Introduction


Ansoku Vancouver – Boutique Living in Shaughnessy

Welcome to Ansoku Vancouver

Ansoku by Lightwell Homes is an exclusive collection of six thoughtfully designed homes in Vancouver’s sought-after Shaughnessy neighbourhood at 1666 W 8th Avenue. This boutique project offers a mix of detached and duplex-style residences, featuring three- and four-bedroom layouts designed for balance, comfort, and architectural beauty.

Prime Shaughnessy Location

Situated in one of Vancouver’s most desirable areas, Ansoku enjoys a peaceful residential setting surrounded by mature trees and charming streets. Residents are minutes from VanDusen Botanical Garden, Queen Elizabeth Park, and the vibrant Oakridge Centre redevelopment. The neighbourhood also offers convenient transit options, including the R4 RapidBus and local routes along Oak Street. Families will appreciate nearby schools such as Shaughnessy Elementary and Quilchena Elementary.

A Project Rooted in Design and Intention

Ansoku Vancouver was conceived as a boutique-scale development emphasizing quality over quantity. With only six homes in total, each residence is crafted to evoke calm, comfort, and design clarity. The concept is to create “a moment of pause in the pace of the everyday.” Lightwell Homes focuses on a human-centered approach that blends modern architecture with timeless design.

The architectural vision for Ansoku was developed by Longpre Architecture, merging Japanese serenity with West Coast modernism and subtle European influences. The resulting style is referred to as “Japavarian Modern” – a distinctive blend of natural warmth, simplicity, and structural harmony.

Interiors and Living Experience

Inside each home, the focus is on creating spaces that feel grounded and restorative. Natural materials, soft neutral tones, and clean lines define the interior design. Open-concept layouts flow seamlessly into outdoor terraces and private patios, enhancing natural light and livability.

Flexible living spaces allow for family gatherings, remote work, or quiet reflection. Kitchens are sleek and functional, combining modern cabinetry with elegant finishes. Primary bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms and generous closet space, ensuring a sense of retreat within the home.

Floor Plans and Home Types

Ansoku Vancouver offers two main types of homes within the six-residence community:

  • Detached 3-bedroom homes ranging from approximately 1,476 to 1,519 square feet
  • Duplex-style homes with 3 bedrooms plus den or 4 bedrooms, ranging from approximately 1,665 to 1,682 square feet

Each home features private outdoor areas, secure parking, and an efficient layout that maximizes natural light and usable space.

Pricing, Deposit Structure, and Strata Fees

Prices begin around $1,999,900 for detached residences and from $2,049,900 to $2,249,900 for duplex homes, before taxes. A 5% deposit is typically required, with payments structured through the construction period. Buyers are responsible for GST at the time of completion, with potential eligibility for partial rebates depending on purchase value.

Estimated strata fees are projected at roughly $0.20 per square foot monthly, covering maintenance, landscaping, and insurance. Early registrants may benefit from first access to available homes and preferred pricing.
