Little Shuswap Chalet

This exquisite vacation home along the shores of Little Shuswap Lake was a collaborative timber frame project between Daizen Joinery and Nicola LogWorks. Due to the steep building site and terrain, Daizen developed a framing solution that utilized 20 different post heights to account for changes in slope. The overall effect is modern and makes the most of sweeping views of the lake.

Notable

Multiple post heights were created on this steep building site perched along the Little Shuswap Lake front.
