“Waterfront Hillside Estate"

How you enter a home shapes the impression that stays with you. How about driving down your driveway only a few feet from the lake. Designed from inside out, every detail— including the materials, furniture, and art—flows was conceived well in advance and incorporated into the design to create functionality and beauty. A contemporary abode, truly named after its location facing the sweeping vistas of Okanagan Mountain Park.
The clients, a family with a penchant for art and nature, wanted a spacious home with room for entertaining and multi-generational living. To minimize the visual heft of the resulting 3,339 – square-foot abode, the architects terraced the three-story property into the hillside. 
The series of low-slung horizontal volumes simulate the feeling of a compound. A natural material palette and large expanses of high-performance glazing further blend the architecture into the landscape.
