224 Bay Ridge Pl — Salt Spring, British Columbia

Perched within one of the most breathtaking natural settings in the Southern Gulf Islands, this extraordinary residence stands as one of the region’s most architecturally significant homes. A masterful collaboration between acclaimed architect Sean Pearson and renowned builder Hans Hazenboom, the home is a seamless fusion of refined modernism and West Coast craftsmanship. Dubbed the “Gulf Islands House” by the architect, the design draws inspiration from Arthur Erickson’s iconic Smith House II, marrying the warmth and permanence of a Canadian log cabin with the sophistication of a contemporary villa. Every detail throughout the residence has been thoughtfully considered and impeccably executed. Custom white oak cabinetry anchors each room with warmth and continuity, while curated custom furnishings elevate the home into a fully realized design experience. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ever-changing coastal landscape, immersing every space in natural light while capturing sweeping ocean vistas and abundant wildlife from virtually every room in the home. Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate retreat, the residence features a dedicated theatre room and beautifully integrated guest accommodations that offer exceptional privacy while remaining elegantly connected to the main home. The result is a property that feels both expansive and deeply intentional - luxurious without excess, and profoundly connected to its surroundings. This is more than a home; it is a legacy property - an architectural work of art that embodies the spirit, beauty, and timelessness of the Southern Gulf Islands. (id:63357)
