This beautiful home sits across from Bowen Island in West Vancouver, in an exclusive neighbourhood next to Whytecliff Park. Client wanted a beautifully designed retaining wall and stairs to fit into the landscape. Stairs were built for water access. The boat house at the top will be equipped with all manner of amenities for après water sports, including a working shower.
Materials were a mix of original stone from the property plus Hardy Island and Pitt River granite. Stone terracing was required for waterfront patio and retaining wall features (flat natural stone pavers to be added later). Excess stone pinning was needed due to the sheer angle of the cliff, and an anti-hydro chemical was added to the concrete so water wouldn't penetrate it from the huge waves caused by BC ferries passing by. This project was made to stand the test of time and nature!
