A Trilogy of Indulgence: Ste Marie Crafts Vancouver’s Most Refined Daily Ritual

Where residential luxury meets culinary sanctuary in three distinct acts


Vancouver, February 2026 — In the quieter corners of the city’s evolving core, something extraordinary unfolds. Ste Marie has orchestrated a triptych of hospitality experiences that blur the boundaries between private sanctuary and public gathering—a choreographed sequence of spaces where morning light gives way to evening intimacy, and every hour carries its own distinct mood.

Nestled within the foundation of a new residential tower, Olia and Mimi emerge as the latest vision from Corso 32 Group’s celebrated chef Daniel Costa. Yet to call them merely restaurants would be to miss their deeper purpose. These are venues designed for the art of living well—spaces that honor the rituals that punctuate our days, from the first pull of espresso to the final nightcap.

The architectural narrative is one of duality and connection. Residents glide in through discreet internal passages, while the neighborhood is invited through street-facing thresholds that promise discovery. Each venue possesses its own character, its own temporal identity—morning energy transitions to midday ease, then evening sophistication, before softening into the velvet hours of late night.

What Ste Marie has achieved here transcends conventional hospitality design. The ground floor becomes a living threshold, neither entirely public nor wholly private, but rather a curated daily experience that extends the comforts of home while embracing the energy of urban life. It is luxury not as spectacle, but as seamless integration—where good design, exceptional cuisine, and thoughtful programming converge into something approaching effortless.

This is hospitality reimagined for those who understand that true luxury lies not in grandeur, but in the perfection of everyday moments, elevated. https://www.stemariestudio.com/
