A Long-Distance Legacy Renovation in Whistler
Based in Long Island, New York, the homeowners purchased this Whistler property in 2015 as a getaway for family and friends. Looking ahead to retirement and passing the home to their children, they decided to undertake a complete transformation. The primary catalyst for the project was a failure in the existing in-floor heating system requiring full floor removal to fix which expanded into a comprehensive interior redesign. Design and permitting coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing the clients from visiting Canada in person. The entire project was managed seamlessly across borders using scheduled Zoom walkthroughs and real-time FaceTime progress updates.

A Modernized, Year-Round Mountain Sanctuary
