a platform was constructed so that lake views can be enjoyed from the built-in bed over the obstructions of existing thermal panels and air conditioner units.

Exterior Shades cover the windows and doors of this home. Without the hot sun shining in, the air conditioner does not have to work as hard.

Our clients were clear on what they sought for their backyard transformation; an outdoor space that provided multiple areas that would accommodate private get-togethers and intimate lounging while ensuring that the garden had enough vegetation and storage space for the owner's collection of bicycles. Making use of the long rear yard site lines was essential to improve social gatherings while still maintaining privacy and individual function, including BBQ and dining, lounging, spa, bike shed with green roof and gardens. In the front, we kept it simple and elegant with a parking pad and landscaping to hide the two air conditioners under the front window.

Elegant and energy efficient. This bathroom was part of a Net Zero Ready home that we recently built. Net Zero homes produce as much energy as they consume and are 80% more efficient than current homes built to code. To help reduce energy consumption in this bathroom, we installed low flow fixtures, LED lights in the mirrors and an ERV (energy recovery ventilator). Because less energy is required to lower the temperature of dry air compared to moist air, an ERV can reduce the work your air conditioner needs to do and save you money. It also brings in fresh air flow and help with humidity levels, improving overall health and air quality. Another great feature of this bathroom is the shower which has a large clear glass window. This allows for direct sunlight from the window to access the shower, while the patterned glass on the bathroom/vanity side still provides a level of privacy for the user. We’re certain that these clients will be enjoying many sunny mornings in this oasis.

Addition includes new bathroom and closets at the second floor for the masterbedroom. The structure is supported on three steel columns with the space below used to house two condensers, direct door access into basement utility room and outdoor storage for garden equipment. The wall is clad in a traditional natural stucco finish. Windows serve the bathroom and closet area.
