Kitsilano Diversion (Khahtsahlano)
Vancouver, British Columbia (1997)

The home is designed to be in context with neighbourhood scale craftsman style homes in Vancouver's Kitsilano community and at the same time provide a distinct identity based on its unique location. The home takes advantage of its  prime corner location as well as views toward the North Shore mountains. 

References to buildings in the area include: covered verandahs, sharply sloping roof, bay windows, wood trim boards.  Exterior cladding is cedar siding. A large sloping roof with the main gable facing the main street is a dominant architectural feature.

The home is organized around a cross hall open plan. Other features include vaulted ceilings in all bedrooms, and extensive use of natural materials including wood, slate and log douglas fir posts.
