Tucked snugly into the mountain, this visually arresting home becomes one with its surroundings – the plateau-like hills of the Okanagan Highland. Using natural materials, including wood beams, concrete walls, and glass enclosures, the property blends with the natural terrain, and takes advantage of the site overlooking Okanagan Lake, one of the many beautiful lakes in the Okanagan Highland region of Western Canada.

Expansive windows and skylights bathe the dwelling in natural light.
Bringing the outdoors in, two wooden boats are suspended in the stairwell, creating a visceral connection with the lake vista seen through the windows.
