Pavilion-Like Components

Cascading Waterfall

Expansive Dining Room
The dining room is downright massive, able to accommodate a huge dining table that can comfortably seat 12. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the area with natural light, while an custom-made glass chandelier hangs overhead.

A Holistic Process
“My approach, the way I approach most of my projects, is to look at them in a very holistic process,” the home’s architect, Garret Werner, told Western Living. “I look at architecture, interiors and landscape as one cohesive unit. And at the very beginning is the landscape – how to sculpt it and make sure the project is a part of the land.”
Resort-Like Feel
“The whole premise of this design is to feel like you’re living in a resort,” architect Garret Werner explained to Western Living.
Panoramic Views
Sliding glass walls throughout the home integrate the indoor and outdoor spaces, such as this seating area overlooking the pool and English Bay and the North Shore mountains beyond.
