A R C H I T E CT U R E 45 Ciccozzi Architecture The practice of architecture is where art and technology intersect. Such is the philosophy that steers the team at Ciccozzi Architecture—and their striking work is testament to the careful balance between those two guiding principles. The award- winning firm also strongly believes that the best design comes not from a predetermined aesthetic but rather reveals itself through a process of discovery. Specializing in both custom residential, multi- residential, and commercial design, Ciccozzi Architecture's expertise extends through all phases of a project including conceptual design, master planning, detailed design, production, and construction administration. The company upholds a cooperative, interactive design process and highly personalized service that closely engages clients throughout the entire project to ensure both design excellence and economy. With a collaborative team of architects, intern architects and technologists, Ciccozzi Architecture drives a culture of innovation and inspired solutions that advance each client's unique mission. And, the results speak for themselves. Their quality projects offer elegant, innovative architectural expression and lasting value throughout British Columbia and beyond, with international work completed in the United States, Mexico, Japan, Singapore, and China. LEFT: From the very start, this West Vancouver Private Residence in Horseshoe Bay communicates a striking dialogue of subtlety and strength in its West Coast contemporary design. The massive, arched roof provides an immediately engaging entry point as it canopies the walkway bridge that crosses a pond to the front door. A garden of stepping stones amidst lush landscaping further creates a haven for the home's opaque façade in which the clear glass entrance only hints at what will unfold inside—the property was designed to celebrate the stunning waterfront views of Howe Sound from every room.
