– Breathtaking sky home at Alberni by Kengo Kuma – A landmark collaboration between Kengo Kuma and Westbank, Alberni by Kengo Kuma brings one of the world’s most celebrated architectural voices to Vancouver. This exceptional corner residence offers more than 1,800 square feet of refined interior living, framed by captivating southwest views across English Bay, Stanley Park, the North Shore mountains and Vancouver cityscape. From this ideal elevation, floor-to-ceiling glass and overheight ceilings draw the outlook into nearly every principal room, with spectacular sunsets over English Bay. A defining feature of the home is its extraordinary 614-square-foot covered terrace. Conceived as an extension of the interior, this private outdoor living space features an oversized Japanese soaking tub, wood-composite decking and a Japanese stone garden, creating a serene setting high above the city. Inside, a refined material palette reflects Kengo Kuma’s signature warmth and restraint. White oak hardwood flooring, integrated sheer drapery, honed travertine and beautifully crafted maple millwork establish a sense of calm and continuity throughout. Maple feature walls at the entry extend into the kitchen and bathrooms, giving the residence a cohesive architectural expression. The kitchen is both sculptural and highly functional, anchored by a custom cantilevered maple island and complemented by integrated Miele appliances, including an induction cooktop. Designed equally for everyday living and entertaining, it forms a natural centrepiece within the open living space. The bathrooms continue the home’s considered material language with Travertine Navona walls and floors, Douglas fir ceiling slats and finely detailed millwork. The five-piece primary ensuite is particularly striking, featuring Kengo Kuma’s signature Travertine Navona basin, integrated lighting and Nuheat heated floors. Residents enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities, including full-service concierge, an artful indoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness centre, listening room and wine room. The dramatic entry atrium sets the tone, with its moss garden, Fazioli piano and reception desk designed by Kengo Kuma himself. A remarkable expression of architecture, materiality and indoor-outdoor living, this residence pairs one of Alberni’s most compelling terraces with breathtaking views across Vancouver and English Bay.
