occasus

Nestled in the woods on the sloped shores of the Mamquam River, this house was designed with privacy and tranquility in mind. The owners, who work from home, wanted an office space that felt connected to both the main living areas and the beautiful surroundings. A 3-sided courtyard achieves this, while a west-coast interior palette of natural wood textures, heated concrete floors, and sliding glass walls ensures a similar connection to nature for the rest of the house. The separation between private and public spaces also makes the house perfect for entertaining guests, whether for an evening or a week-end.
