Low horizontal
lines create a sense of intimacy ideally suited to the spacious,
terraced setting of the Benchlands - Naramata.
Broad overhanging eaves or extended roofs
provide shelter and shade for outdoor rooms, which extend living
spaces and integrate the house within the landscape. Bold chimneys
can serve to anchor the house to the land. Landscape terrace enclosures
and retaining walls serve to extend the walls of the house. Banded
windows create the magical effect of a “floating” roof.
Shingle or wood siding, detailed woodwork accents and even earthy
stucco finishes provide an attractive means of ensuring your house
is comfortably at home among the breathtaking Naramata landscape.
