A touch of glass: Stunning home designed by architect Arthur Erickson goes on sale for £10 million 

This stunning abode looks more like a work of modern art than a humble home, as it’s been described as a three-tier masterpiece, a waterfall of steel and glass.

Priced at a whopping £10 million, the four-bedroom, five-bathroom mansion floods with light and is surrounded by luscious greenery.

Located in Vancouver, Canada, it was designed by famed architect Arthur Erickson and was built for Hugo Eppich, who co-founded a Canadian fabrication company.

Erickson designed the 5,287-square-foot home in 1979, and construction began in the late 80s.

Many of the furnishings in the home were Erickson-designed and then manufactured by Eppich’s company.

Across the three tiers, floor-to-ceiling windows accompany the likes of wood ceilings and chrome pillars, creating a modern, open look.

The home – 1056 Groveland Road – also includes a pool and sits on 1.2 acres of private land, not visible from the road.
