Village of Anmore (2006 population 1,785), British Columbia, Canada, is a village municipality in the Greater Vancouver Regional District, north of the city of Port Moody and along the shores of the Indian Arm. It is one of three politically independent villages (municipalities with populations under 2,500) in the Greater Vancouver area, the others being its neighbour Belcarra, and Lions Bay.
Anmore’s property values rose by an average of 35% between 2006 and 2007, the largest property value increase in British Columbia.[2]
Anmore is home to the Buntzen Lake recreation area, which has a popular swimming beach. Managed by BC Hydro, the lake is used to power two hydroelectric stations located on Indian Arm.

Our client VictorEric Premium Homes came to us with a very specific need.
They were just finalizing the construction of an ultra-modern home in North Burnaby and needed a high-end garden shed to match.There was only one builder in Metro Vancouver up to the challenge and that was Westcoast Outbuildings.
Through collaborations with the client, a building size was determined and a look and feel which closely resembled the main house agreed upon.
The end result is a stunning 6′ wide by 5′ Small Modern Garden Shed

It really is time for all “City Halls” Across North America to consider #Tinyhouse living. Especially when the average #Vancouver house is $1M+
Here is a story on the Toronto Star about a Man fighting City Hall to allow Tiny House Living.

Man wants to live in Toronto Tiny House
The proposed home will be cubelike, trailer-sized and wheeled — although not for the purpose of driving — and completely self-sustainable.
The problem? On paper, it sounds exactly like a standard travel trailer, and city zoning is clear: You can’t live out of a vehicle.
In reality, Anthony Moscar says his home will be anything but.
“Trailers are these temporary places . . . there’s no sense of having to be concerned about anything for the long term, because eventually you’re going to reconnect to a power source,” he says. “The tiny house isn’t any of that.”
