One of our most exciting projects is on the mountainside above Kelowna BC. This 6,500 square foot home was a full-home design featuring a dramatically angled floor plan allowing for optimal views and natural light. It’s angled roofline mimics the surrounding mountain landscape. The interior is dramatic, simple, elegant and timeless with spectacular views from every room.

The project had many unique challenges - blasting the mountain to create a flat plateau for the home and pool; burying half of the lower level into the mountainside; construction the long access road up to the home and installing the geothermal heating and cooling system into the rock.

Open to the Great room but with a sense of space created by the walnut wood archway. A recessed trough in the ceiling spills light onto the dining table.

The up/down lighting highlights natural stone columns on the interior and exterior.

The large U-shaped kitchen work area has appliance storage that recesses into the wall behind the backsplash, maintaining full counter depth.

The client opted for a U shaped kitchen rather than an island based layout. They also requested that the kitchen be separate from the dining and living areas of the home.

The large storage wall contains a dish pantry, food pantry, wall ovens and a large refrigerator and freezer

Even the staircase to the lover level is highly detailed with an angled niche and floating bulkhead.

This has to be one of the most beautiful pool settings that we have every seen. It required blasting the mountain to create a flat plateau for the home and a recesses into solid rock for the pool.

With breathtaking views down to the lake and city of Kelowna.

Terraces were designed off the master bedroom and kitchen to provide shelter from the sun and rain as well as giving intimate seating options for entertaining guests.
