Our Work Speaks for Itself

Every project's got its own story. We've spent years working alongside folks who wanted something different - homes that actually fit their land, buildings that don't fight nature but work with it. Here's a look at what we've been up to across BC's mountains and valleys.

Blackcomb Ridge Residence

Blackcomb Ridge Residence

Whistler, BC

This one was a challenge we loved. Family wanted a year-round home that could handle heavy snow but still feel light and connected to those mountain views. Went with local timber framing, passive solar heating that cuts their energy use by 60%, and a green roof that's basically invisible from the ridge above.

Pemberton Valley Farmhouse

Pemberton Valley Farmhouse

Pemberton, BC

1920s farmhouse that'd seen better days. Owners didn't wanna lose the character but needed modern comfort. We kept the original post-and-beam structure, added insulation without destroying the walls, and tucked in a geothermal system. Looks the same from outside, feels completely different inside.

Squamish Forest Retreat

Squamish Forest Retreat

Squamish, BC

Off-grid doesn't mean roughing it. This retreat sits on 40 acres of forest and runs completely independent. Solar panels, rainwater collection, the whole deal. Designed it to fit between existing trees - didn't cut down a single mature cedar. Client uses it as a writing studio and weekend getaway.

Alta Lake Contemporary

Alta Lake Contemporary

Whistler, BC

Young couple wanted lots of glass for the lake views but worried about heat loss. We angled the building to maximize southern exposure, used triple-pane windows throughout, and designed natural ventilation that actually works. Summer stays cool without AC, winter stays warm with minimal heating. And yeah, those views are pretty spectacular.

Function Junction Retrofit

Function Junction Retrofit

Whistler, BC

This '70s bungalow was bleeding energy like crazy. Owners' heating bills were brutal. We did a deep energy retrofit - new insulation, heat pump system, upgraded windows. Cut their energy consumption by 70% and they're way more comfortable. Sometimes the best architecture is fixing what's already there.

Emerald Estates Hillside

Emerald Estates Hillside

Whistler, BC

Steep slope, amazing southern exposure. Instead of fighting the hill, we worked with it - terraced the building into three levels that follow the natural grade. Each level's got its own outdoor space, and we integrated a rainwater system that feeds the gardens. Landscape and building are basically one thing here.

Pemberton Barn Conversion

Pemberton Barn Conversion

Pemberton, BC

Old hay barn from the '40s that was about to collapse. Client wanted to save it and turn it into a live-work space. We reinforced the original timber structure, added insulation between the beams, and created a studio/workshop on the ground floor with living quarters above. Kept all the original character - you can still see the hay hooks in the ceiling beams.

Nordic Trails Cabin

Nordic Trails Cabin

Callaghan Valley, BC

Small footprint, big ideas. 850 square feet that lives way bigger thanks to smart layout and tons of storage built into the walls. Wood stove provides most of the heat, and the super-insulated envelope means it stays toasty even at -20. Perfect ski-in/ski-out spot that doesn't dominate the landscape.

Rainbow Lodge Restoration

Rainbow Lodge Restoration

Whistler, BC

This historic lodge was built in the '30s and needed serious help. Foundation was failing, roof was leaking, but the bones were solid. We spent two years on this one, documenting every detail, sourcing period-appropriate materials, and upgrading systems without compromising the original design. Now it'll last another 90 years easy.

Sea-to-Sky Farm Studio

Sea-to-Sky Farm Studio

Squamish, BC

Working farm needed an office and workshop space that wouldn't eat up productive land. Built this on a rocky outcrop they couldn't farm anyway. Solar panels on the roof, natural daylighting means they barely use electric lights, and it's got views across the whole valley. Function meets location perfectly here.

Creekside Chalet Upgrade

Creekside Chalet Upgrade

Whistler, BC

Classic '80s chalet that was showing its age. Owners wanted to keep the alpine vibe but modernize everything else. New windows, better insulation, updated mechanical systems, and we reconfigured the interior to be more open. Still looks like a chalet, performs like a contemporary home.

Spruce Grove Residence

Spruce Grove Residence

Whistler, BC

Retired couple wanted a smaller place to age in - all on one level, easy to maintain, but still connected to the forest around them. Floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides, radiant floor heating, and wide doorways throughout. Simple, elegant, and they can stay here as long as they want.
