This contemporary two storey single family residence in Vancouver’s Riley Park neighbourhood is composed as a bold gable volume wrapped in a crisp metal fascia and warm vertical wood cladding, set over a dark, grounded lower level with expansive black framed glazing. Designed to respond to the sloping site, the home steps down to a front entry sequence of cast in place concrete terraces and integrated stair lighting, while an attached front facing garage is recessed at the basement level alongside a secondary suite that benefits from generous windows for improved daylight and livability.
