Ocean Front Residence in West Vancouver: A culmination of the warm and cool

Designed by Grant + Sinclair Architects and featured on the prestigious Canadian ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN magazine, the ocean front residence steals your heart with a bundle of lovely contradictions. Apart from a fantastic view of the ocean through a retractable door that leads to the exterior pool, the pool itself gives the home a very relaxed and ultra-cool look. Then you step into the sumptuous interiors that exude cozy warmth with the usage of Beechwood floor and ceiling, Pennsylvania bluestone walls and excellent use of glass. Apart from the visual grandeur and the apparent aesthetics, the home also is highly energy efficient with a geothermal system, solar panels for energy, and rainwater harvesting system in place. Makes you a tad bit jealous of the lucky ones who call the Ocean Front Residence their home!

The use of three different colors of wallpapers with lovely prints not only accentuates the beauty of the home further, but clearly defines each given space.
