BAKER RETREAT

<< back to galleries

A modern rural renovation built for beauty and durability.

Project Overview:
This home was designed for comfort, longevity, and modern living — all brought to life by our in-house design and construction team.

Every space was stripped back and reimagined: cleaner lines, better function, higher durability — no corners cut.

Scope of Work:
— Full exterior siding replacement for modern protection and visual impact
— Durable new flooring installed throughout the home
— Custom kitchen with slab cabinetry, large island, and matte black fixtures
— Two completely renovated bathrooms with bold tile, brass finishes, and integrated storage
— Interior design by Local One’s in-house team

This project reflects what we do best: clean execution, smart upgrades, and results that actually feel good to live in.

BAKER
RETREAT

“We couldn’t believe how different the space felt. The process was smooth, and the results speak for themselves.”

— Homeowners, "Baker Retreat"

OTHER RESIDENTIAL WORK

Community and cultural space for hosting events, ceremonies, and educational programs.

Construction Approach
We used a hybrid of traditional and modern building techniques to bring this space to life:

→ Structural foundation: Concrete footings and perimeter stem walls support the weight of the structure while allowing for long-term durability in a coastal, wet-climate region.

→ Log beam construction: Locally sourced round timbers were used for primary roof framing. These logs were individually selected and placed by hand — creating both architectural interest and a strong visual link to the land.

→ Framed walls + modern envelope: The exterior walls were framed with dimensional lumber and clad in plywood sheathing. We then wrapped the entire structure in Tyvek HomeWrap to ensure energy efficiency and weather protection before siding installation.

→ Sloped shed roof: The single-pitch roofline provides simple drainage and echoes traditional longhouse forms while allowing natural light to enter from above.

STORAGE BUILDING

GABRIOLA ISLAND, BC

COMMERCIAL NEW BUILD

Project Overview

What began as a necessary update turned into a high-performance upgrade for the community. The existing structure was fully demolished and replaced with a new purpose-built facility that balances durability, security, and visual cohesion with the surrounding park environment.

This was more than a shed—it was about building something that fits the needs of its users while withstanding the elements and aging gracefully in a public space.

Scope of Work

Demolition and safe removal of the existing park storage building
Construction of a new storage unit from the ground up, including:
Concrete foundation and insulated slab
Fine-line cedar siding treated with protective exterior stain
Seam steel roofing and custom aluminum soffits
Black steel door installation for improved access and security
Integrated lighting and electrical system, including GFCI outlets and vandal-resistant fixtures
Final grading, restoration, and remediation of all surrounding surfaces

Details That Matter

Built to BC Building Code 2018 standards
Designed by Homes by Olivia Inc.
Project completed with no public access disruption
Finished on time, with safety and quality at the forefront

Why It Matters

This project reflects our commitment to community spaces, regional partnerships, and structures that serve long after we pack up the tools. Whether it’s a custom home or a municipal facility, our process is the same: build it right, with intention.

Purpose Built Spaces

We hired Local One Construction for a commercial renovation, and it was clear from day one that we were in good hands. Their team was organized, communicative, and genuinely invested in the outcome of the project. They managed everything from permitting to final finishes with attention to detail and a commitment to staying on schedule. What really stood out was how easy they were to work with. No runaround, no delays — just a solid crew that showed up and got the job done right. We’d absolutely work with them again.

Each space was reimagined with modular furnishings that support collaboration, accessibility, and student comfort — from bright lounge areas to tech-ready workstations.

THE CARBON HOUSE

Dark grey stucco, natural stone, and crisp lines come together in a build that’s bold without being loud.

This custom home is where minimalism meets edge—designed to feel grounded, intentional, and unapologetically modern.

From the curb, The Carbon House commands attention with its bold, low-contrast exterior.

A charcoal stucco finish wraps the home in texture, punctuated by matte black trim and oversized windows that bring light in without compromising privacy.

The clean roofline, asymmetrical facade, and recessed entry create a sculptural feel—proof that simplicity doesn’t mean boring.

Step inside, and the mood continues. Warm walnut-toned floors flow through an open-concept layout, balanced by sleek black fixtures, natural stone elements, and warm neutrals. The kitchen is the anchor—designed with both style and function in mind. Custom cabinetry, an oversized island, and soft-close hardware elevate it beyond builder-basic. Pendant lights and a stacked tile backsplash add texture without clutter.

The rear of the home opens onto a covered deck—built for all-season use. With clean aluminum railing, wide stairs, and a stamped concrete pad below, it’s a natural extension of the living space. It feels private but open. Practical but polished.

Throughout the home, we prioritized natural light, efficient flow, and timeless materials. From the spacious garage to the lower-level windows, every inch of this build was designed with purpose.

What makes this project stand out isn’t just the curb appeal—it’s the restraint. There’s nothing trendy or overly precious here. Just clean craftsmanship, thoughtful choices, and a design that holds its own without shouting.
This is what we build: homes that last, spaces that feel like home from the moment you walk in.
