HOUSES OF VANCOUVER || Photo walk capturing spring blossoms and architectural feats
A sunny day prompted us to pick up our cameras and head out to a quiet residential neighbourhood in Vancouver to capture delicate spring blooms and discover unique residential architectural designs on our photo walk.
Vibrant pinks, champagne orange, and vintage white complement the lush greenery of mature, tall trees that soar high above the houses lining the streets during the spring season. From cozy cottages to sleek and modern residences, we were able to explore the changing face of Vancouver’s housing design. Along the way, we also contemplated the type of home we aspire to live in; all in all a fruitful day of exploration through our lens.

This would be the home I aspire to retire in. A cottage with a cozy porch and beautiful blossoms arching over the entryway.
The dainty flowers planted outside this home soften the sharp architectural lines of this residence.
A modern residence favouring the use of glass, with a see-through glass porch and large format windows that allow light in from the front and back of the home on the first floor. The second floor similarly features wide windows to allow in an abundance of natural light.
A home painted in a catchy violet. Nestled behind a wall of greenery with pink blossoms marking the stairs up to the front door.
Gentle white blossoms draping itself over the doorway of a home, colour matched to the gable roof.
The dark exterior and narrow frame of this home makes it stand out. The two thin trees outside its front door matches the aesthetics of the architecture’s design.
A wall of rich red blooms adorn the fence of a residence.
We discovered a narrow pathway in between two homes that connect two parallel neighbourhood streets. Lined with greenery on both sides, the branches stretch and connect to form a protected passage.

A neighbourhood hidden gem cafe surrounded by vibrant cherry blossoms. Imagine enjoying a frothy latte in this serene setting.
In full bloom.
