Forest House by Garret Cord Werner

Garret Cord Werner have designed a contemporary home near Vancouver, Canada. Project description The architecture & interiors of this new home design by Garret Cord Werner represents a high quality of new construction on a modest budget. Over 20 ft. high concrete walls frame the dramatic entry into the home that features a floating open riser staircase. The home was designed to maximize light & to make one feel as much a part of the forest surrounding the home as possible. Oversized sliding glass doors & clear story windows are used to reinforce this inside-out relationship to the garden. Upstairs, a signature feature of our work is what we call a sky garden.

The exterior is black stained timber and appears as a dark silhouette behind the veil of green foliage provided by the trees. The design intentionally does not try to compete or mimic the wi
