A wonderful family from Calgary, Alberta have a dream to reside in a West Coast forest on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This new 10,000 sq. ft. home will accommodate their 3 adult children and/or friends as they visit, but will also afford contained and comfortable environs for the couple when they are alone. At the request of the owners, every effort is being made to be conscious of sustainability in terms of materials, procedures and systems, including ground source geothermal.
