Description
This model is part of a small enclave of new homes in a well treed, mature neighbourhood built in the 1960s. The design elements are broadly appealing, intended to entice a range of families. The open plan living features a quiet “away room” on the main floor and four bedrooms on the second level. These production homes offer homeowners the unique opportunity to combine the visually appealing with energy efficient construction and design, engaging both their aesthetic and pragmatic senses.
The ground floor plan supports informal living with the dining area adjacent to an “entertainment style” kitchen. The light-filled double volume great room allows great visual interconnection with the second floor, the dining room and the outside garden spaces.
The exterior presents clean modern forms in a palette of charcoal brick, grey stucco, anodized aluminum clad window systems and a natural cedar porch soffit. The house incorporates increased insulation levels and energy efficient HVAC systems to achieve an R2000 designation with an EnerGuide rating of 89.
All of the lighting fixtures are LED, drywall is recycled, millwork and trim are formaldehyde-free, paints and sealants are low VOC and the birch flooring is made from reclaimed river logs. Horizontal exterior louvers and roof overhangs are used on the south façade to prevent overheating of the house during the summer months. Preservation of on-site trees provides for a leafy canopy to the outdoor relaxation spaces.
The “away room” and three-piece washroom on the main floor are multi-purpose, depending on the homeowner’s need. For instance, the area is suited for use by a live-in aging parent.
These homes respond to the growing desire for the modern offerings of energy efficient homes with the quiet elegance that a mature neighbourhood offers- all at a competitive price point. These homes embody “sustainability with style.”
