expression The west half is a single, irregular post and beam space with a wood and glass wall that allows the forest to flow into the living spaces. The floor is cool clay tile and a seating alcove is plastered. The east half, has a board and batten exterior with small punched windows and is finished inside with drywall and wood floors. This is the part of the house to retreat to at the end of the day or in which to find a corner to curl up in with a book.
found materials Over the period of construction the clients attended many demolition sales in Vancouver to acquire many of the finishing materials, wood floors and plumbing fixtures in the house. All the doors, except the kitchen and dining room, are recycled or were hand crafted on site. Accent wood finishes are hand fashioned from the arbutus trees or firs on site.
