Set into a forested bench above Howe Sound, this high-performance custom single-family home is as a private, quiet, enduring presence in the landscape. Clad in weathering corten steel and architectural concrete, the architecture balances resilience, permanence, and warmth, allowing the materials to age naturally within the coastal environment. Carefully oriented openings frame expansive views toward Howe Sound and Anvil Island while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding forest, and private creek creating a refined retreat defined by craft, efficiency, and a deep response to place.
