Shaw House by Patkau Architects

A private residence of 285 square metres for a single person. The program includes living spaces, bedroom, study, music room, and a lap pool.

The site is a small waterfront property, 10 metres wide by 47 metres deep, looking across English Bay to the North Shore mountains which dominate the skyline of Vancouver. Required sideyard setbacks result in a plan which is limited to 8 metres in width.
