Shoreline

Cedar, Steel, and Salt Air

The Perch — Sunshine Coast

Cantilevered Over Granite Shoreline

A building shaped entirely by its relationship to the site.

Architect: Michel Laflamme  |  Builder: Summerhill Fine Homes
The Perch exteriorLate afternoon side light. The cantilever reads as a shadow line against the rock.
The Perch fireplaceOne-point perspective. The corridor pulls you through to the Pacific.
The Perch kitchenOvercast sky softening everything. The fireplace floating, the firs framed, the water audible.
The Perch aerialBlue hour. Fire pit on granite, interior glowing warm. The shot that justifies staying late.
Tranquil Retreat — Sandy Hook

Corrugated Steel Against Tidal Forest

The material palette was selected to converge with the site over time, not resist it.

Designer: Rob Milstead  |  Builder: Summerhill Fine Homes
Tranquil Retreat exteriorEntry compression. Dark steel overhead, then the eye releases straight through to green.
Tranquil Retreat forestGolden hour through the canopy. Steel, cedar, glass converging at the corner.

Net Zero Build — Whistler

Sustainable Architecture at Its Most Ambitious

Bold form and purposeful material choices against Whistler's dramatic mountain backdrop.

Builder: Peak Ventures  |  Interiors: Gnar Interior Design
Net Zero exteriorStone pilaster catching dappled light through the evergreens. The building already belongs.
Net Zero interiorRear elevation through young birch. The full scale of the facade reads at this distance.
Net Zero siteStraight down. Solar array, garden clearing, canopy edge. Performance visible from above.

I don't photograph buildings. I photograph the decisions that shaped them — why this cladding, why that angle on the slope, why the window meets the horizon exactly where it does. The architect spent months getting it right. The photography should make that obvious in a single frame.

Dark Timber, Shifting Light

Warbler Residence — Whistler

Blackened Timber, Autumn Larch

In autumn, surrounding larch turns gold and reveals the full silhouette without intervention.

Fitzsimmons Residence — Whistler

Angular Form, Material Contrast

The contrast between dark cladding and white ground is at its most graphic in winter.

Sugarloaf Residence — Pemberton

Framing Mount Currie

At twilight, interior light turns the glazing into a series of lanterns against the mountain.

Architect: STARK Architecture  |  Builder: Balmoral Construction  |  Interiors: Britt Lothrop  |  Millwork: Blueprint
Sugarloaf Mount CurrieGolden hour on Mount Currie. The house in shadow, the peak in direct light. Timing.
Sugarloaf interiorThe painting holds its own against Mount Currie. Dark stone, warm oak, deliberate colour.

Timber, Stone, and Warm Light

Balsam Way — Whistler

A Classic Whistler Home, Renewed

The character of the original timber, feeling completely current.

Builder: Tymac Construction  |  Interiors: LRD Studio
Balsam Way interiorWhitewashed fir, soft light, sheepskin. The warmth starts before you cross the threshold.
Balsam Way timberZellige tile, blonde oak, black pendants. Colour without competition.
Balsam Way kitchenSkylight centred perfectly. Natural light falling straight down the millwork. Quiet precision.
Fraser Valley Vista — Langley

Suburban Scale, Refined Detail

Set high on an escarpment overlooking farmland and the coastal mountains.

Architect: Sitelines Architecture

SDA BC & Yukon Headquarters — Abbotsford

Institutional Timber and Glass

Institutional design that feels warm without sacrificing rigour.

Brown's Residence — Roberts Creek

Board-Formed Concrete and Rain

Flat coastal light reveals every ridge and imperfection.

Architect: Hazel+Brown

Gambier Island Residence

Accessed Only by Water

The structure follows the natural clearing rather than imposing one.

Designer: Linwood Homes  |  Builder: Black Thumb Contracting
Gambier clearingAerial over Howe Sound. The house is a single line in the canopy. Everything arrived by water.
