Iconic Mid-Century Modern House In Forest With Pool

A masterpiece of West Coast modernism, this iconic residence seamlessly blends architecture with nature, perched atop a rugged bedrock landscape in one of West Vancouver’s most exclusive enclaves. Designed by renowned architect Dan White, the home draws inspiration from Japanese aesthetics, offering a striking balance of clean lines, natural materials, and open-concept living. Spanning three levels beneath a sweeping, low-pitched hip roof, the 4,000-square-foot interior is defined by soaring vaulted ceilings, walls of glass, and exquisitely restored mid-century modern details. Exposed cedar beams, a floating staircase, and a commanding two-sided stone fireplace enhance the home’s architectural integrity, while the expansive living spaces flow effortlessly into private courtyards and outdoor lounges. Set on over half an acre, this estate offers unparalleled privacy and breathtaking partial ocean views. Designed for both serene retreat and refined entertaining, the home features four private bedrooms, including a tranquil primary suite with its own sitting lounge and fireplace, alongside a newly remodeled ensuite with a stone soaker tub and rain shower. A media room, separate office, and spacious recreation room cater to both work and leisure, while a built-in Sonos speaker system provides an immersive audio experience throughout. Recent designer updates in 2025 ensure that every space reflects the home’s distinctive mid-century Japanese aesthetic. Outdoors, the residence is a sanctuary of natural beauty and modern luxury. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame lush landscaping and a vibrant living roof, while extensive decks and terraces extend the living space into the elements. A heated outdoor pool and spa, an al fresco summer kitchen with a walk-up bar and eclipse serving window, and a cedar outdoor shower create an unparalleled setting for relaxation. In winter, the surrounding trees draped in snow transform the estate into a serene mountain retreat and create the illusion of living in a snow globe. Located only 15 minutes from downtown Vancouver, this architectural gem offers a rare opportunity to experience the perfect fusion of natural beauty and timeless design.
