ORCHARD
2020 - ongoing
This contemporary home is sliced into a hillside above the mighty Fraser River at the edge of Chilliwack, British Columbia. Following the contours of the steeply-sloping site, the home employs dramatic angles and walls of glass to make the most of stunning views to the west.
An angular roof punctured by triangular skylights hovers over a simple, open floor plan designed to extend the view experience across as much of the program as possible. Sheltered outdoor living space and a grand entrance area are created by a carefully articulated façade of glass and natural cedar.
