Located on a steep and technically challenging site in West Vancouver, the Sunset Residence is designed to capture immediate views of heavy marine traffic and the open sea to the west.

The Cranley Drive Residence is a single story house that takes its cue directly from the topography as it climbs the sloping property in four large steps.

An area immortalized by the Group of Seven with rocky outcroppings populated by white pines shaped by the west winds, the structure respects the landscape by disappearing within it.
