Located on a steep and technically challenging site in West Vancouver, the Sunset Residence is designed to capture immediate views of heavy marine traffic and the open sea to the west. The irregular shape of the sites boundaries align with the edge of the house and culminate in a substantial blinder which provided privacy from adjacent properties.

位于温哥华西部一处陡峭且技术上极具挑战性的景点上，这座日落式住宅的设计是为了捕捉到西面繁忙的海上交通和开阔的海洋景观。场地边界的不规则形状与房屋的边缘保持一致，最终形成了一个实质性的隐蔽性，为邻近的房产提供了隐私。

Movement through the house is choreographed to disguise considerable elevation change from street to the main living spaces. No individual stair run is greater than one-half story. This split level arrangement coupled with the consolidation of the upper floor to one side of the building allowed for generously tall main living spaces and a close connection between upper and main floors.

从街道到主要居住空间的相当大的海拔变化都是通过设计舞蹈来进行的。没有人比半层楼更能跑楼梯。这种平分层的安排，再加上将上层合并到建筑物的一侧，就可以腾出宽敞的主起居空间，并使上层和主层之间有密切的联系。

The client wanted a house that had an expression of craft and materiality. Heavily revealed board-formed concrete shows a soft wood grain texture and mimics the natural wood used throughout. Concrete at roof level creates the feeling that the space is solid and sculpted rather than assembled from a series of pieces. The opening created by this massive concrete frame generates a rudimentary connection to the sea and sky. Spaces feel simultaneously open and contained.

客户想要一座有工艺和重要性的房子。厚重的板状混凝土表现出柔软的木纹纹理，并模仿天然木材的使用。在屋顶水平的混凝土创造了一种感觉，空间是坚实的和雕塑，而不是由一系列的碎片组装。这个巨大的混凝土框架所创造的开口产生了与海洋和天空的基本联系。空间感觉既开放又包容。
