This Park Side condo is designed to capture as much natural light and tremendous views as possible. Architects managed to relocate the kitchen into its center to establish a spatial hierarchy and delineation between public and private spaces. Framed views over Stanley Park and English Bay, along the west elevation, are created through ‘corridors’ established by the structural concrete columns. Crisp detailing and a clean material palate enhance the spatial order and unify the spaces. Thanks to the new kitchen public spaces are united in one to achieve more free space and comfort. Materials used in interior are not only clean but also quite interesting and even beautiful in their simplicity. [Tyler Engle Architects]
