This quiet escape, asking $2.7M, is a fusion of contemporary architecture and the great outdoors.
Award-winning Omar Gandhi Architects envisioned this remote escape to integrate modern architecture with the rugged terrain of British Columbia. Located above Okanagan Lake, this property is nestled high in the mountains in a position that dually protects it and showcases the view.
Inspired by the resilience of the local mountain beetle, the structure stands as a testament to form and function. The lower level, encased in weathering Cor-Ten steel, blends into the rocky backdrop. Ascend the steel staircase to an inviting living space, cocooned in fire-resistant shou sugi ban siding.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking vistas of the surrounding wilderness, inviting the outside in. At night in the winter months, cozy up by the wood fireplace and witness the raw beauty of nature unfold as snow blankets the landscape. Away from the hustle and bustle of city life, find solace in the company of roaming wildlife, from elk and moose to the occasional mountain goat.
