Living Spaces
Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada
(Between Mount Pleasant and Point Grey)
Our house, in the middle of our street...
 Living spaces is, at this point, an idea. An idea that brings a few families together with a handful of worldly, wise, single adults so as to live and share their lives together, and ultimately, create an optimum communal environment in which to rear children.
High standards in all respects and a high level of complimentary energy will create a happy, healthy home.
