Special Projects Jones and Co. Interior Design in partnership with Susan Maclaren Interior Design was selected as one of eight design teams to be featured in the At Home In The City Project in 1998. This was a joint fund raising project of the Interior Designers Institute of B.C. (IDIBC), and the Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA). Each of eight design teams were given an opportunity to showcase their work by designing a 1400 sq. ft. townhome located in the heart of Vancouver. These showsuites were open to the public and proceeds raised from the event were given to the CDA's summer camp for kids program, and the IDIBC.

The showsuite was unique in that it featured a contemporary look that was warm and inviting with distinctive splashes of bold color in the artwork and furnishings. A fireplace of stacked river rock with a concrete hearth embedded with pebbles, found on a west coast beach, captured the essence of the west coast, and provided the focal point for the open living spaces around it. photo by Ed White Photography
