Completed in 2011, the construction of this summer residence on Okanagan Lake began with a demolition that reduced the original house to its foundation. Square footage of the new premises was maximized by the inclusion of a loft space as the third level and a walk-out guest house below the garage. The design aesthetic relies heavily on natural materials such as stone and porcelain tile, quartz surfaces, end grain fir and cherry wood, and an expansive amount of glass on the lake side. The clean and contemporary design creates an understated back drop for the stunning surroundings. Interior Design was completed in collaboration with MQN Interiors
