The Cove – A Rugged Retreat

Tucked away in a protected North Saanich cove, this vibrant and cutting edge custom-build showcases a dramatic interior that tells a tale of adventure through the integration of sculptures and custom displays.

Merging rustic textures, live edge local timbers, quartzite and embellished concrete floors, this design effortlessly blends raw authentic materials to achieve a rugged and show-stopping aesthetic. Through the integration of expansive oceanfront tilt-and-turn windows and dramatic lighting, the team was able to create a bold aesthetic that was artistic, sculptural and functional.

Inspired by the home’s surrounding landscape, this design optimizes outdoor space through the incorporation of fire pits, an outdoor kitchen and extravagant water features that parallel the level of detail found inside the home.

Pushing boundaries, project Gull Haven, both rugged and rustic in design, achieved a daring and architecturally unique aesthetic that lays a foundation for stories to be written within its walls.
