As the story reveals, “The house is the stage; the performance belongs to the UNESCO biosphere — teal waters glinting below, the granite face of the Stawamus Chief towering above, and skies alive with mountain weather.” Set at the edge of Squamish, just an hour from Vancouver, the residence is conceived as a private wellness retreat, hewn into granite and opening to forest, ocean, and sky. More than architecture, it is a sanctuary — a place where foraged meals, fireside gatherings, and rituals of stillness shape daily life. The Sanctuary by BattersbyHowat is now live online and has appeared on international newsstands. Read the full story online and experience why this rare work is gaining worldwide recognition.
