Aside from the essentials, we can only think of one thing that a home must have for it to earn the title ‘Award-Winning Custom Home’. Balance.

From the location of the home on the lot - close to, yet far enough away from a stream and adjacent parkland - to the perfect placement of a staircase to optimize floor space but remain an attractive signature element; beautiful balance is at work throughout this home.

The result is spacious bedrooms, Jack’n’Jill bathrooms, ample storage and a media room that can be enjoyed without keeping everyone awake.

Balance is also about making sense. From effortless movement throughout the home and solar-ready energy efficiency, to capturing the mountain views from inside and the use of native plants and shrubbery outside, when things make sense they are far more pleasing.

Regardless of how much time you spend in the kitchen, you probably spend more time than you think. That makes designing and creating the kitchen one of the biggest challenges in custom home building. Even the tiniest detail must be considered for desirability, aesthetics, ergonomics and practicality.

Starting with an open concept, this kitchen is ready to encourage the chef in you, hold impromptu family gatherings, and have a spot for everyone when all your guests end up there at a party.

Fulfilling so many roles also takes imagination and ingenuity. Outdoor meals are as easily served as those in the dining room. Clean, straight lines, uninterrupted by cabinet handles keep you calm even when every dish you own needs washing. And the contrasting cabinets, stunning countertops and versatile lighting options make it an inviting place to be, day and night.
