This mountain-style timber frame home sits on top of Eagle Mountain, literally. Just an hour’s drive from Vancouver and nestled between Buntzen Lake and Coquitlam Lake, this home is a weekend destination for mountain biking, boating, and generally enjoying the outdoor lifestyle. While the front elevation of this timber retreat is designed for instant curb appeal, the rear elevation was designed to capture views of the lush British Columbia valley below.

The steep slope required a tier to be added for the small grassy area outside of the walk-out basement. This offered the opportunity to include a raised balcony above which flows out of the great room. Trusses in the home were limited to keep the vaulted areas from becoming too busy, but each truss was elegantly crafted for a distinct atmosphere. It is easy to spot the oak pegs which hold each connection together, just as they would have 100 years ago.
