Courtyard House

Introduction

Russell Hollingsworth has brightly carried the torch of West Coast Modern architecture in Vancouver, and has created some of the most well known works of art across Vancouver. Fred Hollingsworth, the father and practitioner of the West Coast tradition exposed his son Russell to the rewards of building spaces that embody their natural surroundings. At the COURTYARD HOUSE, Russell’s renovations designs reflect this early influence, working with the land, while connecting it’s occupants to the external environment. His involvement included renovating key areas of the home, to maintain it’s historical character, while improving the Owner’s experience of daily living. The Architect of the house was Hamish McIntyre. As one architectural fan put it, "I never want to leave this house". Book your tour below.

Indeed, Mr. Hollingsworth and his dedicated team have crafted some of the most magnificent homes on the West Coast.

“I have never developed hasty, mass-produced structures. I want us to be the five-star restaurant of construction, tucked away in the corner with an outstanding, dedicated team of staff members. I strive to make imminently beautiful places, thoughtfully built using the best materials and techniques so they are consequently cherished and cared for by their owners over time, similar to historical structures. To me, this is the essence of sustainability.” Russell often tells his team “we are building modern structures to heritage quality.”
