Westcot Elementary School

Westcot Elementary presents a domestic vocabulary of low pitched roofs, ribbon windows and wooden siding that is a conscious departure from the traditional and monumental appreance of earlier schools. It has been very well maintained in its orginal condition.

Chartwell Elementary School
1300 Chartwell Drive
Duncan McNab & Associates, Architects
1966

West Vancouver Schools often have dramatic view sites. Chartwell Elementary, orginally known as Sentinel Elementary, takes full advantage of its location at the crest of a large hill; the roof edges echo the mountains to the north, allowing for large windows facing the views. Laminated timber beams are used in a combination of flat and low pitched roofs, with folded roof plates providing an expressionistic form that punctuates the hill from below.
