The couple deliberated for many hours over lighting, looking for something both warm and contemporary. In the kitchen they chose a gorgeous Larkspur glass pendant with a larger matching fixture above their dining room table. Smooth silestone quartz countertop is silky to touch while being naturally porous and therefore easy to maintain. The same material is used throughout the house, in the kitchen as well as the two bathrooms. “We love entertaining,” says Jocelyn. “Usually when we have people over we end up in the kitchen!” The curved red cedar ceiling framed with fir glulam roof beams is a striking feature. “I like the loft feeling that it gives you when you’re inside,” Steve explains. “I like modern architecture but often it has flat ceilings. Unless you put them up really high you feel a bit enclosed.” The home is a work of art designed to integrate with the landscape. For both Steve and Jocelyn it is the natural environment that makes their space so special. “We’re ocean swimmers and we paddleboard so we just fell in love with this area,” says Jocelyn. “We are so blessed to be here. It’s mesmerizing.” by Jennifer Cox | Features Editor | Comox Valley Record www.jenniferleecox.com
