The final design of the new residence was largely determined by a few main factors, the first being that the building lot was located up high relative to the street elevation which meant the house needed to be down scaled in its massing. Secondly, the building lot has a very steep in grade. Thirdly, approximately 50% of the land was located in a conservation limit area.

The residence is 4,192 square feet, of which 1,085 square feet is the attached in-law apartment located to the eastern side of the main residence. The main house is comprised of an open family room/kitchen arrangement with an elevation difference between to serve as a buffer. The dining room and the formal living room were designed so that large dinner gathers could overflow into the living room. On the second floor, the house has three bedrooms inclusive of a master suite, a bath and a large computer room located over the garage.

The residence was designed utilizing "Energy Crafted Home" standards and has a vertical ground loop heat pump system for its mechanical system. The insulation was a blown-in blanket system giving the exterior wall and roof components excellent insulation values. Utilizing these energy details the home will have a good energy consumption rate, as well as a more comfortable living environment.
