Fernan Lake

A lakeside Passive House that blends performance with softness—
water front views, natural materials, and quiet efficiency.

Still water. Soft light. Zero compromise.

Set against the serene backdrop of Fernan Lake, this residence takes cues from the architecture that defines the Pacific Northwest—timber-forward, low-profile, and deeply connected to the surrounding natural landscape. Designed to meet rigorous Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) standards, it pairs high-performance detailing with a warm and tactile palette of wood, stone, and steel. The home’s low, angular form bends gently with the hillside, stepping across the terrain in response to its natural curve. Expansive windows draws in lake views and natural light, while advanced energy systems ensure comfort and efficiency year-round. With an emphasis on low impact and reducing energy consumption, without compromising aesthetics, this residence is an example of luxury living with environmental responsibility at its core.
