The much-anticipated West Coast Modern Week, presented by British Pacific Properties, is returning to Vancouver this year, running from July 5 until July 10. The week celebrates modern architecture and design that pays homage to the West Coast and its unique topography. British Columbia is known for its abundant nature— thanks to its lush forests, sublime mountains, and the Pacific Ocean sitting at its feet, the West Coast presents a unique landscape for architecture. One with an equally unique set of challenges to overcome when building.

West Coast Modern Week aims to give patrons an in-depth look at the architecturally significant homes of Canada’s West Coast, while also nodding to local artistry along the way. Guests can purchase tickets to each event individually—there is truly something for everyone.
