EAGLE HARBOUR
The Homeowner’s deteriorating rancher, built in 1956, was in desperate need of renovation to comfortably allow the owners to age-in-place, while meeting building code and energy requirements.
Envisioning a modern ranch-style farmhouse with heavy cedar-timber details, natural material colors, soft textures, and connecting harmoniously interior and exterior greenspace and an extension to a 4-season outdoor covered patio.
Highlights include an Art piece created by a relative of an heirloom grand piano in the dining area, a much-loved Royal Hudson-Train choo-choo around unused space above the kitchen’s walk-in pantry.
Structural challenges to optimize vaulted ceiling and open space concept within the existing building envelope.
Upgrades include solar-panels on garage roof, heat pump/recovery systems, new forced-air heating system. Reaching Step-Code 3.
We hired Susanne for a major renovation in our new home. Right from the first meeting, we were confident in her design capabilities and her proactive, creative and practical approach. She interpreted our design vision and respected our budget, bringing everything together beautifully in the final product. She was responsive to our many questions and emails, and always solutions focused. Overall, I would highly recommend Susanne and hope to work with her again in the future!
