4069 Madeley Road, North Vancouver BC

Presenting the Peninsula House, a seminal work of James K.M. Cheng. Key in shaping Vancouver’s crystalline skyline, Cheng’s west coast modern design for a young family of Hong Kong fashion professionals pays tribute to his hero, Louis Kahn. Its name derived from two creeks gracing its idyllic setting, this sunlit North Vancouver home overlooks nearly ½ acre of parkland. Cheng’s design evokes Kahn’s Esherick House, showcasing minimalist cedar-clad volumes and exquisite detailing to create an interior suffused with light. Awarded 1977’s Architectural Record House prize, Peninsula House set the stage for Cheng’s later success shaping Vancouver’s waterfront.
