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
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.
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.
The Collingwood Family Home is a unique local collaboration between an established practice and an emerging studio to create a living accommodation that is responsive and personal.

This triangular courtyard house sits at the foot of a granite cliff below a railway line in a densely forested area of West Vancouver.
