Renfrew is a carefully crafted post-and-beam home that showcases the beauty of glulam construction. The project was a hands-on effort, with a small team focusing on every detail to ensure quality and character. Large windows and natural wood finishes connect the home to its surroundings, creating a warm and open feel. Built in the heart of Cowichan Valley, Renfrew is a reflection of both craftsmanship and thoughtful design, offering a timeless living space.

The home’s flooring—milled from trees cleared on-site—creates a meaningful connection to the land.

“Renfrew was one of our first big projects with glulam beams, and we took a hands-on approach. It was a small team, but that made every detail more intentional.”

“We didn’t want an ostentatious summer home with unobstructed views when all you see from the lakeshore is our house. We wanted something modern and functional to work with the environment and our lifestyle. Alan, Brad and our architect delivered.

The summers we spend in this home with family have been incredible.”
