Settled in a quiet cul-de-sac in Caulfeild, the Vancouver Residence is a 4,913 square-foot private home located in West Vancouver, B.C. The exterior features reSAWN TIMBER co.’s KOS Shou Sugi Ban Charred Kebony® exterior cladding. The contrast of the charred wood provides a beautiful dark aesthetic that highlights the surrounding landscape of the property. The well-thought-out blend of greenery and basalt pavers bordering the rectangular pool and firepit creates a tranquil area for the homeowners.
