Arno Matis Architecture together with RUFproject have completed therenovation of a house in Vancouver, Canada, that features exterior timber slats that wrap around the outside of the home.
The timber slats provide shade and privacy to the large windows, and are mounted to a minimal steel frame thatrsquo;s suspended from the roof.
Stone steps, a water feature, and awood door with large wood-framed windows welcomes you to the home, whileinside, white walls and colorful artwork fill the foyer.
Just off the foyer is the formal living room with a large see-through fireplace. The rooms of the home flow from one to another with sliding doors enabling the interior to be opened to the outdoor landscaping.
Around the corner from the living room is the dining room and kitchen, where white marble surfaces have been combined with dark wood cabinetry to create a warm modern appearance.
Just off the kitchen is a quiet and peaceful oasis where influences from the clients travels to Bali and Thailand can be seen with a water feature, statues, and bamboo.
Beside the private lounge is the master ensuite bathroom. In the small hallway, therersquo;s access to the toilet and laundry, while in the spacious bathroom therersquo;s a standalone bathtub, double vanity and a large glass-enclosed shower with rainfall shower head.
