West Coast Modern Week
West Coast Modern Week 2025 will take place from July 8 to 13.
West Coast Modern Week is a yearly celebration of West Coast Modernism, a distinct architectural style with deep roots in West Vancouver. Surrounded by forested mountains, an expansive ocean, and a lush rainforest, this natural setting presents unique challenges and opportunities that are reflected in the local architecture. Presented by the West Vancouver Art Museum, West Coast Modern Week features a series of events including talks, tours, parties and a unique Home Tour offering access to local, architecturally-significant homes.
