Chez Momo * Mid Century Modern * Water View

Come experience this unique mid century modern home designed by artist and educator B.C. Binning, a pioneer of the modernist movement on the West Coast. The house is an early example of International Style and stands as one with nature set into the sloped terrain. Towering Douglas Fir & Cedar trees standing guard. Zen vibe. Views to Burrard Inlet & Stanley Park. The 'Keay Residence, 1947' has been featured in exhibits at the West Vancouver Art Museum and in books & magazines. Tres Bon ! The space The house is located close to the water on Marine Drive and directly below Cypress Mountain in the exclusive Altamont neighborhood in West Vancouver. Chez Momo has 2 bedrooms - sleeps four comfortably plus a single day bed in the living room which is comfy and perfect for the 5th wheel.

When I restored & renovated the house it was divided into 2 private residences. I live in the other part :-) From your patio follow the stone staircase that leads to the enchanted garden & forest.

Other things to note Everyone loves Lighthouse Park - 20 blocks west of the house. Also the West Van Museum often has interesting exhibits with an emphasis on mid century modern art & architecture. The Capilano suspension bridge is popular. You can also hike all the way up along the Capilano River to the Cleveland Dam at the top (Capilano Regional Park). Spectacular scenery & a good workout. Lynn Valley suspension bridge is also nice for an adventure. Avid hikers love the Grouse Grind .. direct up Grouse Mountain.. where you can see bears at the wildlife refuge.. You can also take the gondola up. In the summer there is the Shipyards Night Market on fridays from 5-10pm (may 1 - sept 25). The Ambleside Farmers Market is on Sundays (in the summer months) from 11-4. Children like the fantasy playground at John Lawson Park near the pier. So many things to do.. Feel free to ask me questions. I'm happy to help :-) Take a look at Momo's Guidebook for more . . .
