Sharing a passion for innovation and perfection, two leaders of their respective industries in Vancouver – Intracorp and Inform Interiors – have partnered to reimagine how homes are designed and built.
Intracorp is renowned for building extraordinary real estate communities across Canada. Inform Interiors, owned by Niels and Nancy Bendtsen, is internationally respected for their principles of aesthetics, quality, and design. Their collaboration with Intracorp at The Jervis marks Inform’s first foray into architectural design.
Each partner brings a unique perspective to the design process as they focus on elevating the daily living experience through the application of thoughtful design. This pursuit of perfection and attention to detail has resulted in a building unlike any other in Vancouver.
Intracorp
For more than 30 years, Intracorp has developed highly successful residential communities throughout southern BC. These include Craig Bay on Vancouver Island, The Versatile Building and Orizon on Third in North Vancouver, and MetroPlace and Silver in Burnaby. At Intracorp, we are committed to building extraordinary real estate communities and creating an extraordinary experience for everyone.
Inform Interiors
For over 20 years, Inform has been committed to providing the best of classic and contemporary design. Niels Bendtsen opened his first retail store in 1963, focusing on well-designed and well-crafted modern furniture. Bendtsen’s wife and business partner Nancy Bendtsen studied architecture at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris and at the University of Toronto. Together, they developed Inform Interiors, growing it into an internationally-recognized resource for design evangelists.
At 19 storeys tall, the scale of The Jervis is respectful of the existing neighbourhood. Its dramatic exterior structural framework allows for fewer interior support structures, and opens up the homes to optimize space. The building’s expression is geometrically derived and simple in execution.
The raven black concrete framework complements the weathered Corten steel panels and graphite-coloured window frames and railings. From the interior, these components frame city, water, and mountain views.
Interiors at The Jervis are designed to optimize space and privacy. There are just 58 homes, four suites per floor, and every suite is a corner suite. Every decision — from the floorplans to the hinges on the doors— was considered, questioned, and tested with the homeowner in mind. Every aspect of a home at the Jervis embodies the ideal: ceilings are over-height; windows are positioned to maximise natural light and air circulation; proportions and pathways make sense.
Large covered outdoor areas, all positioned on a corner, adjoin the living areas in a way that redefines the relationship between indoor and outdoor living. The corner design also enhances natural light and air circulation within the home while offering views in multiple directions.
All homes feature two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Linear kitchens — inspired by Niels and Nancy Bendtsen’s Paris home — integrate high-end Italian cabinetry, self-healing surface finishes, specialty exhaust systems, and the most advanced cooking technology available.
Subtle design touches in bathrooms, from floor to ceiling hand-selected marble tiles to recessed mirrors with analyzed halo lighting, make all the difference to daily life.
Homes are wired for the potential of complete automation of security, temperature, lighting, blinds and sound from the very first day.
