Curio House, Richmond BC
ARCHITECT Haeccity Studio Architecture
Haeccity Studio Architecture has recently completed a single-family home that integrates a classical Chinese residential composition with state-of-the-art construction. The location, in Richmond, BC, is appropriate with an established East Asian demographic, the residence poetically responds to the cultural intersection of East meeting West.

Haeccity co-founder Shirley Shen speaks to this theme as an expression of the clients’ personal story as Chinese scholars and residents of the neighbourhood for nearly fifty years: “The strong north-south axis and progression through space along the cardinal line comes from a completely eastern perspective, but the architectural language is of its current time and place.”
