A 9,000-square-foot waterfront residence on Howe Sound, designed in Westcoast Contemporary style with heavy timber post-and-beam construction and views to the water from every room
The brief
Located up the Howe Sound along BC’s coastline, where land meets water. This 9,000-square-foot private residence offers Westcoast Contemporary architectural styling from the very start with a striking dialogue of subtlety and strength. The arched roof at the entrance of the home provides an instantly engaging entry point as it canopies the walkway bridge that crosses a pond to the front door. The structure components of the home are made up of heavy timber post and beam super structure in combination with western framing. The duality of the home is demonstrated through its L-shape structure, allow- ing the backside of the property to telescope outwards the Howe Sound giving every single room a stunning view.
