Point Gray Residence是一个独特的住宅装修项目，将景观、建筑、雕塑和现场整合成一个无缝的整体。 这些绿色屋顶提供的绝缘有助于下列地热加热家庭和水池的能源效率，增加了向当地能源网添加的剩余清洁能源。为了降低现场使用的石材的环境和社会成本，所有的项目石材都在北美采石场。 LED照明和滴灌进一步促进了现场能源和水的利用效率。
视野中的自然视野反映在风化钢，石头，水和玻璃的线性形式中。材料调色板在周边的西海岸海域景观中得到了很好的保护，通过纹理变化和细节的关注得到丰富。景观与海洋无缝融合，被加拿大的石灰石加强，通过露台和泳池楼梯形成连续的表面。
The Point Grey Residence is a unique residential renovation project uniting landscape, architecture, sculptures and site into a seamless whole. Much of the program was deliberately located below grade, under extensive, low maintenance green roofs. These extensive plantings increased the planted area in the rear yard by over 200% from what would have otherwise not been possible. Insulation provided by these green roofs contributes to the energy efficiency of the geothermally heated home and pool below, increasing the amount of surplus clean energy that is added to the local energy grid. To reduce the environmental and social costs of the stone used on site, all the project stone was quarried in North America. LED lighting and drip irrigation further contribute to ongoing site energy and water use efficiency.
The architecture and landscape were developed in tandem to eliminate the programmatic definition between adjacent interior and exterior areas. Moving through the terraced site, architectural and landscape spaces are drawn into one another continuing across ‘traditional’ threshold transition points. This common programmatic and experiential vision was defined early in the project and facilitated via frequent collaborative interdisciplinary design meetings. Site constraints such as existing driveway ramp were taken as opportunities to transform the spaces into landscape elements like cascading water features and art installations.
Natural horizons in the field of view are reflected in linear forms of weathering steel, stone, water and glass. The material palette is soundly anchored within the surrounding west coast maritime landscape and is enriched through textural variation and attention to detail. The landscape blends seamlessly with the ocean beyond and is enhanced by the Canadian limestone that forms a continuous surface through the terrace and pool stairs.
