Ellipsis is a café and cocktail bar set within one of Arthur Erickson’s final architectural works, designed in 1996 in collaboration with Nick Milkovich. Once an art gallery, the space is defined by its soaring triangular form, abundant natural light, and a tranquil courtyard with a waterfall; and now, it’s returning to that original character. The project was approached from a lens of restoration and reinvention. Over time, layers were added; now, they’re being carefully peeled back to reveal the clarity of Erickson’s vision. The architecture’s geometry and openness guide the spatial experience, with twin bars flanking the entrance and anchoring a generous, adaptable floorplate designed for daily gatherings and special events alike.
