One block from the ocean at the southernmost tip of Vancouver Island, in a historic and sought after urban neighbourhood of Victoria, this side by side duplex was built by two lifelong friends as a unique contemporary home for their families. The interior was conceived as an open plan, luxury hybrid of coastal and contemporary character with soaring 18’ ceilings and extensive architectural millwork throughout. Zones within house to allow the family to function together, while still finding area’s for privacy. The master suite on the second floor is oriented to take full advantage of partial ocean views across the strait of juan de fuca through to the Olympic mountains in Washington State, while the second bedroom overlooks the established foliage of a city park directly across the street. From unique custom millwork, including a spectacular white oak and glass contemporary staircase, to expansive exterior millwork features and unique architectural elements to custom built-ins and finishing throughout, the home is a display of an elite level of craftsmanship and specialized skill.
