Situated in West Vancouver, BC, the Nelson Residence embraces its lush surroundings. The property sits next to a rushing creek with headwaters from Cypress Mountain, creating a green corridor for wildlife. This natural feature not only provides scenic beauty but also offers privacy and cooling, thanks to its abundant vegetation.
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 irregular shape of the sites boundaries align with the edge of the house and culminate in a substantial blinder which provided privacy from adjacent properties.
The Rough House by Measured Architecture is a single family house and laneway project rooted in the hand-made. With a focus on the relationship of an architect with a boutique building + landscape team
The loft is organized around a new courtyard open to above, inserted into the heritage fabric of the building, allowing light into the centre of the very deep plan. All other interior elements are rendered crisply using precisely machined elements, conceived to stand in strong contrast to the rough heritage fabric of the existing shell.
