Abstract

The article discusses the design and features of Arbour House, a residence in Victoria, British Columbia, designed by Patkau Architects. The house takes advantage of its site's water views and natural light, with skylights and retractable glazing allowing for a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. The design prioritizes sociability and includes spaces for gathering with family and friends. The house also incorporates sustainable features such as passive cooling, ground-source heat pumps, and rooftop photovoltaics. The article highlights the unique design elements and materials used in the construction of the house. [Extracted from the article]
