Rockhouse by Sandrin Leung Design Build
rock bluff site Rockhouse by Sandrin Leung Design Build
The Rockhouse is designed by Sandrin Leung Design Build with central courtyard which mediates between the public and the private domains of the house. The rear site is occupied by incredible rock bluff. This single-storey 3-bedroom / 2-bathroom house maximizes layout efficiency without sacrificing spaciousness. The Rockhouse site is also a geographic link, or as the Coast Salish once described – Sechelt – “the land between two waters.”

The wood courtyard takes place as private contemplation and filter outside world through the glazed entry breezeway. In the living room, the beauty of the outdoors is invited in by exposing a portion of the massive rock bluff as the back wall. The warmth and delicacy of the bamboo floors and the pine ceiling intersect the rough and quiet surface of the exposed rock. On the bedroom wing, the rock is again invited into the private space of the house, but this time through a strategic slot window that reveals an intimate sample of the quiet rock surface.
