VIBE Awards

We were pleased to attend the first annual Vancouver Island Building Excellence (VIBE) Awards Gala, held on May 23rd at the Coast Bastion Hotel in Nanaimo BC. The VIBE Awards showcases the best in residential construction, design and renovation on Vancouver Island.

The night was made even more special for us as our award winning project, Cadence, won the first award of the evening…the very first VIBE award ever given out.

The night continued with Cadence collecting four awards in total. Three being shared with the builder, TS Williams Construction and the fourth award, for Best Interior Design Custom Residence – New or Renovation, being shared between TS Williams Construction and The Interior Design Group.

Congratulations to all the finalists and winners! It was a hugely successful, Gala event!

KB Design received three VIBE awards in the following categories:

• Best Single Family Home over 3,000 Sq. Ft.

• Best Single Family Kitchen

• Best Outdoor Living Space

Gold Awards for Cadence

The results are in! Cadence was just recently awarded the Canadian Home Builder’s Association’s National Gold SAM Award for Best Single-Detached Home over 4,000 square feet!

We’re honoured, once again, to be sharing this recognition with the builder, TS Williams Construction, who traveled to Halifax this past weekend to accept this prestigious Gold award.

Along with this, Cadence was also awarded two Golds at the Georgie Awards on February 27th in Vancouver. While the SAM award is a National award with entries from all across Canada, the Georgie Awards focuses on construction and design achievements within British Columbia.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists for the 2014 season...the caliber of work this year was exceptional and we are so pleased to be amongst the many stunning projects conceived and built by our industry.

As well, the utmost gratitude goes out to the owners of these fine homes, who entrust us to bring their visions to life and then allow us to enter their homes for these industry awards.

It all begins with you!

KB Design is Proud to Support this Campaign

Among the many things that I love about the work that I get to do is the interesting and inspiring clients that I get to meet and work for. This past year I had the privileged of working with Chantal and Mike Schauch, designing them an environmentally conscious home in Squamish BC.

Getting to know my client’s personal lives, interests and passions helps me to design them a home that meets them on many levels and allows them to truly live in the space. This is an integral part of the design process and has some added side benefits as well, namely I get to be inspired by my clients.

Chantal and Mike are passionate about the environment and have combined their love of the outdoors with film making to bring awareness to the fragility of many areas of this world that need protection. In truth, they can tell you more fully about their purpose in this Indiegogo Campaign, as they raise funds for their Adventure Documentary ‘Colours of Edziza’.

I am proud to be a supporter of this campaign and would also like to take this opportunity to thank Chantal and Mike for trusting me with the task of bringing their vision for a conscious home to life.
