This lakeside residence north of the border in Vancouver, British Columbia is contemporary Canadian architecture at its best! This stunning stone home design respects its environment, complementing it with stunning exterior walls of basalt that mimics the majestic mountains. Architect Fook Weng Chan created this luxury home design in layers – from its forested front yard, to a grand gate of curved glass, evergreens and stone which welcomes you into a Zen-like courtyard complete with a pool, water feature and total serenity. Interiors are warm and welcoming, with wood and glass walls at every turn. An open concept architecture puts the living area on the main floor, loosely divided into smaller spaces by the striking Douglas Fir columns. The mountain peaks are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, and a glacial-fed lake, edged with stone, stretches out at your feet. Overall, the home’s tone is that of understated luxury; it’s rustic, refined. Fook Weng Chan
