ST ARNAUD

Our project is more than just a retirement home; it's a heartfelt nod to the historical ties this family has with the site. A simple, elegant house design has been crafted to provide a comfortable haven for the retiring couple, while paying homage to the past.

​

The house features clean and crisp lines, with scoria red cladding that evokes memories of old farming sheds. The site presented its challenges, with a fault line running through a portion of the section, which influenced the design to make the most of the usable space.

​

The clients had specific views in mind, and one to Parachute Rocks was particularly significant. Our design takes full advantage of these picturesque vistas.

​

Notable features of the design include a custom garage for a classic car enthusiast, an outdoor screened porch for entertaining, and a bridge connecting the parking area to the main dwelling.

​

Clad in durable vertical ribbed metal and fiber cement concrete panels, this dwelling is built to withstand the elements, standing firm against whatever nature throws its way. It's a testament to the enduring spirit of the family and their connection to this special place.
