About this home:
Built in a neighbourhood with strict requirements for craftsman style design, this elegant home exceeds the neighbourhood in quality, efficiency, and style, while keeping a few secrets to itself inside.
Benefits and Features
Energy-Efficiency Benefits:
- Low carbon concrete and all wood framing and construction ensure this home has a lower carbon footprint.
- Super-insulation and careful attention to the seasons of the sun ensure that this home is comfortable year round.
- Automated exterior louvred shades protect the interior from the Valley’s punishing west summer sun. This home needs no cooling, even during periods of extreme heat.
- A small wood stove and bedroom baseboards deliver warmth during heating season.
- Built net zero ready, after a year in the house, the homeowner added solar panels that deliver just enough power to zero-out the annual energy bills (despite having a full scale commercial kitchen and legal secondary suite in the basement!).
Design Features:
- Hand finished, milk-painted Douglas Fir Ceilings
- Reclaimed wood floors
- Aluminum clad, wood framed tilt-and-turn windows and a massive lift-and-slide door provide smooth, easy access to the exterior decks.
- The thick-wall construction and super insulation provides another benefit – quiet! Located adjacent to a busy athletic field, the home is always peaceful inside.
- The creative and artistic homeowner worked alongside our crews, providing labour and careful finishing touches that have elevated the design quality of the home to be to a finely appointed haven.
