Description
Imagine a tranquil 3,000 sq ft retreat, balanced over an ocean-facing cliffside lot. This is our recent cantilever architecture project on Bowen Island, a structure that perches on the edge, connected back to the cliff to provide living spaces floating above the cliff.
The cantilever design of the retreat involves strategically stacked volumes arranged perpendicular to each other. This arrangement forms a dramatic cantilever, with parts of the building seeming to float above the landscape, defying gravity. The cantilever design also opens up space for a large, occupiable deck, providing a unique outdoor area that combines comfort and a stunning panoramic view of the surroundings.
Serving as the backbone of the retreat is a 14' tall Vierendeel steel frame. This large steel structure lends the building both strength and stability, allowing the cantilever design to come to life. It's the skeleton that supports the innovative shape of the retreat, merging engineering and design in a harmonious blend.
