Also see the colour-corrected version of this photo in this photostream (next in the set). This one is as I found it in "Inside Today's Home", 1975
by Ray and Sarah Faulkner
p. 453
"Architect Arthur Erickson composed a home in Vancouver, British Columbia, as a series of interlocking horizontal terraces. Natural materials and a reflecting pool relate the structure to the lake and rocky cliff on either side. Tall panes of glass and vertically ribbed cedar walls re surmounted by horizontal wooden slabs that prject beyond corners as geometrical accents."
[I'm pretty sure they don't mean "lake," as this is a manmade pond right next to the ocean.]
