An average home in BC usually runs about 110 gigajoules (GJ) per year, but Hythe House runs on 64 GJ per year—almost half the amount of energy as an average house in the city.
Details
A special feature is the suspended cabinetry and built-in millwork throughout. Custom millwork is a logical investment when building a custom home as it can really elevate the overall quality, aesthetics, and functionality of the property. It’s a nice way of infusing a distinctive design into the home, and you can give it unique elements to enhance that exclusivity. Creating such pieces requires meticulous attention to detail from highly skilled workers, but you end up with sophisticated finishes that are built to last.
Sustainability
Green Building Canada Platinum is the highest level of certification awarded by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC), proving the home demonstrates exceptional energy efficiency, water conservation, materials usage, indoor air quality, and overall ecological impact.
