Whistler Residence
Designed by Canadian architectural firm Batterby Howat, Whistler Residence is located in an exclusive Whistler neighborhood halfway up a mountainside.
Whistler Residence was designed for a client from London - UK - who enjoyed the timber structures characteristic of the typical Whistler Chalet but wanted something unique that would capture the ambience without the cookie cutter organization and aesthetic.
As the architects describe it, the house is slightly deceptive: located on a smallish, yet prominent site, the visual mass of this large structure was diminished through making a substantial portion of the house appear to be below grade. Thoughtful removal of bedrock and the careful allocation of program to allow for both adult and children’s retreat zones resulted in a structure that is extremely private and looks deceptively modest in relation to its neighbors.
