The Upward House

Deep Cove, Canada

Rooted in the sensory experience of Deep Cove’s forest, the Upward House translates verticality, light, and motion into built form. Fluted glass windows echo the rhythm of tree trunks, drawing daylight upward and animating the interior with shifting patterns of shadow. The architecture frames the forest as a living presence, creating a retreat for two that is defined by verticality, light, and a continuous upward movement.
