SUMMER LANE | WHISTLER, BC
Set on beautiful Green Lake and surrounded by panoramic views of the whistler mountains, this project is sure to be a solace retreat for years to come. The project is roughly 4000 sf with 3 bedrooms, and 4 baths, and boasts an expansive kitchen, library, wine room, and loft area. A marriage of transitional design elements, greige teak shaker cabinets were paired with flat-panel white in various millwork locations. Hardwood hickory was received on the main level while the lower level living spaces were polished concrete. We had a great time developing the wine cellar for these connoisseurs as well, not to mention the expansive library corner. Fabulous clients to work for, at a fabulous location that we will remember fondly for years to come.
