White Wolf Homes Project:
Pacific Noir
Set on the waterfront in Saanich, this multi-level home had remarkable ocean views – and interiors that ignored them, with closed-off rooms, a dated kitchen and a cramped bathroom that doubled as the laundry. Our renovation reworked the layout entirely within the existing footprint, relocating the laundry, opening up sightlines and bringing the water into view throughout.
The lower level became a dedicated entertainment floor: a custom bar faced in handmade red zellige tile, a billiards lounge, a media area and a pinball room behind a glass pivot door. Overhead, a sculptural walnut ceiling sweeps across the room in a continuous S-curve, its edge traced in warm light as an echo of the waves beyond the glass. Vertical walnut slat walls and a cobalt leather banquette complete the space, and the powder room is a jewel box of navy Venetian plaster, curved walnut and blue zellige.

More White Wolf Homes builds
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.
When Paragon Parc entered receivership mid-construction, the project had 18 incomplete units. They were in various phases – some had cabinetry going in, some were not yet done framing. The prior builder had left behind over $2 million in unresolved structural and civil issues, including foundation deficiencies, drainage failures, framing non-compliance, gas and electrical line issues. Purchasers who had already committed deposits were watching their future homes sit unfinished. The lender needed a builder who could assess the full scope of the problem, take on liability for the resolution, and deliver a finished product.
White Wolf Homes was brought in by the Receiver, Grant Thornton, to complete the project. Our first task was a full structural and civil audit to identify every outstanding deficiency before committing to a completion scope. From there, we managed $10 million in remaining construction across 18 months, coordinating numerous trades, maintaining communication with the receiver throughout, and delivering all 18 unfinished units to completion.
The project was awarded Best Multi-Family Townhouse Development (Infill) at the 2026 Georgie Awards, judged by an independent out-of-province panel. Ron Hicks, Senior Vice President at J.S. Held, described the outcome: “White Wolf Homes stepped out of their element when they bid on the completion of Paragon Parc. Despite the foreseen and unforeseen challenges the project presented, they stepped up and brought it to a successful completion. I wouldn’t hesitate using their firm on a future project.”
