East Vancouver Eco-Home

Our East Vancouver Eco Home project brought together architecture, construction, and landscape —an unusual scope for a landscape design studio, and one we really enjoyed.

Working within a fixed building footprint and tight site constraints, the home was designed to be efficient, low-impact, and carefully detailed. An insulated slab-on-grade foundation was polished and used as the finished interior floor, while reclaimed fir beams and floorboards bring warmth to the vaulted ceiling and loft. A separated bath and laundry building helps keep the main living space compact, functional, and light-filled.

Outside, the garden was shaped as a private outdoor room—quiet, enclosed, and intentionally simple—extending the living space beyond the walls while maintaining a sense of privacy from the lane and neighbouring properties.

A small footprint, thoughtfully considered—inside and out.
