From the Agent: "West Coast Modern presents the Peninsula House, a unique work by James K.M. Cheng, a central figure in the development of Vancouver’s crystalline skyline. Cheng’s commission for a young family of fashion professionals from Hong Kong provided the architect with an opportunity to explore a West Coast modernist idiom while paying tribute to his architectural hero, Louis Kahn. Situated within a sunlit forest clearing, the home overlooks nearly half an acre of city-owned parkland, graced by lush tree canopies and two natural waterways. With a nod to Kahn’s famous Esherick House, Cheng crafted this North Vancouver residence as a series of simple, cedar-clad volumes, prioritizing the remarkable spatial and luminous qualities of the interior through clear spatial planning and careful detailing. The home was also awarded Record House status in 1977 by Architectural Record."
Sporting a sleek gray facade, the cedar-clad home blends into its forest setting.
Expansive windows and glass doors span the living areas, creating a strong indoor/outdoor connection while drawing in ample natural light.
The kitchen is anchored by a large central island and features custom white cabinetry.
Large skylights line the mezzanine hallway overlooking the living room.
Icy blue tile provides a pop of color in one of the home’s four bathrooms.
