White Wolf Homes Project:
Aurelia
Set against a forested hillside, this modern custom home was built on a site that needed a lot of problem-solving before construction could start. When we took over, the previous contractor’s work had already disturbed the area set aside for the septic field. That left one workable location, high up the slope. Supporting a septic field at that elevation seemed nearly impossible, so we engineered and built a series of terraced retaining walls to hold it. We shaped the walls to belong to the landscape, and they now frame the driveway and gardens.
Inside, the home balances warmth and contrast. White oak cabinetry and a large island anchor a kitchen with a charcoal tile backsplash, a pro-style range and a pot filler. Windows look out onto the natural rock outcroppings that define the property. The open living area flows around a floor-to-ceiling tiled fireplace, with tall windows bringing in the surrounding trees. Upstairs, the primary ensuite has separate vanities and a freestanding soaker tub. Below the main living level, a three-car garage sits under a wraparound deck with glass railings.

Every project begins with the lot. The slope, the setbacks, the mature trees, and the municipal requirements drive every meaningful design decision that follows.
On Gardner Place in Saanich, these four luxury townhomes sit in two modern buildings facing each other across a shared courtyard. Warm wood-look siding, crisp white rooflines and covered roof decks give the pair a clean, West Coast feel, softened by a landscape plan of Corten steel planters, raised garden beds with cedar benches and a private hedged patio for each home.
Each home offers about 1,588 sq ft and is planned around easy living, with the primary bedroom – complete with five-piece ensuite and walk-in closet – on the main floor alongside the kitchen, dining and living spaces under 10-foot ceilings. Two more bedrooms and a roof deck sit upstairs, each home has a garage with EV charging, and interiors by Spaciz come in light and dark finish schemes.
Ivory Ale is one of two homes we built side by side on Falkland Road in South Oak Bay – the lighter of the pair. White board-and-batten siding, steep gables, natural stone and a dark standing-seam metal roof give it a crisp modern farmhouse character, with black-framed windows and a deep covered porch. Designed by Blackline Home Design, it complements its cedar-shingled neighbour, Westwyn, while holding its own on the street.
Inside, the home is built for main-floor living, with the owner’s suite on the main level. The kitchen pairs a generous stone-topped island with warm wood cabinetry, a full-height slab backsplash, a gas range and pot filler, and opens to a bright dining area framed in black-trimmed glass. Vaulted ceilings carry the light into the bedrooms, and a separate one-bedroom suite above the garage offers room for extended family or guests.
