Bordeaux show suites go above and beyond
Outside, the rooftop podium with a courtyard garden, barbecue area, community garden plots and a children’s play area will be popular with residents looking to enjoy the outdoors.
Scheduled for completion in 2021, Bordeaux is currently in preview with two show suites at the presentation centre at 4247 Lougheed Highway in Burnaby.
The one-bedroom suite features the Pierre colour scheme, while the two-bedroom apartment is finished in the tones and materials from the Olivia palette.
Bold contrasts define the onebedroom show suite. The generous 34-by-51-inch island provides plenty of storage space and hosts a slide-out dining table for two. When the meal is over, the table easily slides back into the island freeing up space in the living area. Another innovative space-planning feature is the sliding frosted glass panel bedroom door that can be closed or left open to enhance the feeling of spaciousness in the unit.
There’s plenty of design drama in the bathroom where black marble-look floor tiles are a standout against the over-sized 30-by-10inch white and grey marble-look porcelain wall tiles while the polished chrome rain shower head and faucets add some sparkle.
In the two-bedroom home showcasing the Olivia palette, the grey quartz countertops and matching single-slab backsplash complement the sleek design of the kitchen that features dual tone Italian cabinetry. The upper cabinets doors are a horizontal wood grain laminate while the lower cabinets have a high-gloss finish. All doors and drawers feature soft close hardware and the upper cabinet doors easily fold up to facilitate access to the storage space. Under cabinet lighting will provide ambient and task lighting.
This kitchen also features an innovative dining table that folds out from the island when in use.
Major appliances in the kitchen include an Italian-designed Fulgor Milano five-burner gas cooktop and 30-inch wall oven and the refrigerator and freezer drawers and the dishwasher are integrated to enhance the sleek design of the kitchen, says Jade Kwok, Solterra’s vice-president of interior design.
In the ensuite bathroom, the large framed mirror alongside the medicine cabinet contributes to the spa-like ambience, while a 36-inch-wide trough sink set in the high-gloss floating vanity adds a style injection.
All homes in Bordeaux will have air conditioning, out-of-suite storage, at least one parking stall and optional electric car charging stalls will be available.
The homes are also equipped for the latest technology with highcapacity CA-5 wiring to maximize internet and digital entertainment and there are conveniently located USB outlets in the bedrooms.
