Calgary’s latest workshop-showroom and more hot new stores opening now.

Hot new rooms we love.

CALGARY Mercedes and Singh

Design and fabrication power couple Karen Matharu and Sumer Singh (the latter a previous WL Designers of the Year One to Watch) have opened up a workshop-showroom combo specializing in metal, wood and concrete. From contemporary lighting fixtures to custom one- off tables, you pick your material and this duo will take your piece from conceptualization to presentation, all in the same 2,000-square-foot space. 612A 36 Ave. NE, mercedesandsingh.com —Allie Turner

VANCOUVER Leisure Center

Imagine shopping a designer apocalypse bunker filled with luxe apparel, books, music, furniture and cosmetics. The aptly named 22,000-square-foot multipurpose store even houses a tonic bar by Alchemist’s Kitchen. Clothing brands range from Vetements to couture houses like Andrew GN—all of which stand stark against reflective metal walls in octagonal negative-space rooms. 950 Homer St., leisure-center.com —A.T.

VICTORIA West Coast Refill

Tucked away in Dragon Alley ( Victoria really loves its alleyways), this recently opened shop proves less is more, stocking a lean but well- considered inventory of skin- care, bath, and home- cleaning products available for bulk purchase, by weight or by refill—all aimed at reducing consumer packaging and waste. Also on offer: reusable goods like simple clear- and amber- glass bottles (perfect for decanting) and Vancouver Island-made products like Abeego’s beeswax food wraps and Enviro Glass straws, which are made of hardy commercialgrade glass and available with lids that can fit any Mason jar. 10-532½ Fisgard St., westcoastrefill.com —Rosemary Poole.
