Starship House
Introduction
West Coast Modern presents the rare opportunity to acquire a collectible work of art.
Landed on a mountainside in West Vancouver, the Starship House is far beyond one of British Columbia’s finest modern houses. It is an example of the magic that results when a client trusts and honours the architect’s vision — and of equal importance, the beginning of Vancouver becoming a world-class city destined for a bright future.
In 1967, Vancouver was brimming with optimistic energy. Tasked with completing a daring example of modernist architecture, Arthur Erickson effectively responded with a house in the form of a sculptural, intergalactic spacecraft. Much like a mothership poised for take-off, the machine-like, geometric design is equally organic. The warmth of continuous, diagonal wood and boundless, natural light respond to the sloping north shore mountains — suggesting a structure that has forever been part of the land (or that fell quietly to earth).
The Starship House is a striking vision for the future that catapulted Erickson’s career and paved the way for his audacious body of international work.

“Sometimes I look back on the projects I’ve done and I think, how did they let me get away with this?”

Arthur Erickson
Canada’s ‘Starchitect’
Considered Canada's greatest architect of all time, Arthur Erickson designed some of Lower Mainland's most prominent structures. This includes Robson Square and the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British
Columbia, both in Vancouver, and Simon Fraser University in Burnaby. His buildings are mainly built with concrete and glass, and were designed to respond to the location’s climate.
