From forest edge to coastal bluff.


This project is in development. The first stages are realized and maturing.

Both the site and the architecture are stunning. The location is unique and represents a transition between forest edge meadow and rocky coastal shoreline, all situated in a Garry Oak ecosystem.

The architecture composition embraces a visual narrative where the perception of the shore and the sea is narrowed and opens up again while you enter the dwelling.

Reclaiming the property- setting the stage. 

Creating privacy from the road and from neighbouring properties and making the full property part of the garden / landscape experience. 

Stone surfaces - wood structures 

Material emerging from the underlaying landscape.
