Homeowners are happily discovering that they can appease their inner child by building a personalized backyard water park. By adding waterslides, a lazy river, splash zones, and other water park favorites, homeowners can capture the pure excitement usually found only at a distant, crowded amusement park. As the demand for personal water parks increases, pool designers are learning the ins and outs of developing and building these intricate spaces. It is important that highly skilled engineers and builders are consulted, because the correct type and number of pumps, electricity, and other controls are critical for success. Plus, these complex zones require a variety of permits and must follow a local government’s building codes.

Contrast was the main design principle with dark and bright colours playing off of each other to create the visual impact of a seemingly simple design. The design is governed by cost-effective interventions such as mono-pitched roofs including a hidden roof draining rainwater into the columns on the front patio.

Nestled in the small village community of Anmore, 45 minutes away from downtown Vancouver, this stunning 5100 s.f. 5 bedroom French Country residence designed by Barone Developments was recognized by the Canadian Home Builders Association in 2010 as one of the best newly constructed residences in British Columbia. Situated on a half-acre estate, this home features classic French Country architectural design elements and was designed specifically for families who enjoyed entertaining. Two sets of 8’ French doors look out to a spectacular wooded area and lead to a 500 s.f. outdoor living space complete with BBQ, fridge, fireplace and infra-red heaters. A calm modern colour-palette on the upper two floors complements the dark maple hardwood, white shaker-style cabinetry, pewter wrought-iron railing, and Carrara marble surfaces. A warmer colour palette was selected for the lower level of the home which was designed with large gatherings in mind and features a spectacular bar, games and lounge area all just steps away from a 30’ x 50’ Sports Court situated at the rear of the property. The floorplan of this home was incredibly functional and the design was so well received that Barone Developments was hired to recreate this home for clients living in the prestigious Government Road area of Burnaby and in the British Properties of West Vancouver.
