Stunning. An absolutely essential Gulf Islands experience. House very well designed in a west coast / Frank Lloyd Wright style and carefully situated on a high bluff amid a grove of mature arbutus. The entry way features the low pitched roof and simple geometry of a Japanese home, transitioning into a jaw dropping two storey fully glazed 180 view of the channel between Salt Spring and North Pender islands.
We were a party of five adults and two very young children. The young family found the lower level quite ideal - a self contained suite with a tiny bedroom for the 4-year old, a generous bathroom for bathing the baby, and a huge master bedroom for the exhausted parents. The grandparents meanwhile could solve the world’s problems upstairs in the magnificence of the sea and sky and twisting arbutus without disturbing the bedtime routines.
We are already planning to return!
