This traditional West Coast Shingle Style home occupies a high-bluff waterfront property in the White Rock area of Vancouver. The home was designed to maximize ocean views, while maintaining privacy from immediately adjacent neighbours. The program for this home resulted in the creation of both formal and informal living options to satisfy the clients’ desire to balance formal entertaining with casual living and work – all within a very open plan arrangement. The house showcases unique wood window and door products, as these are the nature of the owners’ primary business. The home includes curved glass corner windows featuring unique art glass and multiple curving dark walnut sliding doors that open onto large terraces. Soaring vaulted spaces, coffered ceilings and paneled walls create a warm, light-filled ambiance. Covered skylit terraces, open decks, an outdoor fireplace and a hot tub, and rolling lawns enhance the dramatic experience of living in this incredible ocean-bluff property.
