Architect Peter Smith and
his wife Trudy wanted
everything in a house and
were fortunate enough to get
it. Ten years ago they
designed and built a stunning
contemporary home in the
Lookout Point area of Deep
Cove. Aptly named,
‘Lookout .Point is high on a
rocky cliff (really high) and
commands a 180 degree view
from looking up Indian Arm
to the north-east, through a
sweeping of ocean and
islands to the south-west
view down Burrard inlet.

Although many Cove
homes have steep lots with
many steps and = steep
driveways, the Smith house
has a level driveway.

There are four levels to
the house counting the crawl
space and workshop. The
2,000 sq.ft. includes three
bedrooms and a large office
on the top floor, a living and
dining room that joins the
deck and a nearby kitchen
with a skylight and wrap-
around glass for the view.
There is also a double car-
port; laundry room, and a
secluded deck off the master
bedroom.

Another convenient
feature is the built-in vac-
cuum system. There is-also a
gas fireplace.

The panhandle shaped lot,
being a rocky knoll has the
natural landscaping and re-
quires no maintenance.
