Howe Sound House >>
Perched on the edge of the majestic Howe Sound fjords just northwest of Vancouver, this 6,480 sf single-family home is shaped by its dramatic landscape.

A steep, narrow site with a creek along the south side guided the design, while a circulation path connects the top of the property—where trains pass by—to the waterfront below with its private boat ramp.

The project includes the main residence, a secondary suite and a three-car garage.

Inside, the primary living space crowns the upper level, while the main living spaces, entry and suite occupy the heart of the home.

The lower floor offers additional bedrooms and a media room, all designed to embrace both the mountains and the sea.

There’s just something about a fireplace—warmth, character and that cozy focal point every home craves.

From modern lines to timeless stone and Venetian plaster, fireplaces set the mood and anchor the design. And guess what? It’s that time of year again…fireplace season is here!

NEW FEATURE - Kahshe Lake Cottage - link in bio 🔗 for full feature.

A family dream nearly 30 years in the making, the story of Kahshe Lake Cottage began in 1987 with a modest bunkie and a vision for the future.

After decades of pause and personal loss, architect Tom Knezic and Christine Lolley of Solares Architecture brought that dream to life—designing a cottage that honors legacy, love and place.

Organized as two distinct volumes—public living and private sleeping—anchored by a southwest courtyard, the home embraces southern light while framing northern views of the Sooke Hills on Vancouver Island.
