West Coast Modern House Series

West Coast Modern residences offer a glimpse into the unique architectural history of the region and represent the legacies of some of Canada’s most innovative and revered architects. Unfortunately, many of these structures face the threat of demolition; most are so poorly documented, they are in danger of being forgotten.

While the loss of some landmark houses may be inevitable as a result of escalating land values and the high cost of upkeep, the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture is committed to the documentation of this fragile architectural heritage for future generations. Each book provides a unique visual and written history of one iconic home.
