About Adrian
Adrian started his tiny home journey in a 1990 Ford Holidaire in 2016 in Ontario Canada and traveled through Canada and the United States and met a lot of people along the way who wondered if they could go tiny as well. Adrian is a freelance landscape designer that also offers his services to create remote designs for developers and builders and homeowners. Adrian has an exquisite eye for detail and is truly a skilled permaculture artist with the gift of evoking warmth and the deep feelings of home………from his designs.
Adrian's Journey To Revelstoke
”During my travels I met many people who also wondered if they could live tiny or entertain the idea of experiencing a life on the road.
”So I began to wonder, could I design a place that would allow people to live simply, connect deeply and contribute to a vision greater than themselves. ”With that in mind, I traveled by camper van to live in ecovillages and co-living communities, participate in workshops learning natural building, and studying permaculture sustainability practices. ”These places inspired me and taught me what works and the challenges I could expect to encounter. ”
By the end of this journey I accidentally found myself in Revelstoke. What was meant to be just a pit stop turned into 2 weeks; I got Revelstuck! I absolutely fell love with the culture, the outdoor wonderland, and the strong sense that this is a heritage community and not just another resort.
”As much as I wanted to stay I couldn’t find anywhere to live. In late November there was nowhere to rent and I wasn’t prepared to continue living out of the van for the winter.” ”So I went back home to Ontario. So I thought to myself; if I was going to return to Revelstoke I want to contribute to the community by creating a place for people like me who want to reduce their carbon footprint, live within community, all while being permanently affordable.”
This is the vision I hope to share with those interested. When I speak of developing land in harmony with nature I intend on protecting the land, studying it and learning how to live on it without clear cutting forests and excavating the soil that could be providing us food.
The main goal of this project is affordable housing. With this in mind we can work with the municipality, apply for grants and receive support from organizations searching for ways to solve this housing crisis.
We aim to engage community by creating social spaces and shared amenities where people can connect, collaborate and contribute to the village and the larger community of Revelstoke.
”Lastly, the vision addresses practicing a balanced lifestyle. ” ”This means creating space for yoga, meditation, and naturalistic healing. ” ”By living mindfully we can raise and grow our own food all while connecting deeply with those around us. ”
”Throughout my design career I’ve taken an interest in lifestyle design and the social and environmental connections outside of our homes. ” ”I found that the ‘American Dream’ many of us were taught to achieve in life is changing. ” ” With rising costs of living and an affordability crisis throughout Canada we find ourselves spending up to 30% or more of our income on the roof over our heads rather than the experiences and social interactions that bring happiness and joy into our lives. ”
Revelstoke is a rapidly changing community and because of tourism it can quite easily become just another overly priced resort destination. People from around the world are choosing to live here, but with lots of jobs and nowhere for people to live affordably, is this community sustainable?
