Cypress Mountain sits directly north of Vancouver inside Cypress Provincial Park, and it makes absolutely no effort to hide that fact. Slopes look out over the city's high-rise skyline, the surrounding mountain ranges, and the various bodies of water winding through the region. The result is one of the most astonishing views available at any ski resort on the continent.
Clad in blackened wood and grounded by a solid concrete base, the three-story cabin emerges from the trees with a quiet confidence. Its vertical form allows it to capture sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Columbia River Valley and the mountains beyond - a deliberate move to make every level of the home feel closer to the treetops and sky. A sleek, shed-style roof caps the structure, echoing the slope of the terrain while maintaining a minimalist silhouette.
