Perry Estate

Introducing The Perry Estate, a long-hidden Arthur Erickson masterpiece, concealed for over six decades behind an unassuming chain-link fence, now finally revealed.

Designed in 1963 as an artist’s retreat, this Japanese-inspired sanctuary has quietly sheltered some of Vancouver’s most influential creators, including Bill Reid and Frank Perry. Preserved by its current custodian, a modernist home collector from California, this estate remains untouched, its original details—a hidden courtyard, old-growth cedar, and mother-of-pearl inlays—intact.

A rare and unpublished Erickson, it now awaits its next custodian.

“Arthur Erickson is by far the greatest architect in Canada, and he may be the greatest on this continent.”

— Philip Johnson, Renowned American Architect

Arthur Erickson, Architect

Canada’s Most Revered Architect

Arthur Erickson CC FAIA FRAIC Hon FRIBA (June 14, 1924 – May 20, 2009) was a Canadian architect and urban planner. He studied at the University of British Columbia and, in 1950, received his B.Arch. (Honours) from McGill University. He is known as Canada's most influential architect and was the only Canadian architect to win the American Institute of Architects AIA Gold Medal (1986). When told of Erickson's award, Philip Johnson said, "Arthur Erickson is by far the greatest architect in Canada, and he may be the greatest on this continent."

He is known for winning the Simon Fraser University competition together with Geoffrey Massey in 1963, which launched his career; the Canadian Pavilion at the International Trade Fair in Tokyo (1965); the Museum of Anthropology (1976); the Robson Square and Law Courts (1979). Erickson also designed houses that are now considered seminal works, such as the Smith House II, which he designed for Marion and Gordon Smith; the Eppich Houses; the Graham House, which is now demolished. His personal home on Vancouver’s West Side, now called the Erickson Garden, is open to the public and managed by the Arthur Erickson Foundation.
