“The West House is a rare piece of architecture with direct lineage in western Canada’s midcentury modernist movement through its Bill Boucock design. Consistent with Boucock’s design style, the house serves as an exploration in livable sculpture that is also highly functional for living.”

West House is a late-20th century home designed by prominent Canadian midcentury modern architect Bill Boucock and located in the idyllic natural community of Springbank. Boucock’s expressivist approach to geometry pairs with a nuanced approach to material and a highly practical floorplan to create a livable piece of art with appeal for those of many different architectural tastes. As was also characteristic of the architect’s projects, this home features a strong connection to nature through its rural setting and outward-facing rooms, as well its large forested plot.

The special sculptural moments throughout this home provide nuanced animation for all of life’s daily moments and accentuate the open plan layout’s potential for art, furniture, and activity. Furthermore, the location just outside the city’s west boundary puts it in an ideal position to take advantage of the quiet rural setting and the high quality amenities of west Calgary. Multiple public and private schools, grocery stores, fine restaurants, recreation opportunities, and the 69th Street C-Train station sit within only a five minute drive.
