Fashion isn’t just about clothes; it’s a lifestyle. It’s the culture we experience, the place we travel, the things we eat -and yes, the way we design our spaces”. The bathroom is a personal space.

Originating in the 1960s and 70s, the Vancouver Special was designed with affordability and functionality in mind. Characterized by their box-like structure, low-pitched roofs, and balconies stretching across the front, these homes quickly became a staple, especially for new immigrants and growing families, due to the spacious interiors and adaptability they offered.

Autumn in the Pacific Northwest offers some of the most amazing scenery in Canada. While we say goodbye to summer barbecues and outings in the park, we say hello to sweater weather and comfortable afternoons with a cup of tea.

Designing a room around one statement piece, like a bold wallpaper or a standout colour, can be a fun and dynamic way to bring a space to life. Designing the space around an item or colour you love is a great jumping-off point for those who want to make a big impact in a room without making a lot of changes.

In our efforts to commemorate the day and the survivors, we at Jamie Banfield Designs wish to highlight some of Canada’s own Indigenous designers and architects. We aim to showcase and appreciate their designs not just to find inspiration in their work.
