Skyline Sanctuary was designed as a long-term rental home that feels peaceful, modern, and rooted in its East Vancouver setting. The subtle blue tones of the stucco and roof - echoing both sky and mountain hues - inspired its name. By flipping the program, the home prioritizes views and comfort, creating a calm retreat for future tenants.
