Design Harmony is Paramount
There is no one word to describe the architecture of the homes in Wilden. The design has a timeless yet innovative quality, with Craftsman-style touches and an alpine influence that is most often described as very inviting.
Such visionary development did not happen by chance. Building guidelines for the 2,000-acre hillside community have been in place since day one. These guidelines are not intended to over-regulate builders and create cookie-cutter homes. In fact, individuality is encouraged in Wilden. The guidelines simply add a sense of harmony to the community and help protect the investment of homeowners.
Protecting the Buyers Investment
“In comparison, many other neighbourhoods in the Okanagan are a mish-mash of architectural styles because developers compromised their guidelines during the Real Estate crisis to keep customers happy and not lose sales. This was short-term thinking. Ultimately, it decreases the value of the homes as people also want the surrounding community to be beautiful,” explains designer Chris Robinson, who has been instrumental in shaping the building guidelines for Wilden. In Wilden, you get the feeling every street and every corner has been there for a long time; that the community has grown organically over time. In actuality, Wilden is the largest master-planned community between Vancouver and Calgary and you can sense that there is no rush in developing.
