Project size: 3,600 sf

Program: The Rough House is a single family residence rooted in handmade craft and built to showcase local artisans and their design processes.

Location: Vancouver’s residential Kitsilano neighborhood.

Solution: Situated within a tight urban lot, the house is separated from its neighbors for privacy and sense of place. Interventions such as the narrowing of the building to support increased side yards and landscape edges, and the mixing and matching of textures, enhance the space. The first and second floors are influenced by the Japanese principle of shakkei, or “borrowed landscape,” which integrates framed views of nature into the architecture.

Construction and materials: Materials were selected to showcase the work process of local skilled artisans. To address the need for compositional balance not only at the building massing level but also at the scale of fine, medium, and coarse material selection, carbonized cypress was used for exterior cladding. Board-form concrete was selected for exterior window surrounds and soffits.

In this webinar with Rob Glisson, AIA, principal at ROJO Architecture, see how BIM can help you reduce risk, accelerate schedules, establish more accurate budgets, decrease costs, and better serve your clients.
