He and I have worked together for over 30 years and his award-winning designs have contributed to our success. “It’s really important to us as developers to leave behind something that’s architecturally relevant to the city as opposed to just building something that doesn’t provide any aesthetic improvement to the neighbourhood,” Parker explains. “Every building we build is a reflection on us as a company and our reputation for our next building.” “Paramount is one we’re super excited about because it’s got a heavy art deco influence,’ he adds. “It’s the sort of project Nanaimo hasn’t seen in a very long time. It’s going to help make these two blocks very interesting and leave buildings that architectural relevance for decades to come.” Paramount’s design draws inspirations from the grandeur of the 1920s. The architecture is a modern homage to the art deco and streamlined modern movements. Out front, there’s an art deco-inspired theatre marquee that says ‘Paramount.’ The façade, characterized by geometric lines, elegant curves, and iconic design elements, creates a “striking visual identity.” The distinct style “not only echoes the past but also seamlessly fits into the urban fabric of the present.” Inside, Paramount’s interiors are “a testament to refined living,” Madden says. The design philosophy “marries classic elegance with modern comfort, featuring clean lines and art deco influences.” Residents have the choice of two sophisticated color palettes, allowing for personalization of their space. High-end finishes like warm wood tones, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances enhance the living experience, ensuring each home is “both stylish and functional.” AUGUST 2024
