Outdoors, a sheltered walkway leads to this main entry door. Inside, there is polished concrete flooring with in-floor heat throughout the home. Daylight is also present from every angle. Rainscreen-style wall partitions slide to disguise what lies behind.

Characterized by wood, internally, externally, and scenically, this striking residence enjoys the privacy and spectacle of the far reaching countryside and mountain terrain. Diagonal broad door openings strengthen the connection between the indoor living and the 18 acre outdoor environment. By purposely utilizing sustainable materials, our intention was to incorporate details that highlight the bold and reflective beauty of the residence and its surroundings.

Design ideas for a modern landscaping in Edmonton.

Home is about creating a sense of place. Little moments add up to a sense of well being, such as looking out at framed views of the garden, or feeling the ocean breeze waft through the house. This connection to place guided the overall design, with the practical requirements to add a bedroom and bathroom quickly ( the client was pregnant!), and in a way that allowed the couple to live at home during the construction. The design also focused on connecting the interior to the backyard while maintaining privacy from nearby neighbors. Sustainability was at the forefront of the project, from choosing green building materials to designing a high-efficiency space. The composite bamboo decking, cork and bamboo flooring, tiles made with recycled content, and cladding made of recycled paper are all examples of durable green materials that have a wonderfully rich tactility to them. This addition was a second phase to the Mar Vista Sustainable Remodel, which took a tear-down home and transformed it into this family's forever home.
