There is something profoundly moving about a house that tells a continuing story. This building's creation in the late 1960's was a collaboration between its original owner Ian McNairn, a professor of fine arts at UBC, and architect Barry Downs, who along with master carpenter Aage Villadsen, revived the nearly long-gone hand construction skills of joinery, mortice and tenon, splicing and doweling, to construct a remarkable summer residence enjoyed by its family for nearly 30 years. The home's good fortune continued in 1998, when like-minded owners with the means and imagination to visualize the property's next phases of life, coaxed the original architect and both second & third generations of the master carpenter's family back to their creation decades after the original commission. The outstanding level of uncompromising commitment and creative energy can be glimpsed in the photo files above, yet if ever a property was meant to be felt, there is little doubt this house and its next owner will meet in an instant . And both will know....
