Horseshoe Bay Sanctuary

West Vancouver, BC

This residential development set in the stunning location of Horseshoe Bay features 6 new residential buildings along with a separate boathouse amenity building. We collaborated with Fraserwood Industries in a Design Assist role to design the superstructure for the timber boathouse, and to carry out the member and connection design of the boathouse as well as the residential penthouse structures. The elegant boathouse was constructed using prefabricated glulam arches with fully concealed connections. The lateral system consists of tension-bracing and glulam frames. The penthouses are constructed from exposed glulam columns, trusses and beams, and tied back to the concrete base structure for lateral support.
