Framing in the British Properties
The British Properties sit high on the North Shore slope above Marine Drive, and the homes here are among the largest in the region. Mountview frames custom residences on these upper lots, where scale, grade and views set the brief.
Lots in the area are generally large and steeply sloped, with rock outcrops and mature forest. Houses are often built in several levels that step down the hill, with garages, terraces and retaining structures built into the grade.
That means a lot of framing is cantilevered or long-span, with tall walls and big glazed openings oriented to the water. We work from the architect’s and engineer’s drawings and plan crew sequencing around the site.
Many lots in the area carry design guidelines or covenants in addition to District of West Vancouver requirements, so it is worth checking your title early. Your designer will usually lead that process; we plan the build around the outcome.
If you are planning a new home or a major rebuild in the British Properties, send us the drawings for a free estimate.
