The Art of Selling Architecture.

 
 

We believe there are enough real estate agents that offer mainstream properties but not enough that authentically know the world of architect-designed homes. We don’t do cookie-cutter subdivisions or imitation chateaus. When you come to West Coast Modern you gain access to the fine art of modern architecture.

Our name is inspired by the modernist movement on the West Coast of Canada introduced in the 1940s by the great architects of Fred Hollingsworth, Arthur Erickson and Ned Pratt. The central themes of West Coast Modernism are the heart of all the properties we sell: flowing spaces, natural light, truth to materials, and the relationship between architecture and its environment.

West Coast Modern meets the growing demand for exceptional living spaces of all kinds, including historic mid-century modern homes to contemporary new builds. We love selling houses, and we only sell houses that we love.

This much we know…

A home should lift the spirits. The rudimentary purpose of a building is to provide shelter, but in the hands of the right architect, it can frame space and capture light in a life-enhancing way. At West Coast Modern, we sell homes that inspire us. Our portfolio of homes is carefully curated and extensively researched, with images by editorial photographers.

A Specialist Approach with the Community

Our approach is shaped by ongoing conversations with architects, owners and prospective buyers, as well as our own research. This makes us uniquely placed to reach and communicate with design-literate buyers and sellers. By engaging passionately with our architectural community we single ourselves out as the team to use in finding design forward properties.
