The big sell: This 3,200-square-foot waterfront home was built on a third-acre lot just outside Sechelt blending West Coast elements with contemporary style and energy efficiency. Architect Ben Barrington explains that Pennsylvania blue stone was incorporated into the walls to capture the heat in the day and release it at night while the polished concrete floors contain in-slab heating. The flat roof is designed as a green roof to further add to the sustainable performance of this two-storey house. Noteworthy attributes include accordion doors that open to extend the living space onto a covered patio as well as framing panoramic south-facing ocean vistas, an AGA stove, a wood-burning fireplace, exposed-beam ceilings, a two-car garage, and an elevator that travels between the ground floor and the upstairs living space.
