Wedge House

Introduction

A once in a lifetime opportunity to be the next custodian of the WEDGE HOUSE by Arthur Erickson. Inspired by Japanese principles and our Canadian landscape, Arthur has created a piece of art that reaches the sky, yet grounds itself with endless interest, and signature details...from the angled fir beams to the breathtaking spaces throughout. Current Owners enlisted Lanefab Design to gently bring the WEDGE to its modern-day evolution...radiant floor heating, updated appliances, and mechanicals. This is one of the most important architectural gems of the North Shore...full stop.

“Japanese architecture has given rise to much of the present day vocabulary of domestic architecture, the ‘open plan’, post and beam construction,… the taste for natural finishes, for lightness of construction… is to a great extent of Japanese origin.”

- Arthur Erickson, 1961

Arthur Erickson

Considered Canada's greatest architect of all time, Arthur Erickson designed some of the Lower Mainland's most prominent structures. This includes Robson Square and the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, both in Vancouver, and Simon Fraser University in Burnaby. His buildings are mainly built with concrete and glass, and were designed to respond to the location’s climate.
