Private Places
West Vancouver, BC
Client: Private
Completed 2007Site:
The dwelling is situated on a large bluff in West Vancouver. The house is approximately 165 ft above the shoreline.
Problem Statement:
The
existing dwelling is cut off from the ocean on this large waterfront
property. The client came to us to design a route down to the
shoreline, with a pool terrace at the bottom of the existing deck.
Design Solution:
Following
a thorough analysis of the existing site conditions, the pool terrace
was designed to be located on the flattest ground available on the
site.An exterior stairway was designed to work with the existing grades
coming off of the deck. The landings will be anchored to the rock face
with steel stringers suspended between the landings. The staircase is
approximately 40’ in elevation.
