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.

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.

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.

THE FAIRLIGHT

Modern Functionality Meets Refined Design

The Fairlight is a striking example of modern prairie architecture brought to life with precision craftsmanship and thoughtful design. From the street, its bold geometric form commands attention—anchored by a vertical column of dark stacked stone, contrasted with warm white stucco and matte black-framed windows. The entryway is elevated and inset, creating a sense of arrival without feeling imposing.

The oversized garage with frosted glass doors isn’t just for vehicles—it’s a space that supports real life. With room to store, build, and breathe, this garage reflects what today’s homeowners need: functionality that doesn’t compromise on design.
Inside, the home continues to surprise. A sunlit open floor plan blends clean lines with subtle textures—highlighted by full-height tile backsplash in the kitchen, sleek cabinetry, and a tray ceiling detail that elevates the entire main living space. The palette is refined: white quartz, deep charcoal, and black accents layered with soft natural light from oversized windows throughout.

The primary suite features a generous ensuite with custom cabinetry, a separate soaker tub and shower, and direct access to an oversized walk-in closet—designed for both practicality and ease. Every finish was selected for durability without sacrificing aesthetic value.

From the back, the covered deck opens onto a low-maintenance fenced yard—ideal for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. Even the basement windows are larger than average, ensuring the lower level doesn’t feel like an afterthought.

Why It Stands Out
Architectural Statement: A bold exterior combining texture, symmetry, and practical geometry
Modern Interior Flow: Open concept living with defined zones and functional storage
Built for Real Life: Oversized garage, smart storage, and hard-wearing finishes that hold up over time
Crafted by Experts: Every detail—from stair railings to ceiling transitions—reflects the care of experienced builders who understand not just construction, but lifestyle

This project reflects what we do best: creating spaces that aren’t just beautiful, but built to last—spaces that make everyday living feel effortless.
