Imagine a home that is not only functional and beautiful, but also provides the most comfortable living and healthiest breathing environment.
Welcome to DIMEX Group’s newest project, Lakewood - a collection of 24 European-inspired Passive House three-bedroom townhomes and one-bedroom garden homes, just three blocks from Commercial Drive.
Lakewood - Exterior
“We have really thought through the design of these homes: from the efficiency of the building to minimizing maintenance fees and adding multiple outdoor spaces to each home for outdoor enjoyment,” says Gordana Plemic, director of sales and operations, DIMEX Group. “We wanted to exceed the expectations of buyers and have invested a lot time and attention to the finishes and features to make every room in the home special.”
Essentially, Passive House is designed to be extremely energy-efficient so that it doesn’t take a lot of power to heat or cool. In simple terms, Passive House focusses on the house’s envelope, which includes 6 inches of additional insulation on the exterior walls, and triple glazed tilt and turn windows and doors.
“We are the Tesla of buildings - the homes do not use any gas, they run on electricity and they are very efficient,” says Plemic.
Although Passive House does translate into lower operating costs, with a savings of up to 90 per cent in your heating bills, there’s no comparison in comfort between living in a Passive House home and conventional home.
“I have embraced the Passive House standard as a proven strategy for increasing occupant comfort and health and reducing energy demand in buildings." Says Scott Kennedy, principal of Cornerstone Architecture.
Lakewood - Courtyard
Lakewood’s thoughtfully designed homes offers open-concept layouts with durable wide plank vinyl flooring, main floor powder room, expansive triple pane windows, built-in shower niche, and adaptable flex-space for storage or home office.
The contemporary townhome kitchens embraces both functionality and timeless elegance - with Fisher & Paykel fridge, Bosch Induction oven, quartz countertop with matching full height quartz backsplash, and integrated pull out cabinet organizer system for utensils, knives and cooking oils, right beside the oven to keep your counters clutter free.
Lakewood - Living Room
Our floorplans offer many different bedroom configurations to appeal to families in different stages of their lives,” says Plemic.
Known to locals as The Drive, the iconic Commercial Drive is arguably one of the most diverse, vibrant and colourful neighbourhoods in the city. It is within this sought-after postal code that Lakewood homeowners will call home.
That’s not all, living at Lakewood means you are close to numerous parks, Trout Lake's Community Centre and within blocks of both the SkyTrain and B-Line to UBC. For young families, Lakewood is a short walk to Lord Nelson and Laura Secord Elementary and Vancouver Technical and Templeton Secondary. St. Francis Assisi, Our Lady of Sorrows, Notre Dame and Stratford Hall are also easily assessable.
Lakewood comes to you from visionary developer DIMEX Group, where the entire team is passionate about and committed to designing and building innovative, functional, and eco-friendly homes.
Lakewood’s one-bedroom garden homes, start at $580,000, while the three-bedroom townhomes start at $1,180,000. Lakewood’s Sales Centre is located at DIMEX Group’s head office at 610-1155 West Pender Street in Downtown Vancouver and is open by appointment only.
