The Meccanica<\/a> strikes an eye-catching presence in Vancouver\u2019s Olympic Village. Completed in 2015 and designed by <\/span>Rafii Architects<\/span><\/a>, the Meccanica at East 1st & Quebec harkens back to its origins as the site of a workshop creating hand-crafted, replica Porsche roadsters. 165 homes ranging from 546 sq. ft. to 1590 sq. ft. in both condos and townhomes are spread between a tower and adjacent five-and-a-half storey building. The two buildings are joined via a four-storey, glass-enclosed bridge. This Cressey Group development<\/a> merges modern architecture with notes of the neighbourhood\u2019s industrial past to create a distinctive fixture many people are lucky to call home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Balancing Classic Styles with Modern Trends<\/span><\/h3>\n

Homes at the Meccanica come in studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms and three-bedroom units. Homes come equipped with efficient heating and air conditioning. In whichever configuration of bedrooms, homes have had their interiors thoughtfully and tastefully designed by Insight Design Group Inc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The interior of the homes feature roller blinds – perfect for changing the home\u2019s level of privacy and natural light to the resident\u2019s preference. The ceilings are over 9 feet high, while the floors are polished concrete. Throughout the home are over-height interior doors. In a nod to the area\u2019s industrial past, the bedroom has an industrial-style metal door.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kitchens have seamless quartz countertops (and matching backsplash) along with super high-gloss lacquer cabinetry. Appliances are by AEG with a fully-integrated refrigerator and dishwasher. The kitchen features a large, undermounted sink too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bathrooms in the units feature fully-tiled bathroom feature walls, high-gloss lacquer cabinets and a floating vanity mirror. The countertops are quartz, along with Grohe fixtures and undermounted sink. <\/span><\/p>\n
