This 45-ft-wide property on Vancouver’s Point Grey Rd already had a 17-ft-wide house on it when the client approached the architects. His request: renovate the complex, existing structure while adding a new extension with simple, open volumes.
Full House envisions a new way of living which benefits multiple generations and inspires progressive community values. The design concept was developed in response to the specific urban conditions of Vancouver
Our client, a family of four, wanted to root themselves in a long-established and charismatic neighbourhood on Vancouver’s east side. They asked Measured to design a home that while modern in scope and design, would still draw inspiration from the silhouettes of the houses around them
Sakinaw Lake House is situated on a platform carved from a steep rocky slope overlooking Sakinaw Lake. A carport located above the house serves as the point of arrival which leads to an outdoor stair descending down to the upper floor where the main entry is located.
Raven House is our before and after story about the resurrection of a beguiling old house. It’s also a tale of the mediation of a demanding host building and our client’s desire to tailor it in a manner that matched their sensibilities.
If there is a word to describe this house, it would not so much be “bold” or “restrained” but “detailed”. In Rift House, details are the very baseline of quality — perhaps the penultimate example of Measured’s mastery of this craft.
Set on the Malaspina Strait with a view of Texada Island, this one-level, private vacation retreat is situated on a waterfront acreage north of Gibsons.
Vancouver Courtyard House is a study in scale and proportion. The central three-sided courtyard serves to introduce light and air into the center of a relatively long and narrow floor plan, effectively introducing a third ‘middle yard’ to the otherwise typical front and rear yards.
