About the home

The Helmut and Hildegard Eppich House, located in West Vancouver, B.C., on a 1.12-acre estate, is one of Canada’s most important modernist homes designed by Arthur Erickson. Concrete and glass merge, harmonizing with the natural surroundings through a calm expression of material and form. From the street, it appears unassuming, but upon entry, this iconic masterpiece unfolds dramatically, revealing Erickson’s genius across four levels. The boundary between indoor and outdoor blurs, offering vistas of mature gardens and a tranquil reflecting pond. Remodelled by Battersby Howat to contemporary standards, it’s minutes from the sea and mountains, promising an unmatched turnkey lifestyle. The Eppich House—a standing testament to modernist design—awaits its next custodian.
