Inside A Classic Post-And-Beam Nestled Among The Treetops

Via West Coast Modern | High above West Vancouver’s verdant slopes, a private forest haven known as Bird’s Nest Residence has been placed on the market. The 1958 2,776 sqft post-and-beam home showcases our region’s West Coast vernacular with its striking roofline and meticulous timberwork.

Oriented westwards, the house perches atop a rocky outcropping surrounded by swathes of lush greenery through which a private trail directly connects to a network of local hiking trails. Inside, a clever inversion of the floor plan elevates living areas to the upper floor where they are flooded with natural light.

French doors open to an expansive wraparound deck, overseeing sweeping treetop vistas that stretch towards Howe Sound and reinforce a serene grandeur and isolation.
