This single family residence in Vancouver was designed both as a home for our Clients, and as a demonstration suite for their sustainable home building and renovation company. The home is the first LEED® Platinum home certified by LEED® for Homes in Western Canada.

The design is a response to our Clients’ appreciation of modern architecture and desire for a flexible plan, accommodating entertaining, intimacy and the potential for a growing family. The goal was to create large integrated indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces without sacrificing a sense of domestic intimacy for the young couple. The interior-exterior relationships of the multiple outdoor patios and gardens are formed integrally within the architectural framework, so that the whole site becomes a cohesive living space.

The success of the built project was the result of a shared vision between the professionals involved: to develop a home that integrates strong design and high-end finishing with sustainable building practices, and conscious choice for energy reduction and environmentally preferable products.
