Sunset house

Situated on a steep challenging site, this single family home was designed to capture views of the expansive harbour and heavy marine traffic along west coast line Vancouver. A natural, minimalist palate of raw concrete, steel, leather and wood creates a calm interior space that doesn’t distract from the framed ocean view beyond.

Designed by Mcleod Bovell The home has a cave-like feeling due to its predominant concrete construction, with carefully carved spaces that feel intimate yet expansive. Limited materiality creates a meditative and calming experience, with contrast between solid and soft elements throughout.
