- CANADIAN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN: The House on Sentinel Hill: “Don’t tell me the square footage you want to build,” the award-winning architect responded. “Tell me what your dreams are.”
- DURHAM TRADE AND COMMERCE: Seaton -- Genesis of a green community: Imagine living in a community where your energy-efficient home converts solar energy into hot water and heat; where your car, if you own one, remains in the garage, because it’s easier to walk, bike or take a bus to your destination.
- LUXURY HOMES: A Rich Shade of Green: Local legend says the steep slope was Toronto Ski Club’s first ski hill. In the late 1800’s, skiers started uphill at the Eaton cottage and schussed through the formal gardens, right down to High Park’s Wendigo Creek.

- TORONTO SUN: You had me at 'Hello': Long before a soaring condominium kisses the sky, years before its posh aeries overlook the city lights, even before a shovel breaks the earth, developers and designers ponder how to help potential buyers see, feel and touch the high-rise lifestyle they’ll be purchasing. That first peek at a new GTA condo usually comes in a sales office. So how do some of Toronto’s premiere designers translate their vision from paper to reality?
- TORONTO SUN:The colour of savings -- Going green at Mattamy's Hawthorne Village: The goal is to build an ecologically-conscious community of Green Initiative Homes, a community where man’s footprint falls less heavily on the earth.
