Yield House Featured on Dezeen
We’re big fans of Dezeen around here and even bigger fans when our projects are featured! Check out this recent Dezeen article featuring Yield House by Splyce Design
This contemporary, 3-storey, single-family residence in Vancouver, BC is heavily glazed in the front and rear facades, with the front acting as stacked viewing platforms towards ocean and mountain views. The residence also features an elegant cantilevered staircase from the sidewalk along a concrete retaining wall, and an occupiable green roof deck.
Inside, the design includes a feature staircase comprised of thin steel stringers paired with a thin steel plate landing and a tensioned cable stair guard.
Behind the scenes, the structure consists of light wood frame and steel elements in the upper levels while concrete suspended slabs and walls were used on the basement and main levels. The project also includes a 900 sq. ft. detached garage built of light wood frame construction.
Huge thanks to Splyce Design for including us on this fantastic project!
