CREATIVE EYE Shore House, North Shore, Vancouver Continued from previous page Yet the house has a remarkably spacious feel, the result of the near-open main floor. Light flows though skylights, high-wall windows and down a large light well in the centre of the house. “I’m a huge believer in natural light. We get a lot of rain here, a lot of grey days. In many long narrow houses, the interior can become quite dark if light cannot filter into the centre.” Following the awards and recognition associated with the Shore House, the duo went to work on other projects in Vancouver before Hoiles relocated his business to San Diego. Kerschbaumer continues a very successful and award-winning practice in Vancouver. ”What we did then has now largely become standard in the market,” observes Hoiles. All Photos: Steve Hoiles Mies Corner The inside corner detail, called a ‘Mies Corner’ (after architect Mies van der Rohe), is a salute to modern design. It separates the siding that uses two styles of western red cedar (beveled tight-knot on the left, clear no-knot on the right) from the vertical grain western hemlock used on the eaves. All are protected by natural water-based penetrating stains manufactured by CBR Products in Vancouver to accent the mosaic wood grains. 40 July/August 2015 www.canadiancontractor.ca
