A Luxurious Sustainable Cabin
Built to BC Energy Step Code 5 using BC Passive House panels and detailing, the Conifers goes beyond standard construction to minimize both embodied and operational carbon. High-performance building systems, careful siting, and a disciplined approach to energy performance work together to ensure exceptional efficiency and year-round comfort across all three levels.
The home uses Passive House panels and detailing to meet Step Code 5 and support long-term energy performance.”

Maximizing Natural Light
Innotech’s Defender 76TS system with triple glazing supports exceptional thermal performance, energy efficiency, and durability throughout the home. Most window configurations were designed with minimal mullions and couplers to create cleaner sightlines and larger expanses of glass — oversized tilt and turn windows further enhance natural light and ventilation on every level.
Enhancing Sustainability
Innotech’s Lift + Slide Doors strengthen the connection between the interior living spaces and the surrounding coastal landscape, opening each level to unobstructed ocean views. Together with the Defender 76TS windows, the fenestration systems complete a high-performance building envelope that brings the outdoors in without compromising energy efficiency, durability, or year-round comfort.
