Gulf Islands House 1

Mayne Island, B.C.

Team:

CY Loh Structural Engineers

Design:

This house was designed to perch on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean. A strong indoor/outdoor connection allows natural light into all the interior spaces, and with careful window placement, all views are of the natural environment.

Site:

The site was kept in as natural a state as possible with all of the existing foreshore Arbutus trees being retained.
