Vancouver House
Patkau Architects Inc.
A client's offhand request—that the architects add a lap pool to the design for a new house—turns into a defining moment for this Vancouver residence. The lap pool ended up cantilevered above the entrance to the house, where it casts shimmering reflections throughout the space. Photo © Paul Warchol
