apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Cape Schanck House
Victoria

091008cape01.jpgAs someone who is horribly afraid of heights, this house makes us nervous! Forgetting our own fears of anything higher than a stepladder, this looks fantastic from all angles. Built just down the road from us at Cape Schanck, where there are some amazing architectural designs being produced- one of which we’ve featured before. The Cape Schanck house was built to maxamzie the views of the bay and local peninsula.

Including a pool with a vanishing edge and a very striking black and white kitchen, we’ve been day dreaming of somehow being invited to a casual summer BBQ.

Designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects.

Am I crazy or did I see this house in the movie, Charlie's Angels? Sam Rockwell's character's house. ????

Never mind. I read this on IMDB:
"The hillside house is modeled after a real California architectural landmark, the Chemosphere House created by architect John Lautner. The entire house was created on a soundstage and was actually much larger and rounder than the original."

"As someone who is horribly afraid of heights, this house makes us nervous!"

This sentence makes me nervous. I know the AT bloggers are writing in one voice but this one is weird. Maybe it should be "As people who are horribly afraid of heights, this house makes us nervous." You can't use someone and us.
OK. Just my nitpick for the day...
Keep calm and carry on.

what is "maxamzie"? is it a creative way to spell "maximize," or evidence that my vocabulary is lacking?

anyway, this house is pretty awesome.

um...Some people need to chill about the grammar/spelling errors. You still understood it, right?
Great looking house, the kitchen is fantastic.
