Presenting the Writer’s Penthouse. A modernist sanctuary perched in the sky, this rare retreat offers calm above Vancouver’s creative heart. A five-year project shaped by Western Living Magazine’s Designer of the Year, Splyce Design, the rooftop penthouse combines two historic units into a seamless whole, framing an orchestra of views over the ocean, mountains, and city. Here, an award-winning, internationally published author found daily inspiration—crafting best-selling books as fog drifted like a veil between sea and sky. Now, it awaits to inspire its next custodian.
