The highlight of this year’s West Coast Modern Week, is a fitting homage to the late great Arthur Erickson, whose centenary celebrations began on what would have been his hundredth birthday, 14 June.
Also on tour is the recently renovated home of Erickson’s long-time professional partner Geoffrey Massey. The well-preserved beach house is one of many examples of West Coast modernism in bucolic West Vancouver’s very vulnerable architectural treasure trove.1 and 2. Of the two homes, designed for twin brother steel manufacturers Helmut and Hugo Eppich respectively, the second one designed in 1979 is surely the diva.
