Featured in both Dwell Magazine and Nuvo Magazine, this 2215-square-foot home is nestled in the forest of BC’s Sunshine Coast. Special attention was given to working closely with the clients, a landscape designer and welding fabricator, who wanted a modern house with minimal detailing that would age well and feel like a cozy home in the forest. The large, south-facing windows frame the property’s redwood, fir and hemlock trees and allow plenty of natural light to flood the open-plan interior spaces to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The interior of the home reflects the owners’ desire for a minimalistic feel with a blend of polished-concrete, fir floors, and painted tongue-and-groove planks on the ceilings throughout. The upstairs bathroom, adorned in deep green tile, is the most colourful space in the house. Sustainable features such as rainwater harvesting and a green roof, making it a truly eco-friendly and beautiful custom home.
