Architects McLeod Bovell Modern Houses have scored yet another win with their stunning Eaves House located in West Vancouver, Canada. With 8,502ft² of living space, this modern piece of architecture is a sight to behold for anyone who loves contemporary design.
The home is situated at the interface between a residential neighborhood below and an undeveloped forested ravine above, providing breathtaking views of the English Bay, the Vancouver skyline, and the Stanley Park peninsula. The asymmetrical shape of the long and narrow cross-pitched plot adds to the unique aesthetic of the property.
The hovering concrete plinth on the main floor, located beneath two broad eaves, is the main design feature of Eaves House. It forms a new “ground” in the air, which provides privacy by masking the road and windows of adjacent houses below. The plinth also hides a large auto court on the basement floor.
From front to back, Eaves House offers an impressive unfolding cinematic experience when moving between the different areas of the home. The property is primarily viewed as a pair of floating planes, with an enhanced visual field created between the eaves that can be enjoyed both inside and out, drawing the eye beyond the immediate neighborhood.
Eaves House is a perfect example of how modern architecture can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. With its stunning design and breathtaking views, this home is sure to appeal to anyone who loves contemporary design.
