In collaboration with Ryan Hoyt Design, our team created a thoughtful living environment with a functional open-concept layout that can accommodate a variety of lifestyles.

Fusing contemporary design with traditional character, the diverse elements of this custom home create a sense of place with careful consideration of durability and performance.

‘Our intent was to make each room in this home special and leverage some of the qualities that really make ARYZE unique.’–Matty Jardine, Aryze Principal

Superior materials like first-grade cedar shakes with a durable semi-transparent stain, frieze board, paint grade fir soffits and rafter tails were used to match the high-quality exterior requirements.

The finest workmanship and attention to detail are displayed in the walk-through pantry, wide central passage and office space defined with a transparent tempered glass wall–all centred around a great room with a soaring 18-foot ceiling.

The use of custom millwork and reclaimed materials from Brentwood Bay and the Royal Victoria Yacht Club highlight the unique character of this house, making it one of a kind.
