Every home, every structure, has a story, and this one is an epic tale.
For almost a decade, the owner of this home laboured to build himself and his family a timber frame home in a beautiful little fruit orchard in the valley of Kaslo, BC. One year after they moved in, the house tragically caught fire. The upper floor of the home was destroyed, and the main floor and basement were significantly damaged. Starting by demolishing the upper floor of the house, we rebuilt from the ground up, inside and out.
This custom design and build was an opportunity to find creative ways to repurpose the materials used to build the original structure, all the salvageable timbers from the old roof system were re-used to build a full wrap-around deck on the back of the house. The torched look of the timbers became the motif for the rest of the house and part of this bittersweet story.
