Nordic Inspired Design with Panoramic Views

It was extremely important to our clients to have a home with a strong connection with nature and an abundance of natural light. We drew inspiration from Nordic architecture, which has heavily influenced Canadian Architect since the 1950’s, due to its similar climate and available resources.

Nordic Architecture

Nordic Architecture has a beautiful connection with natural light, due to the low levels it receives for much of the year. Natural light can decrease Seasonal Affective Disorder, helps circulate of circadian rhythm, while increasing our serotonin, melatonin and vitamin D levels. It can improve our productivity, while reducing our eye fatigue and stress levels.

4 Seasons

We carefully modelled the site topography, trees and surrounding mountains to a high detail and took exact coordinates and elevations with a drone, which allowed us to run extremely accurate sun path diagrams for all 4 seasons.

Interior Design

This project holds a special place in our hearts—not only did we design the architecture, but we also had the opportunity to lead the interior design. Our Lead Designer approached the home with a deep focus on creating a space that truly feels like home for the entire family. Thoughtful attention was given to functionality, flow, and comfort, with every room telling a story.

The children’s rooms were each designed to reflect their individual personalities—unique, fun, and made just for them. A built-in study nook encourages focus and creativity, while a combined gym and media room offers a perfect spot for both movement and downtime. The overall palette and materials echo the natural environment outside, reinforcing the connection to nature and enhancing the calming, grounded feel throughout the home.

Treetop Feel

We pushed as high as we could into the treetops to create a treehouse feel, whilst giving a complete panorama view of Wedge, Blackcomb and Whistler Mountains, as well as Green Lake and the Valley below. We have lots of glazing to allow light to enter the building, but these are all protected with large overhangs to avoid any overheating.

Up high on the decks you are surrounded by wooden elements to feel connected to the trees, while down low you are surrounded by natural stone to feel more grounded and safe. This project is truly embedded in its surroundings.
