Geometric House
Introduction
WEST COAST MODERN presents THE GEOMETRIC HOUSE inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Perched on a rocky bluff is a masterpiece designed by Ron Thom that appears to be sailing into the Pacific Ocean. This lovingly restored home was built in 1964 for naval architect Dennis Case and his wife Adele. More of a collaboration than a commission, the Geometric House combined Case’s love of the sea with diagonal and multi-dimensional floor plan, creating a home that according to the district of West Vancouver, is "one of the finest examples of Ron Thom's creative abilities."
Book your tour to experience how Ron Thom adapted Frank Lloyd Wright’s hexagonal floor plans that uses nearly all 60- or 120-degree angles and see a collection of lighting and furniture Thom custom made for the house.

Ron Thom
Enigma of Canadian Architecture
Ron Thom was born in Penticton in 1923 and studied painting after serving in the RCAF during World War II. He graduated from Vancouver School of Art (now known as Emily Carr University of Art and Design) in 1947. He did not have formal architectural training, but went on to become a registered architect and was eventually made partner before opening his own firm.
Thom was interested in architecture as a complete work of art, from the first inspiration to the execution of the smallest details. Many of his designs were celebrated and high-profile, such as Massey College, Trent University, and the Shaw Festival Theatre. He was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1980 for his contributions to architecture and design. His passing in 1986 leaves us with a lasting legacy.
