Saltspring

Municipality: Gulf Islands


A spectacular house move is a sustainable choice for Gulf Island homeowners

The Gulf Islands are full of innovative houses. Instead of building a custom home, these homeowners had an idea for a quicker and more sustainable option. They purchased a house that was then moved to Salt Spring Island by land and by sea. After pouring the foundations for the home, structural upgrades were required to modernize and future-proof the house: new mechanical systems and an exterior building envelope that included full-dimensioned timbers, siding, stucco, soffits, waterproofing and roofing systems.

Client objectives

The original home on the site was a heritage home that had burned down. The property owners purchased a home from Burnaby and wanted to bring it to their vacant site on Saltspring Island.

Project challenges
