With an impossible and futuristic design but also organic, this house is nestled on a cliff in the area of British Columbia, in Vancouver. Its particular design is a consequence of its adaptation to the difficult terrain the four trees that they were in it. The architecture studio of the young Iranian architect Mila Deshtiyaghi in charge of designing this family home set itself the challenge do not cut or move these trees from the site.
The consequence of this decision gives rise to a peculiar distribution, with plants at different levels that overlap each other and with a vertical body that connects them in which the ladder is located and that “flies” over the cliff.
The division of duties meets the needs of the double family house because this house is intended for the coexistence of parents with their son who, in turn, has a wife and children.
In this way, on the lower level of the house there is the access, the house of the son and his family, as well as a large patio as a result of respecting one of the original trees. On the intermediate level is the parents’ house and on the highest part, the leisure area that includes a great gym.
The architecture studio takes advantage of the privileged but difficult location to create a light structure with glass as the main wall, even on the ceiling.
Although if there is something very striking and spectacular in the house it is the spectacular transformation of some windows with upper opening that on good days can become suspended terraces, adding meters and vertigo views over the cliff.
A house that constitutes a new update of the organic architecture model, in which the spectacular nature is given by its natural adaptation to the terrain and that simply takes advantage of the advances of 2022, to open up to the maximum to the exterior.
