Our Project Valdez Park

Situated on the West side of Vancouver this family home was formed to fit quietly within an established mixed neighbourhood.  Sitting on a gently sloping site with oblique downtown and mountain views, the house is designed to accentuate its indoor-outdoor living opportunities.  A spacious and efficient main floor encompasses the principle living accommodation all within one open, flowing space.  Private and public areas are still clearly defined, but without the need for internal walls.  Varying ceiling heights and floor levels help define 'room' use and the nature of individual spaces.

Exposed glue-lam beams on the raised living room ceiling help exaggerated the sense of space and add a material warmth to the room.  Large glazed bi-fold doors fold back fully to seamlessly transition the internal living space out into the garden.  A continuous longitudinal skylight is positioned at the head of the double height atrium, which, when combined with generous glazing to the North and South elevations of the open concept space, combines to provide a seamless visual transition to the garden and flood the main floor with natural light.
