Standing Seam Metal Roof Is Key Design Component for Equestrian Estate
Located in the greater Vancouver, British Columbia area, this 2 1/2-acre equestrian estate includes a striking 9,000-square-foot main residence plus three outbuildings totaling 6,000 square feet to accommodate seven horses.
Design for the project was provided by Blackwell Architecture Inc., Vancouver. According to principal Shawn Blackwell, “The owner was concerned with maintenance issues and also wanted to use natural and local materials as much as possible.” The resulting rich palette of materials included basalt stone, wood and zinc.
