Shore House by Stanley Office of Architecture Perches on Kootenay Lake Slope
Shore House, a 570 m² family residence, has been finalized by Stanley Office of Architecture, situated on a steep, wooded slope bordering Kootenay Lake. Architect Matthew Stanley led the project, which employs deep foundations and cantilevered floors to adapt to the challenging landscape, extending over the surroundings. Nestled among towering firs and cedars, the residence offers a treehouse-like ambiance, with tree trunks gently swaying and light filtering through from the shimmering lake. The design captures the essence of an osprey gliding above the water. The project is set for completion in 2025. Photography is credited to Addison Rickaby, with curation by Hadir Al Koshta and graphics by Tobias Gray. The consulting team includes Highland Consulting, Ramm Custom Build, Juniper Engineering, GeoPacific Engineering, and Crowsnest Engineering, with materials sourced from various suppliers.
