This country house is located in British Columbia (Canada). The region is famous for its mountain ranges, beautiful views and virtually untouched nature. On the slope of one of the mountains, overlooking the valley of the mountain village of Whistler, the Hadaway House was built.
The site was chosen complex, wedge-shaped. But in the end, the architects managed to find a place for the narrow entrance to the house, located at the top of the slope, and even for the garage, which is located not far from it..
The original shape of the roof is due to the fact that it was necessary to provide for the need to dump snow, which falls a lot in this part of Canada. Moreover, it was important to ensure the discharge of snow exactly in certain places on the site.
On the main level of the house, there is a single space with kitchen, dining, living areas and an outdoor terrace. The bridge shown in the last photo connects the study and the bedroom, this is the highest level.
The lower level houses a second living area, guest bedrooms and a service room. There is a direct exit from the house to the garage. The total area of โโthe building exceeds 1.5 thousand square meters, so you cannot call a small house in any way.
A service room is essential in such an area. Leaving the skis, throwing off the outer clothing that got wet under the snow or during outdoor activities, organizing the laundry โ all these tasks were implemented in one room.
The walls and slabs that form the lower floor are concrete. This keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. Complex upper structures โ made of steel and wood.
The interior, as you can see, is minimalistic. However, rooms with such a dizzying view do not need any additional decor..
The Hadaway House seems truly remarkable perched on the side of a mountain! How was it designed and constructed to withstand the rugged terrain and potential weather challenges? Iโm also curious about the unique features and views it offers. Can you tell us more about the inspiration behind this extraordinary architectural masterpiece?
