Cortez Crescent

The design for Cortez Crescent was inspired by the natural surroundings of Grouse Mountain and the owners dynamic way of living.  A balanced combination between Scandinavian aesthetics and the family‘s west coast lifestyle requirements dictated space planning as well as the selection of the interior finishes. This resulted in open spaces dressed with a selection of natural, calm and inviting materials. In addition, a series of windows and skylights were modified and added to the house to flood the interiors with natural light and maximize views of the natural landscape around it.

A balanced combination of contrasting and natural elements merge to create a Scandinavian and West Coast aesthetic for this home.

A series of windows and skylights were modified and added to the house to flood the interiors with natural light and maximize views of the natural landscape around it.

Minimal and elegant, this family room gains an identity and a welcoming atmosphere with high contrast finishes including the woodwork. The perfect place to spend cosy mornings and evenings watching a classic movie.

The master bathroom is composed of natural and minimal materials which is emphasized by the abundant light penetrating the windows.

White oak in a horizontal grain on the vanity maintains the home’s Scandinavian feel while the double sinks keep the space functional.
