Camera House

Pemberton, BC

Intended for a young family, Camera House was constructed as a rural retreat situated on a sloped five-acre lot in Pemberton Valley. The home features dramatic windows and skylights that are meant to frame the surrounding landscape like a camera lens. Capturing incoming light, the design emphasizes a connection to the environment while offering scenic views of the surrounding area. The project also includes a workshop building and pool shell.

ASPECT was engaged to provide Engineer of Record services for the duration of the project. The home is comprised of light wood frame with steel elements atop a concrete crawlspace. Structurally, the roof is comprised of a series of three-sided boxes allowing the architecture to open up views to the neighbouring mountain ranges through clerestories. 2x trusses were used to simplify back framing and create the vaulted interior ceiling.
