Ruby Mountain Builders had been seeking land for a mid-Century Modern spec home, when custom plans in that style were brought to us by prospective clients. The Alberta-based designer and the BC-bound couple had done some solid work together, but the site encouraged a few changes. An impressive boulder forced us to flip the basement 180 degrees, while the dynamite north view motivated a main floor flip. With a late-season start, rampant material inflation, and EPIC December and January snowfall, the challenge was set -- and everyone rose to the occasion. The clients' strong aesthetic, and openness to the builder's eye regarding exterior finishes, produced what might be our most attractive build to date.

Features include: in-floor heat throughout, well-organized closet shelving, handsome fir beams, cedar decking and porch ceilings, and custom steel work.
