In the coveted enclave of Pemberton Heights Estates on Vancouver’s North Shore, The Nest is a sculptural residence that elevates the principles of West Coast modernism. Designed by architect Shawn Rassekh in close collaboration with interior designer Paola Castelo, the home reflects a deeply personal vision, one grounded in timeless design, natural materiality and a reverence for place.

Conceived as a sanctuary for art and family life, the architecture unfolds in a series of cascading forms that mirror the surrounding hillside, with layered terraces opening to sweeping views of the city skyline, ocean and mountains beyond.

Set on nearly three-quarters of an acre (.3 hectares), the residence offers rare spatial privacy while located just minutes from Vancouver’s urban core. Venetian plaster walls, European walnut joinery and expansive glass elements speak to a commitment to craftsmanship and connection to nature. Inside, spaces are designed to dissolve boundaries between indoors and out, offering a calm, tactile environment for reflection, creativity and everyday living.

More than a residence, The Nest stands as a considered response to its environment, crafted not to follow trends, but to endure beyond them.
