On the eastern shores of Okanagan Lake in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada, four vacation homes occupy a small bench of rocky land. The homes are perched dramatically along the water’s edge, taking full advantage of the setting and views.
The two homes toward the center of the site reach out perpendicular to the lake. Tall windows boldly frame the view and provide a connection to the deck. The two flanking homes are oriented parallel to the lake front with a wider interior view to the lake.
The main floor of the units are open plan and provide sweeping views of the lake and hillsides beyond. Wide bi-fold doors on both unit types open up the inside of the homes to the outside, allowing the interior space to feel like a large porch or veranda during the summer months. The lower floors give direct access to a private beach and docks below.
