Hilltop House: A Meditative Refuge on a Gulf Island
Perched on a steep, rocky incline on a Gulf Island in British Columbia, Hilltop House spans 3,166 ft² and was crafted by W O V E N Architecture and Design. Finished in 2023, its angular design conforms to the land's natural contours, providing a sanctuary for a client from Toronto seeking an escape from city life. The project was overseen by architect Julian Carnrite, with structural engineering by Skyline Engineering and general contracting handled by Coast Prestige Homes. Key manufacturers involved include Brizo, Fleetwood Windows and Doors, Infinity Surfaces, Kentwood Floors, Liteline, and Wolf/SubZero. Genevieve Graham captured the home's essence through photography. The architects characterize it as a reflection on light, landscape, and enduring design.
