House - Salt Spring Island BC

Brilliant design and architecture, seamlessly created by gifted professionals with an underlying authenticity and an appropriate response to the unique qualities of light, space and land. All is wonderfully, exactly right. With innovative and award-winning design work that is of national and international interest, this oceanfront home is a unique opportunity on low bank shoreline. Rooms are cauldrons of coloured light in which one can visually swim. The integration with the seaside setting is honest and true. Comprised of three buildings, including a luxurious west facing guest house and professional ocean view studio, the residence is poised to become a fabled family compound for memorable summers.  

FINE FEATURES:

TECHNICAL DETAILS:

• The home is equipped with Vantage home automation and integration equipment providing easy access and control to security, distributed audio and video as well as many more capabilities.
• Lighting was a critical part of this home’s design concept. Powered by the same Vantage computer driven system, it allows for ambient uplighting in both the beamed ceilings and set directly into the floor to graze the textures of the stone walls.
• Cabinet and niche lighting make every accessory glow.
• The architectural design itself, makes excellent use of natural light. The glass skylight that runs the length of the building creates a dynamic daytime interior as light and shadow move through the space.
