Modern Daniel White Home in Saanich, BC, Canada

Posted: 16 Jul 2014 09:04 AM PDT

This Saanich home, designed by Daniel Evan White, is organized in steps on a forested slope, and several exterior decks continue the stepped progression providing an entertaining BBQ area; a pool with adjoining changing room and steam/shower; separate guest or caretaker quarters; as well as coastline decks that offer a variety of transitional daylight and shade opportunities to enjoy both White’s remarkable creation and one of Victoria’s finest coastlines.

White was never called a "Starchitect" because he designed homes rather than public buildings, but he was both prolific and masterful at what he did. As recognition of his work, the Museum of Vancouver even exhibited a retrospective of him in 2013.

Curved skylights look a little dated now, but in 1974, when the house was first conceived, they were a cutting-edge way to expand the view and let in more natural light.
