Sooke Beach House

Constructed 2019 - 2021

Sooke, BC

This family vacation home sits in a meadow on the shores of Sooke Bay. The plan is organized around sun, views and shelter from the prevailing wind. Living spaces open south to views of the ocean and north to a semi-enclosed courtyard that receives afternoon and evening sun. A private pavilion, containing a master suite and art gallery, is linked to the main house by a narrow entry hall. Spanning the two volumes is a lightweight timber roof that shelters a south-facing patio and collects rainwater for use in the courtyard garden.
