Beachcomber Bay
An extensive renovation of a 1970s lakeside home on Okanagan Lake, creating a refreshed design while respecting the original structure. The project included expansive glazing along the lakefront, requiring updates to the home’s lateral and gravity framing systems to maintain structural integrity. The upper floor ceiling was vaulted with new beam work, enhancing the sense of openness, while a lightweight hydronic heating system was introduced to minimize added weight and maximize reuse of existing framing members. Careful detailing ensured the structure remained clean and unobtrusive.
