Sheared House

Project profile

The clients envisioned a three story house perched on a steep site with views of the city of Vancouver, Burrard Inlet, Stanley Park and the Lions Gate Bridge from every floor. Animated by the lights of the city, the continual passage boats in the harbour, and the ebb and flow of bridge traffic, the clients were attracted to the energy and industry of the location and wished for a house that would reflect it's dynamic display. They wanted to experience a room that floated above the landscape with sense of weightlessness and suspension like the bridge and uninterrupted panoramic views for all sides. To achieve this, the design solution involved a creative approach to the structural design which resulted in the fracturing or shearing of primary North and South elevations of the house.
