B.C. BINNING HOUSE
Experience
a plan to preserve an iconic canadian residence
The Binning House is a one-storey house located on a sloping lot on a quiet residential street in West Vancouver. The house is set amongst mature landscaping and overlooks Burrard Inlet and Vancouver. Designed in 1939 (and completed in 1941) by owner and artist B.C. Binning, the house is a very early example of the Modern architectural movement in Canada. Binning’s progressive views, eclectic mix of training and mentors, and the time he spent in Europe during the 1930s helped him create a residence that features a spectacular mix of art and architecture, among the first of its kind in Canada.
