Valley View House, Canada
Perched on the edge of a large urban greenspace, Valley View was designed around the incredible vista offered by its unique lot. An interplay between public and private space, it integrates the adjacent park while limiting sightlines into the home.
Valley View is comprised of two architectural volumes that enclose an intimate outdoor courtyard, steps up from the greenspace and hidden by the natural landscape of the park itself.
Intersecting the main mass of the home is a single storey block that allows south light to reach the courtyard; atop it sits an expansive rooftop terrace, high above the pedestrian traffic below. A smaller mass at the front of the home houses a powder room and closet away from the main entertaining spaces, blocking views of the home’s living areas from the street.
Traffic flows between indoor and outdoor living spaces along primary and secondary corridors. Guest quarters and public spaces of the home are located away from home offices and the private owners’ suite. Rooms are organized around a sculptural, glass-enclosed floating staircase, topped by a custom 8’ x 12’ skylight that filters light through to the basement landing. From almost every room in the home, expansive walls of glass open to the landscape beyond and give a sense of living within the park itself.
