That’s right – “windowed.” Just look at it.
Seeing the home at 90 Isleview Place in Lions Bay – recently listed for $3.6 million – you can’t help but see into it. That’s because its fjord-facing side is almost entirely made of glass.
Designed by late, great Vancouver-based architect Peter Cardrew, and built in 1981, the cliffside home was inspired by modernist masterpiece The Douglas House in Harbor Spings, Mich.
The three-bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Lions Bay residence sits on an almost-quarter-acre lot. The 2,502-square-foot structure has undergone renovations completed this year.
The home was designed to be private facing the street, with near-unobstructed ocean views from the top two floors, overlooking Howe Sound.
Before his death in 2020, Cardew’s contributions to architecture were recognized by his peers, winning him a Governor General’s Medal in Architecture in 1982 for his False Creek Townhouses project, and a Gold Medal from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in 2012.
Dubbed an “architect’s architect,” works by Cardew and his firm Peter Cardew Architects include the Helen Belkin Art Gallery, 1500 West Georgia and Stone Band School in Chilcotin, B.C.
