Lampa House by D’Arcy Jones Architects
This project is a house located in Victoria, Canada, designed in 2016 by D’Arcy Jones Architects. The house is oriented east-west, sited between mature Garry Oaks at the east and rock outcroppings near the street at the west. Living spaces and a pool are organized in a U-shape, enclosing a lushly planted courtyard. All interior spaces are defined by concrete floors, white walls and curved ceilings that glow.
A House For A Professional Couple With School-Age Children
The clients are a professional couple with school and university-age children. They had lived in Vancouver, but were attracted to Victoria’s moderate climate and relaxed pace of life. The mother of one of the clients intends to live independently in the house’s guest suite during the winter months.
Indoor Spaces Defined By Concrete Floors And Curved Ceilings
The site is oriented east-west. The house was sited between mature Garry Oaks at the east and rock outcroppings near the street at the west. Living spaces and a pool are organized in a U-shape, enclosing a lushly planted courtyard. The house is low-slung, and was planned with two distinct zones connected by an entry bridge and a stair, dividing the house into private and public wings. This pinch-point between the two halves is finished with wood, to emphasize the transition between the two. All interior spaces are defined by concrete floors, white walls and curved ceilings that glow.
