High on the slopes of North Vancouver this south facing modernist inspired home has abundant natural light, simple massing and clear structural expression. The house is angled on the site to capture the best solar aspect and the “wing-like” deck (thrust out on diagonal struts) creates a fabulous outdoor entertaining area with City views. Interior and exterior spaces flow easily together and an open central stair takes you down to the garden level of the home. The house blends cutting-edge environmental design with clean contemporary lines and a simple palette of materials. This chic contemporary design is the 2021 Winner of the ‘CHBA National Net Zero Home’ in Canada. Simply put – it generates more energy that it uses! This starts with the orientation and massing, solar studies and careful attention to the building envelope through analysis. Add to this : rooftop photovoltaic panels, heat recovery, high thermal resistance, energy efficient appliances and high performance windows. The roof of the house has a glamourous “sky terrace” and an impressive array of solar panels.
