Sounds familiar...
...but, What is a User Friendly Home?
User Friendly Homes have been on display and of
growing interest for over a decade. In 1987 the founder of User Friendly Homes Patrick
Simpson, designed and developed Telosky Village in Maple Ridge - a housing project
recognized as one of the landmarks of innovative housing design.
Scheduled to open this September, 1999
the User Friendly Demonstration Home will reveal how single and multiple unit
dwellings can be built to provide a safer, more efficient living environment for everyone,
especially seniors and young children.
Developed to accommodate the need for more appropriate housing for all user groups, the
home will dually address cost effectiveness and comfort using simple and easily integrated
design methods and products.
The home will act as a professional
training and public awareness center where guided, interactive tours will be offered to
the public for an entire year.
The site will also function as a training center for the Real Estate, Building, and
Healthcare industries through the provision of professional tours and workshops, and is
supported by BCs Ministry of Housing, Power Smart, BC Gas, CHBA, the City of
Vancouver and the Provincial and Municipal governments.
Through education, these industry professionals will acquire the expertise needed to be
better able to advise their clients on how to make informed decisions and alternately,
build better housing for the marketplace.
Given our demographically shifting and growing population, there is an opportunity for you
and your company to take a ground breaking leadership role in resolving these developing
housing issues.
