The Deep Cove House is a modern family home, designed by D’Arcy Jones Architects blends the feel of a lookout tower, courtyard retreat, and part natural landform. Located near a vibrant intersection and commercial area in Dollarton, North Vancouver, the front facade remains understated, promoting a sense of privacy and calm. The angular exterior was crafted to reduce glare and direct water away from the wrap-around windows, enhancing the minimalist look. Inside, long horizontal windows frame a spectacular 180º view of Indian Arm, where ocean life thrives with passing freighters, kayakers, and even the occasional whale.

Thoughtfully planned courtyards further blur the line between indoors and out. One features native plantings, echoing the forested landscape that once existed on the oversized 10,998-square-foot lot. The other courtyard is a serene outdoor space, perfect for dining or relaxing in the sun while sheltered from the wind. These outdoor pockets provide dramatic visual connections between the home’s interior spaces, ensuring a continuous flow of light and nature throughout.

Despite its compact appearance, the house offers ample living space, with a hidden basement that houses a gym, sauna, and mechanical systems. Its flexible layout accommodates multiple uses, where bedrooms can become dens, and living areas adapt to suit a family’s evolving needs. Located just 250 meters from public beach access and a block from Cates Park, this home offers a rare combination of luxury, modern design, and proximity to some of the best outdoor experiences in North Vancouver.
