PORTFOLIO FEATURE
MODERN NET ZERO AND OFF GRID LUXURY HOMES
Your Modern Net Zero or Off Grid Luxury Home Awaits
I am happy to help you out no matter where in BC you want to build. Maybe you want an off-grid luxury cottage on one of the Gulf Islands in the Strait of Georgia, perhaps you're planning a modern net-zero house for your retirement in the Okanagan, or you intend to build a new Passive House in the Metro Vancouver area.
Watering restrictions can result in a dead lawn, and regions in British Columbia such as the Okanagan have precious little rainfall. The "blue roof" concept uses stormwater to create truly green architecture - lush greenery and landscaping - without paying for irrigation water. Smart plant selection, carefree irrigation, and low-maintenance landscaping of the permaculture concept allows you to enjoy your green space without expensive irrigation equipment. Using long-lasting roofing materials avoids a messy expensive roof replacement and extends the life of the house. A "living" green roof extends the life of your roof and provides natural habitat for birds and bees. See more by reading my Introduction to Green Buildings.
