Bowen Island residence / 2024
Bowen Island
A carefully crafted island residence combining expressive timber construction, deep rooflines, and a strong connection to its forested setting.
Its most important feature: the view
This river-front renovation and expansion reorients an established home toward its most important feature: the view. A generous new deck and covered outdoor living area extend the usable space of the residence while creating a comfortable transition between indoors and the riverbank.
Welcome shelter throughout changing seasons
Substantial timber posts support the broad roof canopy, giving the addition a strong architectural presence and providing welcome shelter throughout British Columbia’s changing seasons. Warm cedar decking, wood soffits, shingle detailing, and wood-framed windows.

A distinctly West Coast character
The result is a residence with a distinctly West Coast character: robust enough for its setting, refined in its details, and designed to feel at home among the trees.
