Redwoods

House Recently Purchased - Salt Spring Island BC

The innate beauty of a site often dictates the layout of a home. When designing Redwoods, which is introduced by a gentle rise through a lush wooded glen, the designers worked hand in hand with nature to create a home with free-flowing interior spaces that readily open to the outdoors. Elemental walls of rock and greenery cradle the home in privacy and spectacular views of the ocean and coastline offer endless waves of scenery.  It settles into site as though it has been there for years.  Sun and shade patios have been carefully created to beckon from most every room on the main floor. The impressive stairwell takes you on journey through a backdrop of native shrubbery. Upstairs, a disciplined simplicity extracts the most from its one-and-a-half story style by creating areas for lounging, conversation or media along with the two additional bedrooms and a full bath. With a mindful continuation of the same shingle-styling found on the home’s exterior, the detached carriage house strikes the right balance between function and artful connection. The result is a home that can be lived in, played in, and where everything feels just right.
