Short description of the houses from West Vancouver Museum:

From the 1953 Plommer Residence by Fred Hollingsworth to a stunning recently completed contemporary home by Mason Kent, this year’s spectacular line-up of homes offers participants an unique opportunity to visit a diversity of private homes.

Constructed like a bridge and spanning over a rocky outcrop, the 1983 Dan White designed Taylor House has breath-taking ocean views.

Built by Lauder and Tate in a manner of Thompson Berwick and Pratt, a 1959 house sits on the end of a cul-de- sac oriented toward the surrounding forest and illustrates early principles of mid-century post and beam design. This modest house has been sensitively renovated by architect James Hancock for his family.

A 1954 house, originally built on a gravel road, had fallen into disrepair before being transformed into a unique modern house by landscape architect Don Vaughan. Over many years, Vaughan renovated his house to create a setting where architecture, art and landscape are integral to the overall design.
