The Vision

Nestled in picturesque Naramata, a region renowned for its lush vineyards and lake views, our homeowners wanted to construct a custom home that mirrored the tranquility and beauty of its natural environment. The goal was to create a luxuriously comfortable, eco-friendly living space that perfectly reflected their family’s lifestyle. 

The challenge? Constructing a home to be 80% more efficient than the standard code during pandemic-driven material shortages and rising costs.

Design and Innovation

This custom Okanagan home perfectly blends thoughtful design and sustainable innovation. The structure’s orientation and window placements were intricately planned to maximize natural light and frame the breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards and lake. 

Every aspect, from the strategic overhangs for optimal sun exposure and shade control to the energy-efficient construction, is a nod to aesthetic and environmental consciousness.

This gorgeous custom home features:

  • Efficiency by Design: Achieved Step 5 Design and Execution, readying the home for a Net Zero future.
  • Structural Integrity: Using a thermally broken steel superstructure offers strength and energy efficiency.
  • Nature-Infused Aesthetics: The extensive concrete work, delicately scribed to resemble natural granite, minimized the environmental impact.
  • Resilient Exteriors: The home boasts a low-maintenance exterior, integrating fire-smart materials for added safety.
  • Customized Interiors: Featuring Redstag’s signature millwork with sequenced white oak, tailoring each space to the homeowner’s preferences.
  • Advanced Window Solutions: We Incorporated Reynaers Masterline 10 Passive House-rated systems for unparalleled insulation and aesthetics.
  • Unique Outdoor Features: A standout 40′ container pool, ingeniously suspended to offer a stunning view.
  • Robust Patio Design: Steel structure patios with suspended slab concrete for durability and elegance.

Navigating Challenges

The steep site conditions with exposed bedrock demanded an innovative approach to the foundation and architectural concrete walls. The build was further complicated by material shortages and extreme cost fluctuations due to the pandemic. Non-conventional sequencing and cadence were used to adhere to the carefully considered details from the designer. 

A collective effort from all involved, including site staff, sub-trades, and consultants, ensured complex problems were broken down into manageable tasks, maintaining a no-compromise attitude on quality and service.

The Outcome

The result is a breathtaking home that seamlessly blends luxury with sustainability, exceeding expectations in both form and function. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, a strong collaborative effort from the Red Stag team, the homeowner, and the designer ensured the project was completed exactly as intended. The homeowners happily settled in their new home, a living part of Naramata’s captivating landscape.
