Hendry Compound | HB Design | 2026 | 加拿大
Set in a quiet, tree-lined pocket of North Vancouver, Canada, this carefully composed home reads as a modern compound shaped by both restraint and connection.Spanning two adjacent properties divided by a laneway, Hendry Compound – designed by Garret Cord Werner Architects & Interior Designers in collaboration with HB Design and Donohoe Living Landscapes – brings together a main residence and a guest and pool house, unified by a shared architectural language, layered interiors and a landscape that beautifully binds it all together.
For Garret Werner, founder and principal of his eponymous practice based in Seattle, Washington, the location of Hendry Compound resonated. Having grown up in North Vancouver, his understanding of the area’s soft light, mature greenery and understated residential character informed a design approach that is calm, grounded and deliberately restrained. “North Vancouver is quiet and settled,” he says. “From the outset, the design needed to belong here – composed and respectful on the outside while opening inward to gardens, courtyards and outdoor rooms.”Hendry Compound comprises a three-level, four-bedroom main house of approximately 393 square metres, as well as a guest and pool house spanning around 174 square metres. The pool house is conceived as a relaxed social hub, organised around an open-plan living space with expansive sliding doors that dissolve the threshold between inside and out, opening onto a sunken lounge and pool terrace. A gym and spa are discreetly separated to ensure privacy, while a quiet office occupies the upper level. Across the laneway, the main house unfolds in a linear fashion, with open-plan living spaces on the ground floor, bedrooms above and then a guest suite in the basement – designed, as interior designer Shannon Bradner notes, to support everyday life as seamlessly as entertaining.
“What drew us to this project was the combination of beautiful architecture, a site with great potential and clients whose vision aligned with ours,” says Bradner, a partner at Vancouver-based HB Design. Her interiors are anchored in a neutral, earthy palette inspired by the tones of the North Shore, layered with darker, timeless finishes. Brick, stone and warm timber are softened with tactile fabrics and calibrated light. Custom millwork integrates storage into the architecture, while expansive glazing invites in the outdoors. “In one sentence, this is a family-centred home,” she adds, “layering durable natural materials, light and subtle details to create a calm, warm environment.”The landscape, designed by Ryan Donohoe of Vancouver practice Donohoe Living Landscapes, is where the project’s defining constraint becomes its greatest strength. Rather than treating the laneway as a division, it is reimagined as a shared garden condition – open to the public realm and defined by layered planting that encourages casual, neighbourly interaction. A custom steel fencing system spans both sites, shifting in height and alignment to guide movement, frame views and create privacy without enclosure. Even the boulevard is treated as an extension of the garden, planted with grasses and seasonal perennials that soften the street edge. “The project is shaped by a condition of separation,” says Donohoe. “Instead of seeing the laneway as a limitation, we treated it as an organising structure – allowing the landscape to operate as one continuous environment that connects the homes to each other and to the neighbourhood.”
Throughout, indoor and outdoor living areas are carefully aligned: stacking doors open onto terraces, planting flows uninterrupted to the pool’s edge and water features guide arrival through sound as much as sight. Together, architecture, interiors and landscape operate as a single, composed whole in Hendry Compound – elegant, deeply rooted in place and attuned to both family life and the wider community beyond its boundaries.
