From the Agent: "Introducing Eppich House II, an iconic Arthur Erickson–designed family residence made from steel and glass extending out of its natural landscape. Timelessly designed in the ’80s, it is named after the family who originally commissioned, and have since restored this monumental piece of architecture. The 6,486-square-foot home has five bedrooms and features a lovely living area, dining room, sun-drenched outdoor pool, hot-tub, game room, and office. There is also a separate guesthouse, complete with a bar and full bathroom. A naturally fed reflection pond and small creek can be enjoyed as you explore the 1.183-acre lot. This might just be one of Arthur Erickson’s most unique homes ever built."
The curvaceous home’s facade is crafted primarily from glass and steel. Soaring trees pepper the large property, creating a peaceful oasis.
"What’s most striking about this home, beyond its captivating use of steel and glass, is its timeless, functional design," notes the agent.
Dita Sofkova, principal designer of Pulse Design Interiors, spearheaded the recent restoration. "This project represents a harmonious blend of heritage preservation and contemporary design, paying homage to Arthur Erickson’s visionary work while offering a comfortable and luxurious living experience for its future inhabitants," Sofkova explains.
Glass bricks stretch across the curved wall and up toward the ceiling, allowing plenty of warm sunlight to filter inside this bedroom with a built-in desk area.
Hugo and Brigitte Eppich originally commissioned the house, and they lived there until 2018. "I know anyone who buys this home will appreciate the space," notes Monica Feldman, one of the couple’s children. "It’s so beautifully laid out."
