When this Alameda couple came to us wanting to renovate their home's porch, they brought a one-of-a kind post card depicting the porch that was there originally. At some point, the arbor was lost and so was over half the area of the porch. We helped them by completing drawings with detail for their contractor to restore this adorable and well-loved Bungalow to its former glory. See the completed project below!

At a City of Duncan council meeting last week, communitecture presented a vision for Whistler Street that would see it transformed from a troubled back alley into a vibrant public square.
Whistler Street sits behind a commercial strip along the Trans Canada Highway, off of Coronation Street. Because many of the businesses face away from it, the street feels more like a service alley than a neighborhood street. “Generally, the street and the private lots appear to have more asphalt parking area than necessary, very little landscaping, and no sidewalks, making the street feel vacant and unwelcoming,” according to the communitecture's report. “In part due to these conditions, the street has become a site of illicit drug sales, the public nuisances of drug use, and other criminal or unsafe activity in recent years.” Business owners have been clamoring for solutions. They’ve organized themselves to patrol and clean up the area. When Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh visited Duncan last month, he came to Whistler Street to hear their concerns. |
