Challeges:
This family chalet was due for an evolution of sorts – one that would honour their many years there, but also look toward the future. Recognizing that the property had spectacular views that weren’t being maximized, ASQUITH focused much of their energy on the removal of walls, doubling the size of windows, increasing air circulation and designing an expansive deck that took full advantage of the breathtaking vista.
What materials did you choose and why?
Retaining some of the home’s history was important to the owners. ASQUITH achieved this by incorporating the existing reclaimed wood beams. As well, they put great effort into choosing additional wood accents that would complement throughout, including white oak floors and cabinetry. Finally, by contrasting the wood with white walls, the effect was dramatic, light and airy.
Materials used:
- Windows/Doors: Loewen Windows & Doors
- exterior glass railing standoffs: CR Laurence
