Aqua Vista Penthouse

Perched above Vancouver’s iconic False Creek, Aqua Vista Penthouse redefines West Coast luxury through a modern Art Deco lens — luminous, sculptural, and timeless. Designed for a distinguished couple transitioning from their longtime Shaughnessy estate, the residence transforms downsizing into an opportunity for refinement, renewal, and graceful longevity. Every space balances elegance, functionality, and adaptability, creating a home that is as beautiful as it is future-ready.

The foyer sets the tone with wood grain panels and gold inlays that shimmer like ripples on the water. The kitchen exemplifies refined functionality, where Calacatta Gold surfaces meet a sculptural island and backlit quartz bar — marrying glamour with accessibility. Open layouts connect kitchen, dining, and living areas, maximizing daylight and reflective finishes while maintaining fluid circulation. The dining room, grounded by a live-edge table and geometric chandelier, transforms from a sunlit gathering place to an intimate evening retreat.

In the living room, floor-to-ceiling glazing invites panoramic views of sea and sky, while layered tones of navy, white, and quartzite provide a serene backdrop for curated art and music. The primary suite embraces comfort and foresight, blending soft neutrals with adaptable design strategies to support aging in place. Office and family lounge spaces extend quiet luxury, designed for productivity, social connection/relaxation.

Accessibility and wellness are seamlessly integrated throughout. Zero-threshold entries, wide turning radii, lever-style handles, slip-resistant flooring, rounded countertops, and reinforced walls ensure safety and adaptability. Layered task lighting, circadian-aligned smart lighting, motorized window coverings, aromatherapy ventilation, and contrasting floor-wall palettes enhance comfort, visibility, and mental well-being.

Sustainability and longevity are embedded at every level: energy-efficient HVAC, radiant underfloor heating, sensor-controlled LED lighting, WaterSense plumbing, low-VOC finishes, reuse of millwork, and adaptive infrastructure reduce environmental impact while future-proofing the home. Multi-functional layouts, ergonomic circulation, and durable low-maintenance materials ensure enduring value/flexibility.

Aqua Vista Penthouse is more than an apartment — it is a living canvas where light, architecture, and life converge. It exemplifies compact luxury, sustainable innovation, and spatial intelligence, offering a home that evolves gracefully with its inhabitants while celebrating the beauty of West Coast living.
