Not sure what I was looking at but it's found in Field, British Columbia. The chimney and the wall around the house are made from river rock taken from the Kicking Horse River that goes through the town.

It's pretty obviously derived from Voysey.
A Voyseyesque English Arts and Crafts house.

By the way, it's a very lovely little house, at least from this vantage point.

It looks Tudor to me. The stonework around the arched entry door, the shape of the roof, the grouping of the windows, and the stone chimney with the chimney pots are classic Tudor. The half-timbering is missing, but that is often the case. I am not familiar with Voysey.

Google "Voysey houses" and you will see many examples.
Here's a page on one of his great country houses, "The Orchard":
Thanks, but they also seem versions of Tudor to me. A lot of his elements in his houses seem very similar to "collegiate" gothic style. Perhaps he arranged these elements in his own way but I don't see him inventing them.

There's certainly a lot of the Tudor in Voysey's work. I'm good with calling it that if you want, V.
CFA Voysey is generally regarded as having created a pretty unique synthesis of characters in his work. So much so that Pevsner had him pegged as a proto-modernist, which I think is deluded, and self-serving. Voysey himself was apparently very irritated by Pevsner's characterization.

An aside: Isn't Field near Mount Burgess?
Home of Walcott's Quarry and the famous Burgess Shale.
