Eppich House 2
By Arthur Erickson
Project Overview
We had the profound honour of documenting one of Canada’s most iconic modernist residences—Eppich House II, a West Vancouver masterpiece designed by the legendary Arthur Erickson. Built in 1988 for steel magnate Hugo Eppich, this architectural landmark is widely regarded as Erickson’s most complete residential work, celebrated for its innovative use of glass and steel, and its seamless integration with the lush natural landscape.
Approach
In a rare and intimate production opportunity, we conducted exclusive interviews with original homeowner Hugo Eppich and architect Nick Milkovich, Erickson’s longtime collaborator and project partner on the home. Their insights provided an unmatched depth to the narrative, elevating the final production beyond visual storytelling into an emotional and intellectual tribute to architectural genius.
Spanning multiple days of on-site filming, we crafted two cinematic videos that explore both the design philosophy behind Eppich House II and its continued relevance in the world of contemporary architecture and sustainable design. Every frame was carefully considered to reflect Erickson’s vision, spatial poetry, and respect for nature—qualities that resonate deeply with today’s architects and design purists.
Results: Celebrating Architectural Integrity with Global Reach
The Eppich House II project transcended traditional real estate or promotional media—it became a living archive of architectural brilliance. Through our immersive, documentary-style video production, we created a timeless visual record that now serves as both an educational tool and a global showcase of Erickson’s architectural legacy.
The films received significant attention from design and architecture communities around the world, shared across platforms by industry leaders, design institutions, and architecture-focused publications. The videos sparked meaningful engagement—not only from potential buyers and developers but from fellow architects, students, and preservation advocates.
