Vancouver is a vibrant city with numerous parks of varying sizes and REVIVE is ideally situated in the heart of these sprawling parks and green spaces. Within a 3 km radius from REVIVE, there are already a number of big and small parks, such as the famous Queen Elizabeth Park, Langara Park, Tisdall Park, Oak Park and Cambie Park locating at the closest. Cambie Park is 0.93 hectare in size and has dramatic giant redwood trees that separate the small park from the busy Cambie Street. REVIVE also benefited from these sound blocking trees and enjoyed a serene living environment. Living close to a park has many positive impacts to our daily lives. The big green field can be a safe and generous playground for children, a perfect open space for gatherings with family and friends, an encouraging environment for outdoor workouts and an ideal spot for dog walkers and their precious four-legged companions. Basically, this modern Mecca is every outdoor enthusiast’s, cyclists’ and dog walker’s dream.

The contoured, tree-lined fairways are easy to walk and make this challenging course appealing to players of all levels.

Every corner in the home can be a relaxing oasis and the bathroom happens to be an important one. The bathroom is where we begin and end each day and for most people it is a sanctuary where they unwind, find inspiration and just be themselves. It is probably the one room that we take most for granted.
At REVIVE, the design and materials used for the bathrooms are taken seriously. We aim to provide an exceptional bathroom environment that are both luxurious and practical for the residents. Better yet, to provide a “spa at home” experience in the bathroom. Use of marble tiles, top branded sanitary wares and brass gold sanitary hardwares are key elements for it’s modern and luxurious ambience. Beyond the aesthetic qualities, tiles are moisture-proof materials, so they are perfect for use in bathrooms and while top branded sanitary wares are simply stylish, what’s more important is that their high quality products could guarantee durability. Each bathroom also features a large three-doors mirror with integrated lights and behind the sleek mirror is a hidden cabinet for everyday bathroom necessities. The hidden mirror cabinet can declutter the tabletop and keeping it pleasant and clean.
Every detail of REVIVE living brings wellness in your life. For more details on our design concept and special project features, click the link in our bio! -

Technology has made all types of fruits and vegetables available for people to eat all year round. Although they may look the same, but in season fruits and vegetables actually have more nutrition and flavours than produce that’s not in season. Most importantly our bodies are made to eat seasonally and they can provide necessary nutrients appropriate for the time of year. For example, summer fruits such as berries, peaches, nectarines and other stone fruits contain vitamins that help protect against sun damage. With so many benefits, remember to look out for and eat more of the in season fruits and vegetables during the summer times.
Have a berry happy week ahead and be well! -

Revive strive to incorporate sustainability into luxury living in any way possible. Take the exterior envelope of Revive homes for example, they are all uniquely framed with Cold-Formed Steel, a strong, durable and 100% recycable material that provides a stable structure with a low impact on the natural environment. Furthermore, steel frame structures are also fire resistent, earthquake resistent and when used with concret will provide better sound proofing. Revive is a low-rise residential development and by employing steel frames we are building the homes with the same robustness and quality of a high-rise tower.

In difficult times like now, having a healthy mind is as equally important as wearing a mask during a pandemic. Our physical health and emotional health are intimately intertwined, so even if we are trying our best to protect and maintain our physical health, we shouldn’t forget to look after our mental health.
While most are still working remotely from home or not being able to see other family members and friends like pre-pandemic times, it is very easy for us to feel emotionally fragile and weakened. Therefore, we should take extra care of our mental health especially in the current situation. One easy and time efficient method that we can do to maintain our mind is to practice daily meditation. Studies show that even just a few minutes a day, meditating can give many benefits to the mind and the body. Some reported benefits include reducing stress and anxiety, enhancing self-awareness, improving focus and sleep, helping with pain control and decreasing blood pressure.
We strongly believe that Health and Wellness are crucial to living a happy and well-balanced life, so our principle is to build homes that improve one’s health and wellness.

Mineral water is full of minerals including sulphur, magnesium, and calcium which have health benefits. It can also help aid in digestion but it’s more expensive than tap water.
Spring or glacier waters are relatively clean and free of toxins. They also contain many of the same helpful minerals found in mineral water.
Distilled Water is boiled and the steam is collected and condensed back into a liquid.
Alkaline water has a higher pH level than normal tap water and contains alkaline minerals and negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP)Staying hydrated is vital as we need an average of 8 glasses or 2 litres of water a day to maintain good health.
