High Rise Railings for the Iconic Vancouver House
In the heart of Vancouver’s growing Beach District, the stunning Rodney Graham’s Spinning Chandelier isn’t the only standout feature that catches people’s eyes. The Vancouver House, completed in 2020, has also become a recognizable architectural symbol for the waterfront community. Four years after its completion, it continues to stand out for its key architectural innovation and design excellence.
For a project of this significance, every detail matters—from the building materials used to the expertise of the contractors involved. At East & West Alum Craft, we were proud to contribute to bringing this vision to life by crafting custom anodized aluminum balcony systems for each unit. Our team’s experience and commitment to excellence ensured the Vancouver House achieved the aesthetic and structural integrity it deserved.
Explore the Vancouver House Development
The Vancouver House is a striking neo-futurist skyscraper that defies gravity with its bold, twisting design. This 59-floor skyscraper overlooks some of Vancouver’s most stunning views—False Creek, Burrard Inlet, the North Shore Mountains, and beyond—the Vancouver House offers unparalleled vistas of the city’s beauty. From the high-quality balconies in the luxury units, you can see from Kitsilano to the University of British Columbia.
In addition to the high-rise tower, the development includes several low-rise buildings, blending residential, retail, and commercial spaces. The ground floor features a mix of amenities, including University Canada West, a grocery store, and a selection of restaurants, creating a vibrant hub in the heart of the city.

Key Architectural & Design Highlights
Dramatic Shape and Structural Design
Developed by Westbank Corporation and designed by renowned Danish architect Bjarke Ingels, the building rises from a triangular base and transforms into a rectangular structure as it ascends. This shift is dramatic with the triangular base being 6,000 square feet and the rectangular upper structure being 14,000 square feet. When you look at this iconic fixture from the ground it seems to spiral through the Vancouver skyline like a tornado!
Custom Balconies With Aluminum Railings by East & West Alum Craft
One of the most notable elements of the Vancouver House is the custom balconies for each residential unit, manufactured and installed by East & West Alum Craft. These anodized aluminum balconies feature a standout honeycomb texture and are adorned with copper-cladded soffits and wall accents. This special design creates a radiant effect when illuminated at night.
The balconies’ pixelated design allows for deep, spacious outdoor areas, which enhances the aesthetic and functional aspects of the building for its residents and visitors. At night, these glowing balconies give the Vancouver House a jewel-box-like brilliance that can be seen throughout the Beach District.
Distinctive Floor Plans
The Vancouver House boasts 388 residential suites, each designed to take advantage of the building’s distinctive shape. With more than 220 unique floor plans, every unit offers the feel of an exclusive living experience.
The design’s complexity ensures that layouts aren’t all identical, providing residents with spaces tailored to the building’s dynamic architecture. The expertly crafted balconies further enhance these unique living spaces, offering both style and practicality in a truly one-of-a-kind building.
Elevate Your Next Development with Quality and Experience
The Vancouver House earned international acclaim even before its completion—CNN naming it one of the most anticipated buildings of 2020. Now this architectural masterpiece stands as the 7th tallest building in Vancouver, featuring over 710,000 square feet of residential, retail, and commercial spaces. A project of this size required not only visionary design but also expert craftsmanship and the highest quality building materials.
East & West Alum Craft played an important role in making sure the building’s custom aluminum balconies met the highest standards of precision and durability. Our team’s 50+ years of experience and commitment to quality helped bring this iconic structure to life.
