Overview
Watershed House by Ernest Wellwood is now live online.
As the story reveals, "A home woven almost completely into its landscape." Built in 1953 by engineer Ernest Wellwood in Vancouver's S.W. Marine neighbourhood, this post-and-beam residence unfolds through five garden rooms designed by UBC landscape architect Dean Gregory, with ponds, a running creek, a river-rock fireplace, and a granite chimney built from monument offcuts — held and shaped by one family for nearly four decades. Read the full story online and discover why this quietly considered residence represents a defining chapter in West Coast Modern architecture.
