FALLING HOUSE, DENMAN ISLAND

Inspired by the client’s childhood in Jerusalem and the ceremonial temples there, this building processes slowly down the hillside towards the Sound. Organised along a grand central axis, the activities and rooms of the house spill out to each side.

Builder: Luc Trépanier & Barton Goddard
