This Canadian Mountaintop Home Is Designed to Mirror Its Mountainous Surroundings
Built in a series of disjointed sections.
Set atop a rocky outcrop in the Canadian mountains, the “Float” house by architect Omar Gandhi has taken inspiration from the local area to offer views across the region. The house comes in a series of disjointed and different-sized sections, each of which is designed to look like the traditional small wooden buildings of the region. Another key influence is the stone outcrops and giant boulders that litter the region.
The “Float” house also makes the most of its hillside location, with large windows offering sweeping vistas over the valley below and views of the ocean, which can be seen on a clear day. A tall outcrop behind the house, meanwhile, gives the building a sheltered outside area.
