In this episode, Arvin Haddad takes on a property in Whistler, Canada, with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. He dives headfirst into critiquing the contemporary design, tearing apart its lack of cohesion and questionable form over function choices. From the motor court to the blue corridor, every inch of the property is under his scrutinizing gaze. Arvin questions the architects' risky decision-making and the challenges faced during the build, especially focusing on the floating stairwell that seems to have left him unimpressed.
As he strides through the property, Arvin's sharp tongue doesn't hold back. He praises the grand foyer's bronze door frame but points out the missed mark in the dining room and kitchen, where warmth seems to have been traded for a cold, clinical aesthetic. The living room's towering fireplace catches his eye, but the indoor-outdoor flow and the can levered terraces fail to impress him, feeling more like a forced attempt at grandeur than genuine design finesse.
Arvin's critique doesn't stop there. He delves into the missed opportunities in the family area, where concrete floors clash with the desired warmth of a winter retreat. As he explores the inner courtyard inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, his skepticism shines through, questioning the design choices that may have sacrificed comfort for the sake of questionable artistic inspiration. In his signature style, Arvin leaves no stone unturned, delivering a no-holds-barred assessment of this Whistler property that will have viewers on the edge of their seats.
