This three-bedroom home was created with adaptability and longevity in mind. Two of the bedrooms serve dual purposes—one as a home office and the other as a gym—but can easily transform into guest rooms when family comes to visit.

Thanks to its southern exposure and strategic siting, the home meets BC Energy Step Code 4, using solar heat gain to reduce energy demands in the cooler months. Minimal excavation was needed, and the concrete foundation was scribed and doweled to follow the natural topography, preserving the site’s integrity.

The design emphasizes indoor-outdoor connection, using large expanses of glazing, flush transitions, and a seamless continuation of materials to blur the line between inside and out. To future-proof the home and support sustainable living, a rainwater harvesting system was installed, reducing reliance on potable water for outdoor use.

In response to rising construction costs, the original square footage was scaled back—but without compromising on quality or design intent. With careful planning, we retained the soul of the project while keeping it financially viable.
