone in its journey

to conquer new frontiers.

ARC's presence in Vancouver was

more than just a coincidence; it

was a strategic choice aligned

with its commitment to

excellence.

The ARC team believed there

was no better place for ARC

Vector to make its mark than

amid a gathering of vehicles that

shared the same calibre of

distinction and innovation.

In a setting where luxury and

performance are paramount,

ARC Vector stood with the finest

automobiles ever designed.

Showcasing at Luxury & Supercar

was an opportunity to reveal

ARC's remarkable fusion of

cutting- edge technology,

breathtaking design, and

unparalleled performance to an

audience that truly understood

and appreciated the artistry and

engineering behind each vehicle.



055


For a single day, the team was able to forge

connections, inspire enthusiasts, and share the

ARC vision for the future of electric

motorcycles. It was a momentous occasion,

and being in Vancouver, surrounded by the

best in the industry, felt like the perfect stage

to highlight what sets Arc apart.

THE FUTURE IS ELECTRIC

The Arc Vector is not only the most advanced

electric motorcycle ever brought to market; it

is a bike that utilizes exotic materials,

thoroughbred componentry, cutting-edge

architecture and technological innovations

that have never been applied to two-wheeled

transport before.

The revolutionary modular battery monocoque

is a legacy-free platform. ARC Vector features

patented front-end geometry, carbon fibre

swingarms, custom Öhlins dampers and

Brembo Stylema brake system. Releasing the

design process from the necessity to

incorporate cross-vehicle architecture

maximizes its true potential. Replacing the

traditional chassis with the battery facilitates

the Vector's class-leading range and

performance bike mass figures, delivering a

dynamic experience often lost with electric

vehicles, especially motorcycles.

The 240 kg electric bike has a 16.8kWh Li-ion

battery with a NEDC range of 436km. The 95

kW/ 127hp electric motor takes the motorbike

from 0 -10 0 kph in 3.2a and reaches an

electronically-limited top speed of 20 0 kph.

FORGIN G A N EW PATH

Non-conformist mavericks create ARC

motorcycles for spirited and eco-conscious

individuals.

Designed and built by a team of visionary

engineering specialists led by founder and

CEO M ark Truman, the Vector unites

world-first technology, best-in-class

performance and quality, and a level of

exclusivity that will make this one of the most

lusted-after EVs ever to enter production.

"We love journeys and experiences, some of us

like travelling quickly, some are more

methodical and technical. But we hold one

thing in common - attitude. To unselfishly do

the best that can be done with the technology

and materials around us. It is this attitude

which when pulled together makes Arc such a

special business, and in turn, makes special

vehicles," shares Truman.

We were thrilled for the ARC Vector to be at

the Luxury & Supercar grand event because it

showcased a sustainable and breathtakingly

exciting future of mobility.

Interested in owning one of these magnificent beasts?

Pricing starts at $120,000 and each is created

bespoke for the discerning rider.

A WEST COAST LEGACY

Architect and Vancouver native

Arthur Erickson (1924-20 0 9) was a

passionate advocate of cultural

awareness and a fervent explorer

of human and natural environments.

Though remarkably diverse, his

buildings share deep respect for

dramatic use of space and light.

He brought to his work an

understanding of community that

when filtered through his insightful

mind and fertile imagination, gave

birth to a singular architecture that

is in dialogue with the world.

Erickson studied at the UBC and

later at M cGill University in

M ontreal, QC. Advanced studies

brought Erickson to Greece, Italy,

the M iddle East and Japan, where

he discovered the nuances of

architectural style in climate and

terrain.


065

In 1963, Erickson reached a landmark

moment in his career when he won a

competition to design SFU in Burnaby.

Upon the University's completion,

Erickson's integrative design gained

international acclaim, opening the

gateway to a long and distinguished

career.

Arthur Erickson is undoubtedly one of

the most famous architects from

Vancouver, having designed some

iconic buildings and structures, including

the Canadian Embassy in Washington,

DC, the M useum of Glass in Tacoma,

WA, and Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto,

ON .

AN IN CREDIBLE PARTN ERSHIP

Of significant influence on the

Eppich House II design was a woman

named Cornelia Hahn Oberlander

(1921-20 21). She had a passion and

purpose to create environmental works

that recognized the importance of

intertwining the man-made with nature.

Oberlander was a Vancouver- based

German- born Canadian landscape

architect who blended naturalistic

designs with modernist ideals and

recognized the urgency of climate

change early, designing public spaces to

mitigate its effects.

She was one of the first women to study

at Harvard' s Graduate School of

Design, where Walter Gropius, a leader

of the Bauhaus movement , taught her. Its

modernist ethos and her upbringing gave

her a mission to improve people's lives

with public spaces nourished by nature.

With Erickson, she created some of the

most enduring and beloved public spaces

in her adopted city of Vancouver,

including Robson Square, a three-block

downtown plaza conceived and then

built between 1978 and 1983.

An oasis of green roofs, waterfalls and

hanging gardens, it descends from the

city's courthouses and government offices

and the meadow of native plants for the

M useum of Anthropology at UBC, a

Brutalist building design.

PRESERVED IN THE PAGES

In 20 19, Vancouver writer Greg Bellerby

published the essential book on this marvel of

modern architecture.

' Eppich House II: The Story of an Arthur

Erickson M asterw ork' with photography by

Erickson's nephew Geoffrey Erickson.

The book meticulously documents Erickson's

first steel residence and explores the

material's structural and aesthetic

possibilities, with curved beams, dyed

cladding, and milled furnishings designed by

Francisco Kripacz.

All features that would have been

near-impossible on a regular commission. But

after seeing the first Eppich House, built for

Hugo Eppich's twin brother Helmut, Hugo

entrusted Erickson with creating and

furnishing the entire house, inside and out.

Bellerby has been a curator and gallery

director for over thirty years, producing many

exhibitions and publications on visual art,

architecture, and design.

He was the commissioner and co-curator of

the Canadian Pavilion at the 20 0 6 Venice

Biennale of Architecture. From 1988 to

20 13, he was the director/ curator of the

Charles H. Scott Gallery at the Emily Carr

University of Art + Design.

CURV PA SSIVE HOUSE | Bak erWest Real Estate

C U R V

Throughout the world, the environmental

challenge has given architecture a renewed

sense of purpose.

CURV, with its Passive House credentials,

takes this to the next level. It is also the first

building project in Vancouver for

Montreal-based developer Brivia Group.

Visually stunning, the undulating shape is

meant to resemble a fresh, green shoot

emerging from the crack in a city sidewalk.

CURV will be the tallest Passive House in

the world and will have 358 homes,

including 96 social- housing units, and a

rooftop amenities area.

In a global market where discerning buyers

have their choice of impeccably appointed

homes, the highest standard of design

excellence is a minimum expectation.

Representing a new era in sustainable

design and engineering, CURV is built to the

Passive House standard, the leading

measure for low-carbon, energy-efficient

homes, and will set a new standard and

mark a new era of design and engineering

aligned with personal and planetary

well-being.

"Vancouver is known for its beauty, its

livability, and its campaign to be the

greenest city in the world. It is also admired

globally for the quality of its urban planning

and, increasingly, for its architectural

ambition. All this makes Vancouver the

perfect canvas for a 60 -storey, luxury

Passive House tower that stands as a tribute

to the city, and a new benchmark for design

excellence and environmental achievement

worldwide." Kheng Ly, Founder, President

and CEO, Brivia Group

Program Manager for Sustainable

Communities at BC Hydro.

Sarah shares, "CURV checks every

single box you would expect from a

luxury development - from its views,

location, and beautiful, organic form

designed by a renowned architect. But

achieving the platinum- level, global

standard for environmental

sustainability is truly the icing on the

cake, elevating it into another realm

that only a few others are in."

She continues, "The fact that we are

now seeing the effects of climate

change on a daily basis has taken my

interest in sustainability from a mere

'work' interest to a true 'life' passion -

in knowing that each one of us has a

role to play in making a difference."

Jamie Squires, Fifth Avenue Real Estate M arketing

"As someone who has been involved in real

estate for two decades, CURV represents a

dramatic shift in how we view luxury. CURV

is emblematic of a seismic transformation in

the very essence of luxury, catering to the

evolving values of today's discerning

clientele who seek not just the

best- of- the- best, but also embrace the

passive and sustainable nature of the

project," explains Jamie.

it embodies the very essence of what I

believe the future of luxury living should

be. CURV seamlessly merges

cutting-edge design, advanced

LOCATION IS KEY

N elson Heights is fast becoming

downtown Vancouver's most

sought-after address. CURV is flanked

by the city's ' Luxury Zone,' which

includes luxury brand offerings from

Hermes, Gucci, Prada, Dior, and more.

Dining includes Michelin-recognized

Botanist, Boulevard, and M ott 32, and

some of North America's top-ranked

self-care enclaves like Chi Spa at the

Shangri- La and Fairmont Pac Rim' s

Willow Stream Spa.


081

HAVEN IN THE CLOUDS

On the 60 th floor rooftop, residents will find a

lofty paradise, aptly named The Haven.

A divine space that includes a luxury dining

area with a barbecue and pizza oven and

the open-air SkySpa and SkyBar, sheltered

by a wall of windows that block the wind, an

expansive lounge and an elegant and richly

appointed private dining room.

In addition to the gym with professional

quality equipment, there is a games lounge

with a golf simulator, billiards, and a yoga

room powered by Lululemon Studio. From the

24-hour concierge on the ground level to

top-floor access, CURV sets the stage every

day for beauty and wonder.

THE FUTURE IS PASSIVE

Designed in Canada and developed in

Germany, ' Passive House' is internationally

recognized as the leading science-based

standard for low-carbon, energy-efficient

homes. Its exacting specifications create the

optimal conditions to thrive? including fresh,

filtered air in a quiet, tightly insulated,

temperature-optimized environment? at

lower ongoing costs.

Far exceeding the City of Vancouver's 20 30

target for net zero emissions, CURV will use

as little as 10 percent of the heating and

cooling energy of similar conventional

buildings.



083


Proving the Passive House form at this scale,

CURV will be a tipping point in highrise

residential construction? the world's most

energy-efficient structure and a new standard

for the future of living. Building CURV to the

Passive House standard will save an estimated

50 ,0 0 0 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG)

emissions over 50 years!

CURV is a visionary idea expressed in a luxury

home: everything one would expect of an

exclusive, international residential property,

and something more. It is an exacting, and at

this scale, unprecedented Passive House

standard that reaches new heights for

personal and planetary well-being.

Like Tesla in its innovative breakout phase,

CURV leverages world-leading technological

performance to deliver the highest-quality

personal experience? the future of living. With

iconic architecture, ethereal interiors,

elevated amenities, panoramic views, and

game-changing environmental

achievement? CURV is luxury w ith purpose.

A FOCUS ON HEALTH & WELL- BEIN G

The environmental crisis threatens the planet's

livability, but the CURV team chooses to see it

as a design challenge. When it comes to

health and well-being, a home should guard

against the challenges of modern life - from

microbes and allergens, pollution, noise or

otherwise, and an increasingly erratic climate.


085


Passive House is the logical extreme in that

ambition? with everything from an

impenetrable building envelope to a purifying

air exchange system? designed and built to

ensure luxurious comfort and optimal conditions

to thrive.

Exceptional insulation guarantees optimal

indoor temperatures no matter the weather

outside. The high-quality, carefully engineered

Passive House building envelope enhances

comfort and ensures longevity. Triple-glazed,

draft-free windows protect against the

elements: cold, heat, and searing sunbeams.

There are no thermal bridges: exterior

connections that transmit heat or cold in or out

of buildings. The structure's airtight building

envelope prevents unwanted drafts and

preserves absolute quiet. CURV's ventilation

system ensures the quiet circulation of clean,

fresh, temperature-adjusted air.

The Passive House standard ensures a long

legacy with ultra-efficient energy use? saving

up to 90 % of heating and cooling energy

compared to similar buildings. The result is

lower operating costs and strata fees? freeing

up resources and future-proofing its value.

SON G OF THE HEAVEN S

As Vancouver is the gateway to the East, CURV,

soon to be the highest point in the city, has

another identity: Tin Wan (? ? ).

In Cantonese, these words translate roughly as

" sky" and " song," but together, they are

understood to evoke "the song of the heavens."

This is fitting for a building that shapes a new

way forward on a changing planet.

A ZUR LEGA CY COLLECTION HOTEL | Vancouver

t r a v e l


A Z U R

Nestled amid breathtaking

mountains and the Pacific Ocean,

AZUR Legacy Collection Hotel

offers a remarkable fusion of

Art Deco and personalized service.

It aims to be a gathering place for

travellers in the heart of Vancouver's

charming downtown financial

district.

AZUR is a luxury boutique hotel, an

independent family-owned brand

founded by Farida Sayani in

collaboration with her daughter,

Sofia. Their personal touches are

evident in a décor and design

scheme that evokes a sense of

timeless elegance. The

mother-and-daughter team

enlisted the help of architect

Shoghig Tutunjian of Studio One

Architecture Inc. and Inside Design

Studio Principal Judy Henderson to

help bring their vision to life.

"The core value at AZUR Legacy

Collection Hotel is our commitment

to provide exceptional experiences

by prioritizing each guest's wants,

needs, and desires," says Farida.

"We've gone above and beyond,

sparing no expense to bring this

project to life, and we are confident

that we will redefine the level of

luxury, service, and style our guests

are seeking in Vancouver."

AZUR's site was carefully selected

because of its prime location in the

heart of Vancouver's financial and

fashion districts, its proximity to

points of entry such as cruise ship

terminals, Helijet, and seaplane

terminals, entertainment, and sports

venues, as well as notable

attractions like historic Chinatow n,

the waterfront, Stanley Park, and

the city's finest restaurants.


093

FIRST IN WESTERN CAN ADA

The AZUR Legacy Collection Hotel is the first

and only property in Western Canada to

join a distinguished Leading Hotels of the

World (LHW) portfolio that includes over

40 0 boutique luxury properties in more

than 80 countries worldwide.

From its elegant and expansive lobby

through to the height of luxury on the

13th- floor Penthouses, bespoke elements

and a simple yet dignified design influenced

by the glamour of the 1940 s Art Deco style

abound throughout AZUR, allowing touches

of modern architecture and classical details

to refine it. Opulent finishes, such as satin

brass fixtures, inlaid marble floors, and the

art pieces by locally renowned artists that

command attention in the lobby, are very

articulately curated.

The classic luxury of European marble can

be seen throughout the property? from the

inlaid marble floors of the vestibule

arranged in a chevron pattern with brass

details to the marble elevator to the

intimate and warm lobby accentuated by a

grand gas fireplace with fluted metal and

marble sides and a crystal chandelier

suspended above a great high cove ceiling.



095

Each of the 10 4 rooms, suites, and

penthouses seamlessly blends classical style

with integrated wireless technology to help

create the most comfortable and

convenient stay for guests. Walk-through

closets feature high-lacquer finished built-in

cabinetry with LED lighting and lead to

expansive marble bathrooms with double

sinks, a rain shower and soaker tub,

oversized back-lit mirrors, and heated

floors.

STAY UN DER THE STARS

High atop AZUR, the Penthouse Suites

provide the ultimate luxury getaway or

glamorous staycation in the city's heart.

The Penthouses offer a grand entry through

lacquered double doors onto natural

hardwood floors. The custom-designed rugs,

custom millwork, and a five-piece bathroom

with a free- standing tub commanding

attention. Other opulent touches include a

marble- clad fireplace, a comfortable

seating arrangement, and a high-end bar

for casual drinks and entertainment. For a

" home aw ay from home" feeling for the

guests, the bar has an integrated seating

area, a built-in coffee machine, sink,

washing machine, a large fridge, and an

outdoor oasis with a private landscaped

patio overlooking the city.



097

DIN IN G AT AZUR

The culinary cornerstone of the AZUR

Legacy Collection Hotel can be found in

Dahlia, an intimate and elegant lobby

restaurant and bar. The hotel lobby's light,

simple, sleek feel is juxtaposed with the rich,

dark, and cozy atmosphere of Dahlia.

Guests can seamlessly transition from one to

the other and experience the interplay

between both and the unique facets of

each space. Expansive yet intimate, with

oversized floor- to- ceiling folding w indow s

opening to the elegant and intimate Dahlia

patio, guests can enjoy the fresh air and

outdoor ambiance.

Dahlia's menu evokes the flavours and

style of the French Riviera, all while

incorporating sustainably sourced

ingredients.

Beyond the culinary, Dahlia's bar program

writes a new chapter in the city's storied

craft cocktail scene. It will tempt cocktail

enthusiasts with a thoughtfully curated

collection of rare whiskeys, tequilas,

scotches, cognacs, and excellent and

outstanding wines from the glass and bottle.

An elevated yet approachable list of wines

will also spotlight varietals and vintages

that showcase the unique terroir of

Old and N ew World and the pride of place

expressed in each bottle.



099

Culinary flair and finesse at AZUR are

extended to the rooftop restaurant, the

M iddle Eastern- inspired Lavantine. It will

offer a unique culinary experience within a

warm, lush garden-like setting with green

spaces on the 14th floor. The restaurant

The current Sunzen Art Gallery exhibition,

"Treasures of the Heaven," features the work

of Chun Feng Xiang Yu, one of the top

porcelain makers in contemporary China, with

kilns in Jingdezhen City, the birthplace of

Chinese porcelain. The founder and current

owner, Zou Jun, has been working as a

porcelain artist for over thirty years.

The lifelike characters and grand landscapes

are compared with scroll paintings, masterly

depicted within inches. Modern aesthetics

interpreted with exceptional craftsmanship,

Chun Feng Xiang Yu is worthy of the reputation

of "treasures of the heaven."



117


In over a decade of collaboration between

Sunzen Art Gallery and Zou Jun, the curators

have collected over a hundred Chun Feng

Xiang Yu masterpieces. This exhibition was

curated by Sida Chen, produced by

Jing N ing and spotlights Chun Feng Xiang

Yu's most important stages of creation,

representing the thinking and exploration of

Chinese porcelain art and its future.

HISTORICALLY EXQUISITE PORCELAIN

Born in Jingdezhen City, Zou Jun's ancestors

started their porcelain-making business in

the early 19th century to support

family-owned Chinese medicine shops.

At that time, the Chinese medicine shops

needed large amounts of porcelains as

containers for Chinese medicines.

In 1992, the Hong Kong tea merchant

Rong Zhi ordered some customized

teawares from Zou Jun, marking his

starting point in a new career as

a porcelain-making master.


119


Zou Jun graduated from Jingdezhen

Porcelain Academy with a systemic

understanding of designing and making

porcelain. The archaized designs of Chun

Feng Xiang Yu porcelains are based

on the Late Yuan Dynasty and early

M ing Dynasty (14th~15th century)

porcelain styles.

The shape, brushwork, thickness of the

porcelain body, and blue and white colour

have all undergone repeated trials and

comparisons. On this basis, the designs are

modified with new techniques and a

modernist taste. With a great understanding

of Chinese porcelain's history, tradition, and

unique aesthetics, Chun Feng Xiang Yu now

represents high-quality contemporary

porcelain art in China.

Along with an extensive collection of

artwork and cultural pieces, Sunzen is also

home to numerous exhibitions and events to

foster community development between

artists, collectors, and professionals.
