Kristen,
Send photos of the house, and I’ll try find out who built it!

we were told that this house was built by a very well know architect …i am wondering if there is any way this house may have been designed by arthur erickson and if there is any way to find out…it is indeed very different…with slanted huge front windows and exposed beams…is there any way of knowing?

and Terry, thanks for the homework – I can’t answer that question and now have to go do some research.

I took my Kwantlen Interior Design students to see the Smith House as well as the two Eppich ones. After I gave them a quiz and the question was, ” Draw the three DIFFERENT post and beam arrangements as seen at the three Erickson houses we visited.” Only 1/20 students got it right and her name was Hollingsworth (no relation to the West
Vancouver architectural family)!

Send answers to the above – no awards/prizes for correct answer but the knowledge that you’re very observant!

There may have been no choice but to treat it, but it still look great and is a beautiful house no matter what, and has worn well despite harsh, wet conditions in that spot. But these photos from when the cedar was new are unbelievably beautiful.
