Layouts that adapt with you

Whether you're starting out or settling in, Templeton offers a range of home sizes and layouts designed around real life. Flex spaces give you room to work from home, tuck things away, or make space for kids, and the option to live across 1, 2, or 3 floors lets you choose what fits your routine now, and later.

Made to live in

The best design doesn't ask for attention. It simply makes day-to-day life easier. Light, flow, and storage are handled with intention, with a quieter, more even comfort you feel throughout the seasons, not just notice once.

Templeton living room

Where function meets finish

It's built for the moments that actually fill a home: quick breakfasts, weeknight dinners, and friends dropping by. Quality appliances and Moen fixtures add a quiet level of finish, with materials and light that stay easy on the eyes and easy to keep up with.

Kitchen island

Effortless, on purpose

Soothe the eyes with simplicity while the details do the work. Floating quartz vanities, frameless glass showers, and clean, recessed lighting create something calm and composed, easy to live with.

The neighbourhood

This is a family-friendly pocket of East Vancouver near Commercial Drive, Hastings, and the Nanaimo St corridor. You're well-served by nearby schools and family amenities, parks, and everyday essentials, with tree-lined streets that keep daily life calm and simple. Local favourites like Columbus Meat Market and To Live For Bakery are within a short walk, but the real draw is how easy it is to settle into a routine here.

SkyTrain transit

This pocket of city living isn't about density. It's about access and atmosphere. Community spaces and rapid transit are close by, so the rest of the city stays within easy reach. And day to day, it's the mix of parks, local stops, and lived-in character that makes this area feel unmistakably Vancouver.

High performance passive homes

Passive house methodology originated in Germany and Austria as an engineering building standard. The focus is on building comfortable, affordable homes while saving up to 90% in heating costs and lowering our carbon footprint. Over 60,000 passive homes have been built worldwide.

DIMEX has embraced this new way of construction and has chosen to lead this industry into the future and be in the forefront of construction by offering homes where physics and thermodynamics is applied to every component of the exterior envelope; to minimize heat loss while continuously providing fresh filtered air to create a healthy breathing and living environment.

Five principles of Passive House

01

Super insulated walls

  • 6 inches of additional insulation maintains even temperature throughout the home while providing a comfortable living environment regardless of the outside temperature.
  • Eliminates drafts within the home and minimizes heat loss by up to 90%, thereby reducing heating costs by up to 90%.
02

Triple-glazed tilt-and-turn windows and doors

  • Passive House window frames are insulated. Tilt and turn mechanism allows the window to open from the top as well as from the side.
  • Interior side opening mechanism allows for easy cleaning.
  • Top tilt mechanism allows the window to bring in fresh air while keeping your pets and children safe from accidental falls.
  • Triple glazing with insulated frames further reduces heat loss, drafts and provides protection from outside noise.
03

Fresh air system with heat recovery

  • Improves air quality within your home by pushing out stale air and providing fresh air 24 hours a day, 7 days a week which circulates through the entire home.
  • Will transfer the heat from the outgoing air to the incoming fresh air to maintain the temperature of your home and continued savings in heating costs.
  • Provides a healthy breathing environment.
04

Airtight construction

  • Resiliency is built in and Passive House homes will remain warm even when there is a power failure.
  • Future Proof allowing the home to be net zero ready.
05

Thermal bridge free continuous insulation

  • Does not allow for cold spots that would support mold growth thereby providing a healthier living environment.
  • Eliminates drafts and continues to maintain an even temperature throughout your home while saving on heating costs.
