After nearly a decade of embracing the laid-back, outdoor-friendly lifestyle of sunny California, a family of British Columbia natives decided to make a move back to their roots. Settling on a property in Sentinel Hill, with promising potential and alluring views of West Vancouver, the Burrard Inlet, and surrounding mountains, the homeowners were eager to make it their own. Key to their vision was replicating the abundant, bright, and airy feel of California living alongside the vibrant indoor/outdoor living experience. They enlisted the expertise of the design-build firm Upward Construction and the visionary interior design of Sarah Gallop to create a contemporary abode of timber, stone, and glass complete with large opening glass walls and sustainable design elements on every floor.
