Because the majority of the bedrooms are on the lower levels,
the architects aligned the second floor so that the principal
spaces take in the best views.
The more public spaces — the living and dining areas — face
south, to Vancouver’s skyline. The more private areas — the
kitchen and the master suite — are nestled in the quiet of
the ravine. The best of both views is experienced on the full,
rooftop patio.
The stair access is positioned so that it isn’t visible to the
neighbours, creating the illusion of a completely flat roof. Once
up top, the homeowners will enjoy an uninterrupted survey of
their surroundings.
