The Architecture Foundation of British Columbia (AFBC) is hosting a cocktail party to start the Design Vancouver Festival off right! Join us for LEMON DROP, an evening unveiling the winning design of the AFBC's LEMONADE STAND design competition.

Holding a public design competition and enthusiastically participating in the rebranded Design Vancouver Festival fulfils an AFBC mandate to raise awareness about the value of design in the built environment through programming and advocacy.

The 40 submissions the AFBC received were playful, inventive, thoughtful and fun! The winning entry was jury selected based on its uniqueness, level of interactivity, and its consideration of budget and lifecycle.

The winning design, a mobile bar and seating area, will be built by local Vancouver custom furniture builders, Humble Object, with materials supplied by Kerrisdale Lumber and sponsored by Pacific Art Stone. Drinks will be served all evening, including the feature cocktail, Duchess Cocktail’s Lemon Drop Martini. Small bites will be served, thanks to Fisher & Paykel, who will be showcasing their outdoor kitchen and featuring a guest chef.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
