On June 8th, the West Coast Modern League is hosting an exclusive opportunity to explore MA+HG’s award-winning 2020 Pink House & The Octopus, to engage in conversation and camaraderie with fellow design aficionados, and to enjoy appetizers & libations. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to catch remarks about the project from architects Marianne Amodio and Harley Grusko, as well as landscape architect Joseph Fry.

Completed in 2020, the Pink House & the Octopus stand as a gleaming example of a modern/heritage hybrid restoration with a contemporary infill befitting the historic eclecticism and multi-cultural fabric of its Vancouver neighbourhood. Designed by MA+HG Architects, with landscape by Hapa Collaborative, the project undertook to restore and modernize a century old character home while creating “Missing Middle,” multi-generational housing. A total work of art for an art-aligned owner in an artistic community, the home has been dubbed the Pink House & The Octopus for its historical reference to colour and the multi-limbed series of intersecting infill dwellings along the laneway. In 2024, the project was nominated for the prestigious Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize for Emerging Practice.
