A day at the spa... in your own backyard
When Lynn Philips originally installed a jetted hot tub in 1989, it was purely for relaxation. But 21 years later, a soak in her hot tub delivers an added benefit by providing relief for her arthritis. She's not alone. Many arthritis sufferers don't start their day without a soak in the…
New saunas will have you seeing (infra) red
Sultans of sweat embracing technology
Saunas that need no more power than a hair dryer and can be plugged into a regular household outlet are changing the industry. The benefits of inducing a heavy sweat in a sauna to detoxify the body is well-known to cultures around the world. Most sauna aficionados swear (and sweat) by…
Fan gets a fan
With his company's various cyclonic gizmos -- track-ball vacuum cleaners and wall-mounted hand dryers and the like -- industrial designer and inventor James Dyson has emerged as the people's aerodynamicist, a tamer of vortexes and laminar flow, the Edison of air. Familiar to American consumers from his role as company pitchman,…
Relax, it's only decor
Understated luxury on the list of trends for '10

Pay attention to interior design when drafting open-concept plan
IF you watch those design shows on TV, you'll hear people talking a lot about wish lists for a new home. More often than not, one of the items on the list is an open-concept floor plan. An open-concept living area is for many a modern must-have -- all the more…
A concept whose time may come
Off-the-grid home stands tall, really tall
It might be just a couple of feet tall, but Jean-Pierre Desmarais' concept home of the future has been stopping people in their tracks. That was the response from many in attendance at the recent Cottage and Country Homes show in Montreal. There it stood, around the corner from the new…
Think inside the box
Revolutionary design results in cosy, compact home
What packing-challenged, organizational junkie hasn't fantasized about something that can hold all the comforts of home in a small and portable package -- say, like Mary Poppins' magical bottomless bag? James Stuart, founder of Nanaimo-based Twelve Cubed Homes, wasn't thinking of Mary Poppins when he began doodling his designs for a…
Why buy used?
Odessy home makes strong economic case for a new home
If you're looking to buy a resale home in the $250,000 range or slightly more, you may want to consider another alternative. That alternative? A new home with more than 2,200 square feet of livable space (once you include the basement), solid level of finishing, attached double garage and good-sized yard. And…

Inner space
The Ambassador built for family living on every level
Say what you will, but when it comes to family living, few homes offer what well-conceived cab-over designs do: a spacious, efficient and family-friendly layout. Notice that the key phrase here is "well-conceived". If a cab-over design is slapped together in a haphazard manner, it simply amounts to several different levels…
Extreme Makeover: Tuxedo edition
Girton Boulevard beauty lovingly restored, expanded
By now, we've all heard of -- heck, maybe even watched -- the TV show, Extreme Makeover. You know, the show where contractors demolish a family's ramshackle home and create a new one from scratch. While that wasn't even remotely necessary for a 74-year-old vintage brick home at 139 Girton Boulevard…
