Achtem House (1965)

3225 Beach Drive, Oak Bay

Architect: John Di Castri

Di Castri at his most Wrightian, from a clerestory central hall the house reaches out horizontally through subsidiary wings and the period landscape. Trellises and fences are designed with meticulous care. Building materials reinforce the plane lines, bold facia boards skirt the roof lines above the coursed flat brickwork.
