Ginger Condos by Porte Development Corp, the latest new-home project in and around Vancouver's Chinatown, is a lovely demonstration of the role of cultural cues or prompts in architecture.
Located at East Georgia and Main, Ginger's architecture will speak of the older architecture nearby, nine floors. Exterior colours, however, will declare the building an addition to the historic streetscape: Orange and green.
Inside the Ginger building, 11 different photographs of historic Chinatown will dress up the homes' front doors. It's an uncommon, but not unheard-of front-door treatment: The front doors of the nearby Woodward's homes will receive a graphic treatment, of bright artwork. The doors to the rooms of a Seattle hotel, the Max, have been dressed up with copies of artwork from the hotel owner's collection.
The kitchen quartz countertops are available in green, bright red, aqua, black or white. And the living room, which features a Chinese daybed, has engineered bamboo flooring, also used in the kitchen and bedroom. Bamboo images are also painted on the walls of the bedroom, giving the interior a definite Eastern flair.
Indeed Vancouver's Chinatown, the second largest in North America, has always been a culturally and architecturally vibrant area of the city. But there was a time, says Porte, when the neighbourhood seemed untouched by new development, even though the areas around it -- Strathcona to the east, Yaletown to the west and Gastown to the north -- were hotbeds of development.
Porte, who purchased the Ginger location and adjacent London Hotel in the 700-block of Main Street for $5 million last year, plans to refurbish the hotel, providing 45 social housing suites, and adding over 9,000 square feet of new street front retail.
