Built into a steep ravine site long considered unbuildable, this home demonstrates how thoughtful design can unlock the potential of challenging landscapes.

Insulated concrete form construction provides exceptional thermal and acoustic performance while meeting the structural demands of the terrain. Passive solar gain, thermal mass, natural shading, and stack-effect ventilation work together to maintain year-round comfort with minimal energy use and no mechanical cooling.

A palette of durable, sustainable materials, including reclaimed-content hardwood flooring, low-VOC finishes, hand-formed brick, cedar siding, and zinc detailing, grounds the home within its natural setting while reflecting the Victorian homes of the surrounding neighbourhood.
