Scott Posno Design has shared photos of a modern home they completed in Vancouver, Canada, that showcases a dark brick exterior.
The house presents a series of stacked, dark brick volumes that create a strong geometric presence, evoking strength and privacy.
The home also features overlapping forms, giving it a modern, sculptural feel.
At the rear of the home, doors and stairs connect the interior spaces with the outdoors, where there’s a swimming pool, outdoor lounge, and BBQ area.
A large and dark front door opens to the entryway with a wall sculpture and bench.
Inside, there’s a serene interior palette of oak floors, oak windows, and oak millwork, complemented by natural stone finishes throughout. Abundant natural light streams through large southern-facing windows.
The home has both a living room and a family room, both with comfortable furnishings and wood accents.
A wood kitchen has integrated appliances and a large island. Nearby there’s a casual banquette dining area and the open plan dining room.
The home also includes an office with vertical wood walls.
A standout architectural feature is the grand oak staircase, which spirals around a suspended three-story glass chandelier. The staircase rises to a large skylight, flooding the centre of the house with sunlight while providing a visual connection between all levels.
The lower level of the home serves as an entertainment hub, complete with a golf simulator, theatre room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms
