Item from Ian: What would the 'Great Canadian House' be like?

.

Interesting project from Sweden – essentially a crowdsourced house ‘designed’ by two million Swedes. It would be interesting to see how similar/different the Canadian version, or more specifically the West Coast version might be.
From gizmag: Two Million Swedes helped design this house.

Stockholm-based Tham & Videgård (of wooden high-rise fame) took an unusual approach while aiming to design a house that could be all things to all people. The firm analyzed data created by roughly 2 million Swedes – or 20 percent of the country’s population – to design what’s billed as a new type of democratic architecture.
