DESIGN

Inspiration for this project came from the “monopoly house” shape of traditional chalets but with simple detailing and modern materials. Rectilinear shapes create well-organized spaces in an efficient building volume. A 3-sided verandah creates a covered entry and connects outdoor living space in the rear yard to the street, as well as sheltering the connection to the detached garage. Wood siding, harvested and manufactured locally, will clad the home in a warm and durable facade.

SUSTAINABILITY

Efficiency starts with the building shape. No basement and minimizing corners limit opportunities for heat and air loss while double stud walls and roof trusses maximize opportunity for high levels of insulation. Additionally, rigorous air, water, and vapour control layers ensure high performance throughout the year and the lifetime of the building.
