When we make decisions on houses, we might think on resale value, whether it makes sense for others and whatever. That Whistler home had one thing in mind, lawn in the middle and it was willing to sacrifice on a lot of things for it. But they did it anyway.
And TBH, for clientele in that kind of category, it's all about finding another person who can resonate the same idea. Of course, if they built it with the idea to sell, that was very stupid. But for something they wanted to own, it made a lot of sense to forgo everything just that one thing he wanted.

I feel that's what he's saying though. He talks about the trade off. If you focus on the lawn, that's great, but there will be sacrifices.
But you're right, you can do whatever you like if you have the money, but you're probably not going to get the return you want if you want to resell, like you said.
One of these days (Maybe 10-15 years) I'll be able to build my own house on a standard Vancouver lot, but because the space is so small (33x120ft) I don't think there is much room to make it a wow type of house, without sacrificing efficiency. I haven't seen a wow new build on a standard lot in Vancouver, I wonder If that even exists.
