When Every Step is a Step Into the Unexpected | Link House

ByMyProperty Life

Link House designed by the visionary Openideas Architects located in the heart of the city is a groundbreaking architectural marvel stands as a testament to creativity and ingenuity. Designed as a sprawling 22,000 sq. ft home for an entrepreneur and real estate magnate, this house defies the norms of conventional living.

The challenge presented was monumental: to construct two distinct houses and an outhouse on a confined plot. Embracing this challenge, Openideas Architects proposed an innovative solution — two separate blocks for the father and son, cleverly elevated and connected with entertainment areas at the upper level. This ingenious design minimized ground coverage. Also, giving rise to lush green pockets, sunken courts, and expansive lawns within the limited space. Aptly named “Link House,” this creation symbolizes the bridge between generations, ideologies, and experiences.

The journey through The Link House begins with a dynamic bridge flowing over water bodies and greens, set the stage for extraordinary experiences that lie beyond. Meticulously planned spaces unfold as one ascends, ingeniously catering to the unique needs of both father and son. The upper level reveals a dynamic entertainment space, seamlessly connec the distinct houses and overlook the pool area with stepped garden pockets.

The ground level, below the flowing bridge, cradles the parent’s abode, providing tranquility and security. Simultaneously, the adjacent block housing the son’s home interconnects both upper and lower levels, creating sunken courts for family gatherings that open up into vast, verdant lawns.
In every aspect, Link House is a manifestation of thoughtful design where luxury meets functionality, surprises abound at every turn, and each day unfolds as a unique experience.
Internally, the residence is adorned with the finest Italian marble and wood, reflecting a blend of luxury, warmth, and elegance. Every room, a canvas, merges modern contemporary aesthetics with timeless elegance.
At the basement level, a sanctuary awaits with a home theater and a spa featuring a skylight that redefines calmness. This oasis extends into a soothing blue water body, surrounded by nature penetrating through concrete.

  • Collingwood Residence

    Situated on Bowen Island’s West Coast, the Collingwood Residence is located on a private 10 acre lot surrounded by forest. The home is divided into three buildings, connected by the glass breezeways, as an intentional separation of public and private spaces. The breezeways which separate the buildings afford views to the ocean as you approach the house. Social experiences are centered around the open kitchen, dining, and living space located in the central building, while the master and guest suites are located in the buildings to either side. Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors in the kitchen and dining spaces can be opened to extend the living space outdoors to the covered patio with views to the ocean. The local material selection is reflective of the home’s west coast setting: cedar shingles clad the exterior, while the natural stone grounds the home firmly on its site. The large cantilevered dual-pitch roofs with cedar soffits and exposed structure, reflect the traditional forms of the remote cabin, while they are given a contemporary feel with crisply detailed zinc fascias. The building is highly insulated and airtight to limit the need for energy usage throughout the year. Appliances were carefully selected for energy efficiency and low water consumption. Large low-e coated windows and overhangs are sited to maximize solar gain in the winter months whilst preventing overheating in the summer.
