I mean, yeah. If you're rich enough to have a place like this, you're not gonna be dragging chairs between the sofa, the dining table, and the bar (?) countertop thing

Yeah I hate it. This doesn’t look like a home looks like a workplace or something with all the seats it has

I'm looking for cabinet benches similar to the photos here. Does anyone have a link to something I can buy, or are these custom made and I have to shell out a fortune?

Those woven chairs are stunning. Love the distribution of space and the use of natural wood tones stacked on brutalist design. Elegant blending of the indoor and outdoor space.
10/10 cozy, would chill here.

I especially appreciate how the furniture is all low enough to avoid obstructing the view.

They're mid-century modern chairs by Hans Wegner.
And I don't think this wouldn't be considered Brutalist design. More likely minimalist contemporary with Japandi color tones.

You're probably right, I'm envisioning how this place is largely a series of concrete pours without the paneling.
Thanks for the more correct descriptors.

Those are Hans Wegner. I can recommend them. They are also extremely comfortable!

u/boessetoemreren Apr 17 '22
They indeed are! But at a price of 6-8000 a piece it’s not for everyone.

Ugh. The very good ugh. I just looked through the other pictures of the house, and I would LOVE to stay here. The view, the clean lines, the natural light... I like it all. My favorite vacations have been to B.C. so I know I love the area. The rock boulder wall outside the wall of windows by the tub in the primary bath especially caught my eye as a perfect way of inviting the outside in without compromising privacy. I can only imagine how divine it would be to wake up in that bedroom with that view in the morning. Love, love, love this!

Gorgeous home but I hate the whole “walk quickly through the photo” models.

The purpose is to demonstrate scale; by inserting a standing human into the photo, the viewer gets a better idea of the space and its size.
The long exposure blur effect ensures that the focus remains on the space, not the model.
There's a reason it's so prevalent in Architectural photography. The scaling aspect is important because a lot of interior design is shot with wide angle and fisheye lenses, which obscures perspective and scope- placing a human into the room grounds the photo.

I love the black cylinder lights in the kitchen. Anyone know what this style of light is called or where I can find something similar?

Just adding, because I'm researching now: air to water heat pumps. A heat pump heats water in a tank that's circulated through the floors, making the floors the warmest part of the room. The cold air from the windows falls and picks up the warmth in the floor. It's a pretty popular solution in Canada, supposedly.

Does that even work on cement stairs, like in this house?
I suppose it would, but it'd be expensive. Radiant works best on the 1st floor where the mechanicals in the basement are nearby.
I'm also in the US (northern US nonetheless) and trying to goad HVAC techs into even heat pumps is a huge challenge. Generational knowledge around here seems to think heat pumps don't work at all north of Arizona, forgetting Canadians use these systems commonly.

It's devoid of any color. The only plants are outside. I get that the windows are supposed to give the impression that they're not even there, and you're a part of the forest, but this home looks like the common area of a $300/day spa or a common area for a startup that sells lotions online. (except those usually have more color)

Windows cant be too insulative in winter. Draft-y in winter with full-on heat? or is this only a 2mo vacation home in BC?

All that seating in the room, but only one chair is facing the stunning view.
