A shared dream with architect Bing Thom, long in the making, is about to emerge in downtown Vancouver. The Butterfly by Westbank is bringing change to Vancouver Architecture. This Bing Thom original inspired by organ pipes pays homage to the First Baptist Church and is an architecturally beautiful, world-class building filled with 331 one-of-a-kind homes in the sky. This unique 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home boasts a total of 1,130 Sq. Ft. with 1,006 Sq. Ft. of interior living and 124 Sq. Ft. of exterior living. With a custom interior by Bing Thom Architects you’ll enjoy a eucalyptus veneered one & a half leaf front entrance door, large format white porcelain flooring throughout all living areas, white painted interior walls and back-painted glass cladding to seamlessly integrate with the kitchen cabinetry. The custom designed Italian-crafted kitchen highlights soft-closing precision cabinets, white back-painted glass cabinetry, custom designed organically shaped eucalyptus leaf island, top-of-the-line custom Miele appliances. Floor-to-ceiling sheer drapery with motorized controls that gently follow the curvature of the tower, the interior curved clear glass walls are appointed with curtains to allow for maximum daylight distribution and a grand appearance. The pure white interiors with hints of gold accents dissolve structural confines creating the sensation of continuous space and a beautiful state of permanent motion. Designed LEED Gold Certified, the Butterfly excels in water conservation, energy reduction and storm water management. The grand amenities include 24-hour concierge, sky spa pool, state-of-the-art-gym and luxurious $1 Million dollar Fazioli custom piano. Upgrades include 1 parking stall, 1 residential storage locker and 1 bicycle post.
