The Arbutus House by Georg Koslowski is now live online. As the story reveals, “A clear expression of Japanese architectural principles, in intimate dialogue with the West Coast landscape.” Conceived in 1979, the home is stepped directly into the cascading granite slopes of West Vancouver — its tiered levels, vaulted cedar ceilings, and diagonal skylight drawing light deep into the interior while preserving the surrounding mature fir, cedar, and arbutus trees. Read the full story online and discover why this rare Koslowski design represents a defining chapter in West Vancouver’s modern architectural legacy.
