Nestled between the ocean and the Coastal Mountain

Nestled between the ocean and the Coastal Mountain range is a community that, for the better part of a century, has been the epicenter of West Coast Modernism. What started as largely a domiciliary exploration has since proliferated across architectural typologies and design disciplines, the tenets of which continue to inform city building efforts to this day.

WEST COAST MODERN WEEK, presented by @westvancouverartmuseum, is a festival in celebration of this architectural movement. Returning July 8-13 on the North Shore, a week of lectures, tours, exhibitions, and socials awaits you. Get your tickets today and join us for this stellar design program.

The League is a proud partner of West Coast Modern Week, this year joined by pre-eminent architect John Patkau for a talk, at The Polygon Gallery, exploring the creation of architecture and design through unconventional material practice.

WEST COAST MODERN WEEK 2025
2025 July 8–13

You may remember, not long ago, this home being on

You may remember, not long ago, this home being on the market and featured in a CBC article as part of broader conversation about the loss of our modern architectural and cultural heritage. That was back in 2018 and is a sentiment that has seen some progress but not yet enough. Hwang House was one of the two houses featured in that article, which is now again on the market.

Designed by renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, Hwang House was a tribute to the ancestry of the Hwang family and the traditional Soo Chow houses of Northern China. Erickson drew inspiration from the paired courtyard structures of Soo Chow, incorporating a sequence of distinct courtyards, tall stucco walls, and symbolic planted mounds to echo the region’s hillscape. The residence blended cultural tradition with modern design through features like a large reflecting pool, exposed structural elements, and continuous skylights. The result was a harmonious integration of landscape, architecture, and heritage—hallmarks of Erickson’s culturally-sensitive, place-based, and contextual approach to design.

It is a work of art that we hope will find a new owner that values its architectural and cultural significance and stewards it into the future.

Hwang House is featured in the League's online Modern Places catalogue.

Dodek House, built in 1957-58, was designed for Mo

Dodek House, built in 1957-58, was designed for Morton and Irene Dodek. During a futile search for a new home, the young couple, on the recommendation of an electrician they knew, enlisted the inventive Ron Thom to create a home tailored to their needs. Thom, whose work was heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, gave them an education on design and building, and delivered to them an L-shaped home in plan, anchored by a gargantuan brick fireplace, which would later become a U-shaped home around a lush courtyard following an addition in 1967. The design, praised for its “delicate restraint, consistency of detail, and its excellent plan,” received the Architectural Institute of British Columbia Award of Honour in 1960. Recognized for its seamless indoor-outdoor integration, Japanese-influenced detailing, and emphasis on suburban privacy, it was designated a heritage building in 2005 for its cultural significance.

Since 1958, the Dodek Residence has been a much loved family home and, for the first time in its history, is in search of a new family to love and steward it into the future. It is a beautiful and unique home and we are optimistic that a new owner sensitive to the architecture will be found.

Dodek House is featured in the League's online Modern Places catalogue.

Meet Bruce Greenway, one of the upcoming speakers

Meet Bruce Greenway, one of the upcoming speakers at the League’s On the Boards talk for the Design Victorial Festival.

Bruce Greenway founded Greenway Studio Architecture to create nature-inspired buildings and spaces that seek to merge with the landscape they inhabit, approach environmental sustainability, and connect with what is meaningful to the people that live and work in them. The studio specializes in unique single family homes, yoga/wellness retreats, and community meeting places. It’s award winning work has been featured in local and international journals.

Bruce was introduced to architecture at 14 by a book with pictures of buildings by Antonio Gaudí and the ‘Organic’ Architecture of Bruce Goff and Frank Lloyd Wright. This early inspiration set his course in life and became the roots for his current work.

Pacific West Coast of BC has been home for 20 years. He loves to draw and paint the experiences of extended travel in Africa, Asia, South America, and coach his kid’s sports teams. He worked as a carpenter’s apprentice while in university and, with his wife, built the house in Victoria that they live in.
