Perched on the shores of Lake Okanagan, this home is the perfect balance of structural innovation and natural inspiration. What began as a modest lakeside cabin has been completely reimagined into a modern retreat, designed to embrace its surroundings while offering a sense of refined simplicity.
One of the boldest transformations was pulling the front of the house forward, allowing for a dramatic 20-foot-high entry volume that sets the tone for the entire home. To maintain an open, uninterrupted flow, we engineered a single 1” all-thread to support the second story—eliminating posts near the feature stairwell and letting the architecture breathe. Every detail was considered to create a seamless connection between structure and environment, drawing from the textures of sand, stone, and wood to craft a palette that feels both grounded and timeless.
The result is a home that doesn’t just sit on the land—it belongs to it. Designed for effortless living, it captures the essence of the Okanagan with a quiet, understated elegance that will endure for years to come.
