Margaret and Romeo
Desjardins House (1955)
2887 Colquitz Avenue,
Tillicum, Saanich
Architect: John
Di Castri
Sited
on a sloping lot, the geometic planes and volumes are never-the-less
adapted to the site. Window and porch roofs extend out of the imaginary
grids, defined by horizontal and vertical facia boards in sharp colour
contract to the white stucco wall surfaces. With such houses Di Castri
introduces a new, but still indiginous, design vocabulary to his Victoria
clientelle.
