A couple weeks ago, one of Metro Vancouver's favourite papers, The Province, toured through the Winchester showhomes. Their findings and story about the new community were published on Sunday, May 15th. Their story specifically focused on the ways that we've decorated our showhomes and how they're aligned with current design trends. They're right! As homebuilders, it's important that we stay on top of all issues home and home-care related. This allows us to design communities and homes from the foundations up that reflect how people want to live now, and further down the road in 5, 10, 15, and 35 years! While you can't experience a great floorplan or interior design principles without actually being in the space (read: pencil a trip to Winchester into your schedule), we thought that we'd help you get a leg up on whatever home design project you're currently embarking upon by sharing some of the sources of our information:
