the collection
Set on a mountainside above Metro Vancouver’s most affluent community, The Collection by British Pacific Properties is an elegant collection of single-family homes. British Pacific Properties has been instrumental in building community in West Vancouver for almost 100 year.

AN INTIMACY MATERIALIZES BETWEEN NATURE AND DESIGN
Clinging to the contours of a forested mountainside, a limited collection of ten iconic residences crowns West Vancouver in the Uplands community. In a collaboration between British Pacific Properties and Battersby Howat, design is informed by this majestic natural environment to create an integrated living experience like no other.
reflect on light & shadow
The design team views architecture as an opportunity to connect people with the world around them. The simplicity of a dark façade invites homes to assimilate with the green landscape — this restrained approach to design enhances the visual impact.
Light and shadow change the dynamic of The Collection’s exterior surfaces and interior spaces. Each home is uniquely oriented, subtly shifted to reflect the light in ways that are different than its neighbour.
a modern west coast existence
The architecture and interiors are holistically designed, seamlessly carrying sophistication through the open spaces, from room to room. Expansive windows pull the outdoors inward, accentuating the poetic views that stretch from a towering metropolis in the east to that point where the sun slips into the horizon in the west.
