FOXRIDGE HOMES — 31 Hummingbird Cove — Headingley — Taylor Farm
Open-concept layouts were not yet the next big thing, let alone the next passé thing. Lower levels were called basements and flex rooms had yet to be invented. Your kitchen appliances were white, avocado green or harvest gold and a typical bedroom en suite would not be described as “spa-like.” Toilets didn’t wash and blow-dry users, and since HGTV Canada wouldn’t hit our digital sets until 1997, few people realized that a house was not a home without quartz countertops. But perhaps the greatest change — in every sense of the word — has been in the evolution of energy-efficient homes. Coincidentally, it was in 1980 that the federal government launched its Super Energy Efficient Home program, which led to construction of the first R-2000 homes a few years later.
