Slocan Cottage

This house was designed to blend in with its natural surroundings. The client wanted a modest sized home that was energy efficient, and used locally sourced, non-toxic materials both inside and out. The result is a Built Green Certified home, designed and constructed with attention to detail and superior craftsmanship. All of our houses are designed and built net zero energy ready, which means solar photovoltaic panels and/or solar hot water panels can be installed at any time.
