SOLID AS A ROCK

There is plenty of drama to the latest project from Londonbased architects Gort Scott perched high up on a rocky crag in the Canadian mountain resort of Whistler. With vertigo-inducing terraces, this concrete and timber house allows residents to fully immerse themselves in the natural environment. ‘The house grows out of the landscape but isn’t deferential to it, neither does it dominate it,’ says studio co-founder Fiona Scott. ‘We feel the house and the rock are better for each other.’ (gortscott.com).
