Situated above the Vancouver skyline, overlooking the city below, this custom home is a top performer on top of it all. An open kitchen, dining, and great room with a 99 bottle capacity wine wall, this space is made for entertaining.
The three car garage houses the technical equipment including solar inverters and the Tesla Powerwall 2. A vehicle lift allows for easy maintenance and double parking storage. From BBQ season in the summer to the gorgeous sunsets of fall, the views are simply stunning both from and within the home. A cozy library and home office are well placed to allow for a more intimate atmosphere while still absorbing the beautiful city below.
Luxury custom homes are not always as high on the performance scale but this home boasts a modelled energy rating of 60 GJ/year compared with the 182 GJ/year standard, close to 70% better! With high-efficiency appliances and a well positioned solar array, this home may perform so well that it starts generating income through Net Metering.

Creme Leather & Master Walnut: The M&M standard of integrated luxury.
This bespoke dining suite was hand-built in our Sunrise workshop for a South Florida estate, featuring meticulously crafted curvilinear dining chairs upholstered in creme performance leather. Every chair was constructed using sinuous spring suspension and high-density medium-firm foam — the same resort-quality standard we deliver to Marriott, Hard Rock, and Le Méridien hospitality projects.
The chairs anchor a minimalist dining space featuring custom floating walnut cabinetry, with sightlines to a lush tropical courtyard. Performance leather was specified for its resistance to South Florida humidity while maintaining the soft hand-feel of premium hide.
Materials: Top-grain creme performance leather, solid hardwood frames, sinuous spring suspension, high-density medium-firm foam, book-matched walnut veneer cabinetry.
Techniques: Hand-pulled tailoring, precision skiving, structural frame engineering for daily dining use.
Built in-house by M&M Renovations — South Florida's premier custom upholstery and millwork workshop since 1976.

We chose to go with a dining loft and underloft for sleeping. The dining table folds in and lowers to a coffee table height. This makes it easier to play our guitars and kick out feet up if we want more of a living room feel. Mitsubishi Mini split above feels so good and sounds so silent.

The Solar Decathlon project’s focus on energy efficiency and modern design led them to select the Glo A5 Series windows and doors for the project. Two large Lift and Slide doors paired with hidden sash windows and two custom – and bright red – D1 entry doors complement the modern aesthetic of the home and provide exceptional thermal performance. High performance spacers, low iron glass, larger continuous thermal breaks, and multiple air seals deliver high performance, cost effective durability and sophisticated design. Beyond performance and looks, the A5 Series windows and doors provide natural ventilation and a strong visual connection to the outdoors.

Laminated glass is a safety glass that uses one or more layers of PVB film (polyvinyl butyral) or SGP between two or more pieces of glass. It is made under a special process and is combined into a whole through high temperature and high pressure within a certain period of time.
Longlass Laminated Glass Advantages:
1. We have high class dust-free constant temperature and humidity laminating production line.
2. We are the approved processor by SentryGlass
3. Our products meet the requirements of BS EN12600:2002 Class 1 (C) 1 ,and ANSI Z97.1-2015 Class A ,type 4.
An impact perfbimance test for materials in accordance with BS EN12600:2002 has been performed on the four given samples. The performance classification of the all test samples is Classification 1 (C) 1.
Performance Test
Sample:5mm tempered glass + 1.14 PVB + 5mm tempered glass
Impact Test: In accordance with Clause 5.1 of ANSI Z97.1-2015 Type 4
Thermal Test: In accordance with Clause 5.3 of ANSI Z97.1-2015
The distinguish between PVB & SGP:
1.The shear modulus of SGP is 50 times of that of PVB.
2.The Tear strength of SGP is 5 times of that of PVB.
3.The bearing capacity of SGP is 2 times of that of PVB.
4. The bending of SGP is only 1/4 of that of PVB.
In a word, SGP has better performance than PVB, and it's widely applied in glass path, glass ceiling, glass floor, Stair Treads,etc.
Longlass Laminated Glass Features
Energy saving
When sunlight directly shines on a piece of colorless laminated glass, the PVB interlayer film can absorb most of the heat and only radiate a part of the heat back indoors, making the indoor and outdoor heat difficult to conduct, reducing heat energy consumption, thereby maintaining indoor temperature and saving air conditioning Energy consumption.
Security
it can withstand the penetration of accidental impact. Once the glass is damaged, its fragments will still stick together with the intermediate film, which can avoid personal or property damage caused by the glass falling, and the whole piece of glass remains intact and can continue to withstand impact, wind and rain
Sound insulation
The interlayer film has the function of blocking sound waves, so that the laminated glass can effectively control the transmission of sound and play a good sound insulation effect.
Noise reduction
In the process of sound wave transmission, the glass on both sides of the film is reflected back and forth, and is attenuated and absorbed by the soft film. Generally, the noise can be reduced by 30-40 dB. The thicker the film, the better the noise reduction effect.
Decorative effect
The laminated glass can be sandwiched with various patterns, which can achieve the decorative effect, and there are also decorative effects such as ice glass.
UV resistance
The interlayer film has the function of filtering ultraviolet rays; the special PVB film can make laminated glass weaken the transmission of sunlight, effectively block ultraviolet rays, reduce the fading of indoor fabrics. The color PVB interlayer film has different light transmittance, and can control the ultraviolet and heat gain as needed. It will not block the penetration of visible light .
