With our cities now so laughably unaffordable, thousands of British Columbians are stuck imagining wonderful homes instead of living in them. Spaced is a record of our minds wandering the world of architecture and design, up and away from the unrewarding realities of shoebox condos, dark basement suites, sweet f~ck all on Craigslist and three levels of government that couldn’t give a damn.

(via) I’ve been inside a few wine cellars over the years, but not once have I ever thought to myself, “I’d totally live in here.” That makes the one at Pacherhof a first. Located in the mountains of the Tyrol in Neustift-Vahrn, Italy, the 6,350 sqft building was designed by Bergmeisterwolf Architeckten and completed in 2018, with the majority of its structure underground. Granted, it’s a lot more space than my family could ever possibly need, but perhaps a wine storage side hustle would make it more affordable…
