Located at the boundary between a residential zone and West Vancouver’s stony coast, the building form references creatures that occupy this territory—whose physiology has adapted to harsh external forces. In the same spirit, the house establishes itself in concrete, Accoya, and metal—materials that can endure the shore’s battering effects. Courtyards, cantilevered volumes, and extended landscaped surfaces dismantle boundaries between the built and the natural. Reflections and refractions of ever-changing environment evoke a feeling of being neither here nor there, but somewhere in between.
