Estate home at dusk with a standing-seam metal roof, stone piers and lit windows above a concrete driveway

The Oak Royal

Saanich · New Build · 2022

Everything for daily life is on the entry floor — no steps from the driveway, and the deck runs the full width of the back, looking out over the valley to the hills. Below it the ground falls away, so the lower floor walks straight out to the lawn: gym at one end opening onto a mat terrace, media room and bar at the other. Walnut millwork throughout, white oak floors, quartz, and a standing-seam roof over all of it.
