Omer Arbel, a Vancouver-based designer, opts to number his creations rather than name them, emphasizing their sequence of completion. His latest project, numbered 91, is a stunning family holiday house located on British Columbia's coast, designed to blend intricately into its surrounding forest. Constructed from heavy end-grain cedar blocks, the house emits a lantern-like glow at night. Arbel wisely positioned the structure to balance dramatic water views with appreciation of the local ecosystem, anticipating future environmental changes, including rising sea levels.
The house, a masterpiece by Omer Arbel, harmoniously integrates with its forest setting while allowing occupants to appreciate both sea views and surrounding nature.
By positioning the house perpendicular to the coast, Arbel ensures that residents enjoy stunning vistas while also engaging with the diverse ecosystems below.
Arbel’s design anticipates environmental change, projecting the future transformation of the site due to rising sea levels in a century's time.
The muted finish of the cedar-clad home and its glowing appearance at night illustrate Arbel's thoughtful approach to blending structure and landscape.
