THE GREAT OUTDOORS ARE EVEN GREATER FROM A BUBBLE

This year’s National Home Show, taking place March 14-23 alongside Canada Blooms, is all about versatile living options, but the coolest planned display has to be the bubble. CasaBubble is a high-end outdoor space, billed as a high-tech home of the future. It is made entirely of recyclable materials, and its transparency allows for 360-degree nature views. It is also energy self-sufficient and uses bio-air conditioning. “Whether you’re looking to build or furnish a dream home in the suburbs, a vacation home lakeside, or a swanky space in the downtown core, one of our featured living spaces can provide you with the inspiration to help make that happen,” says show manager Denise Hayward. The National Home Show takes place at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto. nationalhomesshow.com.
