Pacific Northwest Regional Architecture

A modern Northwest house on Bainbridge Island, Washington.

The Seattle Times wrote an article about it (click here to read it)

The architect is Coates Design

Whittakers at Pender Harbour is a development of 25 oceanfront homes.

Designed by Still Point Architecture of Vancouver, BC

Vinterra is a development in South Surrey, BC

This architecture is a most welcome change from the ubiquitous poorly designed fake craftsman style that has been the status quo for housing developments over the past few years. More proof for my thinking that we might be in the early stages of a major change to a more modern West Coast style becoming popular.

Vinterra was designed by Gomberoff Bell Lyon Architects of Vancouver

Shevlin Reserve is a development of 12 townhouses in Bend, Oregon

Designed by Weinstein AU Architects of Seattle, Washington

The Shore is a new waterfront development in Tofino, BC

It’s hard to imagine a more appropriate location for West Coast architecture than Tofino, and thankfully, there are some amazing developments happening there.

Thanks to David for sharing this Whistler Creekside house with us.

One of the great things about post and beam framing is how it allows large open spaces, as well as large windows, which gives you plenty of natural light.

This house featuring modern Northwest Architecture can be found overlooking Willows Beach in Oak Bay, BC

It was built in 2004 and designed by D’Ambrosio Architects

This is a workshop in Kirkland, Washington that combines modern Northwest Architecture with a number of environmentally friendly features including the increasingly popular concept of a green roof.

Modern Pacific Northwest homes and businesses need modern furniture.
Woodstone Design’s Steven Pollock produces some amazing pieces that combine wood and polished concrete to create the ideal Northwest interior environment.

There’s a house under construction at 3570 Beach Drive in Oak Bay, BC.

I don’t know who the architect is, but so far I really like what I see.

I’m especially loving the post and beam timber framing that is going to allow huge windows which will give the residents views of Cadboro Bay.
