Marine Drive Residence – Vancouver, BC, Canada 🇨🇦

Marine Drive Residence, designed by Scott Posno Design, showcases a striking balance between modern minimalism and the grand elements of a château. The home’s dark brick exterior and geometric silhouette present an austere, fortress-like impression from the street. Yet the design reveals much more upon closer inspection, with the back of the home opening to expansive windows and balconies that face the Strait of Georgia.

Marine Drive Residence is a striking Vancouver home, designed by Scott Posno Design, that exemplifies a modern château with minimalist sophistication. The 12,000-square-foot home, clad in dark brick, projects a bold geometric form from the street. Limited front-facing windows enhance privacy and noise control while the interior opens up with expansive backyard windows and a central skylight. These design features maximize natural light throughout the home, creating a bright, welcoming space within its fortress-like exterior.

Inside, the home features seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, with the master suite offering a private balcony overlooking the mature trees and a view of the Strait of Georgia. The layout is functional yet luxurious, featuring double kitchens (including a spice/wok kitchen), elevators, a golf simulator, a theatre, and four gas fireplaces. The oak staircase, crowned by a Bocci chandelier, acts as a key design element, connecting the three storeys from the skylit top floor to the walkout basement.

Outdoors, the property shines with a beautifully landscaped backyard, accessible from both the basement and main floor. A pool, hot tub, lounge area, and built-in barbecue provide ample recreation and relaxation space. The sloping yard is thoughtfully designed, with a transparent railing leading down to the pool, enhancing the seamless transition from indoor luxury to outdoor leisure.
