Forever Home - home design from the ground up

When our clients first came to us to  help with their mountain home design, they had just purchased an acreage  that was largely undeveloped - save for an older home that needed to be  removed.  Boasting spectacular views in all directions, the acreage  nestled between the western side of the Rocky Mountains and the eastern  slopes of the Purcells, near Golden, BC.  

The  plan was to design and build a custom home for now and into the  future.  One that they could grow old in.  Our clients dreamed of a home  that was cognizant of the  environment both in its energy efficiency and its close relationships with the views  and the land around. 

Working  closely with the client we designed a home that consisted of  cozy and  welcoming living spaces and split through the middle with a clerestory window hallway that spilled light into the space even in the dark of winter.    The effect was of a vein of quartz running through  granite.
