Long before Arthur Erickson built many of Canada’s most iconic buildings, he was a young architect for a family looking to build a home in the Alberta prairies. Deeply private, the Dyde family gave him space to explore his bold vision for a Canadian architectural style, with one caveat — the home was a secret, not to be published or promoted.
