West 8th

In the heart of South Granville’s design district, West 8th by Kenstone Properties and OMB Architects exemplifies a distinctly Vancouver approach to modern luxury — understated, meticulous, and deeply rooted in craftsmanship.

Comprising two concrete buildings of four and eight storeys, West 8th contains only 20 three-bedroom residences, each designed with the precision and calm of a custom-built home. Expansive layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an emphasis on proportion and material honesty give the project its enduring appeal.

The interiors are defined by minimalist design and European refinement — Italian cabinetry, integrated appliances, stone surfaces, and engineered oak floors. The restrained material palette amplifies light and volume, allowing residents to personalize their environment while enjoying a foundation of exceptional quality.

At the centre of the development, a private courtyard and Zen garden form a tranquil retreat, extending the architecture’s clarity into the landscape. Secure underground parking with EV charging, keyless entry, and discreet amenities reinforce the sense of calm efficiency that defines every aspect of the project.

Completed in 2017, West 8th stands as a quiet benchmark for design integrity and urban living — a masterclass in balance, restraint, and livable modernism.
