Private Places
West Vancouver, BC
Client: Private
Completed 2004Site:
The
existing site had a natural character to the north and opened up onto
the Burrard Inlet with an existing seawall. The existing dwelling was
demolished to make way for this contemporary house with Mediterranean
infl uences.
Problem Statement:
To
create usable outdoor spaces adjacent to the dwellings that relate to
the character of the site. These spaces must be accessible and flow
into each other.
Design Solution:
Three
distinct zones were created on the property. The character of these
zones are: natural in the northern zone, contemporary Mediterranean
around the dwelling and seaside along the waterfront with open views to
Vancouver across the water.
