Architect Oliver Lang, of Lang Wilson Practice in Architecture Culture, and Vanglo Sustainable Construction Group builder Martin Warren (who handled the interior design, as well) teamed up on the first Vanglo House in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood. The top floor outdoor lounge is a natural extension of the open plan top floor, giving the residents a private space to enjoy the outdoors. The house was designed to use specific materials and construction methods with the hope that maintenance down the line would be minimal and energy consumption would be lower.
