Harbour Centre Christmas Ornament

$27.50

If there’s one silhouette that defines Vancouver’s skyline, it’s the Harbour Centre. This iconic landmark has been a constant in our city’s landscape since 1977, anchoring downtown with its bold, sleek, futuristic style.

My Harbour Centre Christmas ornament design pays homage to this beloved skyscraper. It captures Harbour Centre’s unique features: the towering Modernist office building, the unforgettable UFO-like observation deck, and two exterior glass elevators that let you take in the sights on the way up.

But I wanted to elevate this concrete giant a little, too—adding a touch of glamour with a hand-painted matte gold finish surrounding glossy silver windows. Picture the glow of a sunset reflecting warmly across its façade, turning a cool concrete silhouette into something that feels just right for the holiday season. The red elevators are a nod to their ‘80s colour, plus they echo the Canadian flag waving in the breeze at the top and add a bit of festive cheer.

The top of the ornament is made using resin to capture the fine details of the observation deck. To enable the bottom to be more easily mouthblown in glass, I simplified the base and had my production partner use CAD technology to create a uniform debossed effect for the windows. The result? The ornament maintains its iconic profile while the windows create a subtle sparkle, reflecting the lights on your Christmas tree beautifully.
