Sound House, an extraordinary design by Canada's most revered architect Arthur Erickson with an addition by his protégé, Nick Milkovich. Situated in Vancouver’s prestigious west side with a view of the city, this unpublished gem marks a defining moment in Erickson's career, where concrete took prominence in his architectural language. Designed for an audiophile, sound was key in the conception of the home. Inside, wood, glass, and concrete embody Erickson’s signature west coast modernism, blending Japanese-inspired simplicity with local sensibilities. Double-height living spaces invite natural light, while a serene courtyard anchored by a magnificent cedar deepens the connection to nature. This previously unknown Erickson, with its balance of form and function, awaits its next custodian.
