Major Renovation: Kintyre

This was a back to the studs inside and out major renovation of a house on Kintyre Drive here in Squamish. Energy efficiency was a major focus for our client on this project. We installed 1.5″ of exterior insulation along with a very well-detailed air barrier strategy. We took this building from an air tightness of 7.89ACH pre-renovation to a final air tightness score of below 1ACH. Which means it is very easy to keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer. New windows and a new heat pump all make this building a very, very efficient house. ⁠
⁠
Our in-house design team worked with our clients to ensure this house had everything this young family wanted in a newly renovated home. We ripped out the old pool and installed a new one with an automated cover for safety and efficiency. Outdoor living space was crucial to them, and the flow from inside to outside for entertaining was key. ⁠
⁠
We removed some interior walls upstairs and really opened up the kitchen and living room. With larger windows looking out onto the backyard oasis and a multi-panel sliding door, the modern minimalist kitchen flows perfectly out onto the covered deck space and into the backyard. ⁠Complete with a climbing wall with anchors bolted into the ceiling, this house is a true Squamish dream.
