Today we are throwing it back to this custom-built home on Vancouver Island that was thoughtfully constructed around a Garry Oak meadow and evolved into a masterclass in contrast and craftsmanship. Every inch of the lot was meticulously transformed—its challenges turned into design opportunities. The shifting shadows of the oaks dance across bold materials like metal, cedar, and concrete, while inside, warm elegance softens the modern edge with refined finishes.

We are very excited to finally share this unique custom build we have been attacking over the last couple years. Every square inch of this property has been addressed and developed into something special. The lot is nestled in between 3 Gary Oaks which presented its challenges, but added so much to the design and placement of the windows as they constantly cast ever changing shadows throughout the home and its bold elegant finishes. The home consists of three majority materials - Metal, Cedar and Concrete! With the outside of the home being bold, the inside has a much warmer elegant feel with some bold finishings. In the end this home came to life exactly how it was envisioned from the beginning and we couldn’t be happier with how it presents itself. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We will be sharing more pictures in the coming weeks. We would also like to thank some of the key trades that were pivotal in its success and performed their trade with utmost care and integrity every step of the way. We truly appreciate you all! 🔥🔥 @broadwellmetal @thomasphilipswoodworking @specialized_plumbing @gorgeelectricalservices @calibredoors @hamilton_stone @alliedglass.ca @gabrielrossshop @wenstobtimber @mikerandalldesign @vanbucholtzmechanical @truanforsyth @cieslakleo @lewiscarter87 @taylordesouza_ @michaeleison @joellseph Thank you @jodybeckphotography for all your incredible pics 📸
