West Coast Modern
Houses For Sale & Sold in North Vancouver
West Coast Modern is a uniquely local style of mid-century modern architecture that emerged on the North Shore between the 1940s and 1970s. Defined by its simplicity, clean lines, and deep connection to the landscape, this style emphasizes natural materials like cedar, stone, and glass, with homes designed to harmonize with the forested terrain, ocean views, and dramatic topography of North and West Vancouver.
Typical features include:
- Post-and-beam construction with exposed timber
- Flat or low-sloped roofs that follow the contours of the site
- Expansive windows and skylights to bring in natural light
- Open floor plans that create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor living spaces
Many of these homes were designed by celebrated architects such as Fred Hollingsworth, Bob Lewis, Arthur Erickson, Ron Thom, Barry Downs, and Ned Pratt—visionaries who helped establish the North Shore as a centre of progressive residential design in Canada.
These iconic homes are increasingly rare, yet they remain highly sought after for their timeless design, livability, and architectural significance.
