Composed of glazed volumes that shift past one another, the architectural massing resonates with the animated harbour views toward Vancouver. Dynamic efforts made explicit on the exterior are reflected spatially and materially at the interior. A subdued and moody exterior palette of custom coloured metal panels is accompanied by compatible wood and blackened steel panels in primary living spaces. An extensive working kitchen, for a client who is a skilled cook and baker, forms the heart of the house. Board-formed concrete and charcoal basalt add another layer of sophistication to the interior.
