ONE SEED Architecture + Interiors have designed a new house on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada, that’s perched atop a terraced outcrop of granite overlooking Garden Bay.
The house, influenced by nautical themes and materials, was built by the clients themselves over many years while they lived in a condo downtown Vancouver.
The multi-storey house features a butterfly roof, huge overhangs, clear hemlock soffits and ceilings that continue from inside to outside, wood cladding in a deep navy colour, and vertical galvanized corrugated steel siding.
Inside, there’s a small sitting area to the side of the front door, that has a shelving unit, a door to the front sun deck, and doors on either side of the shelf that lead to the laundry and the kitchen pantry.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the living room, where the fireplace is the focal point. Large windows provide ample natural light and a view of the water. Also on the main floor of the house is a guest room and a music room.
Off the living room is a deck with a glass railing. From the deck, it’s also easy to see the different types of siding used on the exterior of the house.
The light wood used on the ceiling has also been used to create an accent wall behind the bed, while wood bedside tables float on either side of the bed. Opposite the bed is a smaller wood accent wall that surrounds a television, and a sliding barn door hides the master bathroom.
