The Butterfly is a 9,670 square foot contemporary residence constructed entirely of concrete and steel — no wood framing — on a 17,400 square foot lot in the Altamont neighbourhood of West Vancouver. The home draws its name from the distinctive butterfly roofline, a paired inverted-V form that defines the facade and creates dramatic interior ceiling planes visible through floor-to-ceiling glazing on both levels.
The main floor is organized as a continuous open-plan volume connecting the living room, chef's kitchen with walnut cabinetry and black stone waterfall island, and a formal dining area flanked by backlit glass display cabinetry. A double-height entry foyer features nero marquina marble flooring and a cantilevered floating staircase with glass railings and black marble treads set against a full-height calacatta marble accent wall.
Six bedrooms occupy the upper level, including a primary suite with herringbone oak floors, a marble feature wall, and unobstructed views across the harbour to the city skyline. A covered upper terrace with loungers extends the living space outdoors. The lower level houses a private home theater with leather power recliners and acoustic panelling, an entertainment bar and lounge with projection screen and backlit spirits display, a temperature-controlled wine cellar with walnut racking, and a wellness suite comprising a cedar-lined sauna with backlit Himalayan salt stone walls and an adjacent steam shower.
Outside, a resort-style swimming pool with glass mosaic tiles is set into a landscaped terrace with sun loungers, mature plantings, and direct sightlines to the ocean. The property is located within walking distance of Dundarave Village, the West Vancouver Seawall, and the North Shore's beaches and trail networks.
