At 1,020 square feet, this two-bedroom bungalow is certainly not grand (especially by the requirements of its tony North Vancouver neighbourhood). however its modesty is much more than made up for with its richly developed spaces, crafted by one of Canada’s top designers — Ron Thom.
Thom, whose celebrated buildings include Toronto’s Massey college as well as the Shaw celebration Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake, developed this home in 1958, fairly early in his career. however the location shows his characteristic care. Every surface of the living space adds to the home’s distinct character, including the planked ceiling as well as deep red floors.
The clerestory window at the end of the galley kitchen area adds a sense of lightness to the little space.
The home’s popular white beams bring from the inside to the outside, making an architectural trellis over the patio in the rich backyard.
I picture living right here would be like living in a rustic-yet-refined cottage — the type of location your buddies would like to go to for long summertime barbeques as well as unwinded backyard beers. What do you think?
