About the Architect
Rix Reinecke is credited with designing the iconic "Ocean Towers" apartment building in Vancouver BC, during the mid-to-late 1950s. He was part of architectural firm Chow, Nelson and Reinecke.
Ocean Towers is a 19-storey landmark building in Vancouver's West End, a wide slab of a building overlooking English Bay near the Sylvia Hotel. It's unique -- truly one of a kind -- in a distinctive post-modern design.
Overlooking palm trees and English Bay this tower has a commanding presence because of its width in design and its unobstructed views.
It was this building that initiated the 1956 zoning bylaw, as the Technical Planning Board could then refer any development proposal to the Architectural Advisory Panel appointed by council in 1956.
Morton Avenue, just one block long, was named after John Morton (1834-1912) who bought the entire West End (540 acres) in 1862, for $550.75.
