CANADIAN HOME TRENDS CAN YOU
TALK ABOUT THE HOME'S DESIGN AND
LAYOUT?
ANDY KOBERWITZ This home was
designed to take advantage of the amazing
views of Agamemnon Channel. It carries the
signature style that West Coast Log Homes
are recognized for worldwide with unique
craftsmanship and distinctive design. Using
whole Western Red Cedar logs, the home
was handcrafted using precision joinery for
immense strength and natural beauty. Dakota
Ridge Builders, our construction contracting
company, completed the finishing of the
home.
CHT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT
INSPIRED THE OVERALL DESIGN?
AK The owners wanted the design to lend
itself well to hosting indoor/outdoor summer
parties. Tall kitchen windows open the full
length of the kitchen to expose the area to
the deck. This allows the hosts to prepare
delightful meals while easily chatting with
guests on the patio. Downstairs, the floor to
102
ceiling doors open the entire length of the
wall. This provides for an easy flow from the
great room to the patio and infinity pool
beyond.
CHT WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGN
ELEMENT IN THIS SPACE?
AK Every wing of the home takes in amazing
views. One can admire the sunset, keep an
eye on the kids in the pool or simply watch
kayakers glide past from one of the many
decks or windows.
CHT CAN YOU OFFER WORDS OF
WISDOM TO READERS LOOKING TO
BUILD A CUSTOM HOME?
AK Every successful building project begins
with a good design. Design with a goal and
your lifestyle in mind. Know your spending
limits, develop a realistic home building
budget and select an experienced builder
who will help plan, organize and coordinate
your project. With proper planning and
management, a builder can help you achieve
your goals for scope, cost, time and quality.
