Embracing the ocean

Epic views of the Burrard Inlet punctuate every room in FNDA Architecture’s celebration of West Vancouver modernism. Light wood panels, doors and flooring emphasise strong geometries from floor to ceiling, making space for the owners’ colourful art collection. Warm upholstery and textiles, like linen and faux fur, ground double-height volumes of daylight.

A delicate colour palette inspired by bleached driftwood and pebbles, matched with restrained furniture designs and minimalist window treatments, allows each room to frame the natural beauty beyond the glass. Boldly dark accessories offer a solid counterpoint to the overall weightlessness in a space that seems to hover effortlessly over the ocean.
