Macdonald House (1961/62)

1961 Crescent Road, Gonzales, Oak Bay

Architect: Alan Hodgson

Scale and materials respect the streetscape in this beach-front enclave which was originally developed as summer cottages for Victoria residents. The form and post-and-beam open-plan construction are decidedly modern, giving a formal expression to interior spaces, in particular from the front with its bold box-canopy entrance.
