Nine of Vancouver’s top interior designers are opening the doors to their work at the Millennium Water development, site of the one-time Olympic Athletes’ Village on the southeast shore of False Creek.
The designers’ “Avenues of the World” show homes are on view to the public as part of a marketing campaign to sell many of the condominiums.
Those who visit the homes — each has its own theme — will be given a “passport” at the Millennium Water sales office. By visiting at least eight of the nine show suites and collecting a stamp from each, they will become eligible to win a grand prize worth $20,000. That prize consists of a $5,000 gift certificate to Inform Interiors, $5,000 for the Cross Decor and Design, $5,000 for the services of William Switzer, a maker of reproduction antique furniture, and $5,000 in consultation services for any of the other interior designers involved in creating the show suites.
Ten second prizewinners will each receive an Electra bicycle with an estimated value of $700.
The nine interior designers include Alda Pereira Design, BYU Design, Inform Interiors, Kodu Design, Ledingham Design Consultants, The Cross Decor and Design, Mitchell Freedland, William Switzer and Associates and CHIL Design Group.
Avenues of the World is open to the public from noon to 5 p.m. every day but Friday.
The contest opened, along with the show suites, on May 15. Admission is free.
