COLDSTREAM RESIDENCE 1

This single-family residence is strategically located on the edge of a steep embankment overlooking Kalamalka Lake in Vernon. The main floor of the home cantilevers over the foundation walls providing an unobstructed view of the lake below. The home utilizes structural insulated panel building technology and thermally broken slab/foundation wall detailing to limit thermal conductivity into the building. The residence also features a detached pottery studio and carport that are accessible from the main house by a breezeway.
