The site benefits from remarkable distant views to the ocean, and the design responds to capitalize on this feature from all the units. The design provides a bold contemporary solution for this prominent site. Large expanses of glass bring the outdoors inside as well as opening to ocean views from all principle rooms of the units. Bold ‘folded’ roofs protect this glazing from sun and rain and give the massing a striking silhouette and sculptural expression. A strong vertical rhythm of massing gives each unit its own identity, and breaks down the massing and bulk into smaller more domestically scaled forms. Quality authentic materials in natural earth tones are employed to reinforce the Westcoast landscape beyond. The project is grounded to its site on a concrete plinth. Warmth and domesticity is provided in the use of wood siding, and metallic standing seam gun- metal grey clads the bold roof forms which wraps down vertically onto façade elements. Custom metal filigree accents are created with detail elements, such as solar screens, canopies, and railings.
